Update Sales Tax on invoice manually

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 781

Hi,

When sales invoices are created and sales tax calculated in Dynamics BC, is it possible to manually change/update the amount of the tax before invoices are posted?

We are planning to import invoices from another system and the tax calculation may be different.

Thank you,

Oleg.

    Hi,

    For this do small customization, if some rounding issue comes, then system will create auto rounding line in sales line.

    We will be dealing with rounding differences. I found the place in BC (under invoice statistics) where tax amounts can be adjusted. I think we should be ok.

    Thank you for your help!

    Cheers,

    Oleg.

    It would, but allowing users to manually change rates/amounts would also invalidate tax reliability.

    Question becomes, which system will be your system of record and tax reporting. If BC, then use the data calculated there and operationally deal with differences from the other. If you can't then you should probably use the other system for sales tax reporting and bring the tax into BC as a G/L line as Kim suggests. I don't see how you could manually modify tax calculations in BC to match another system then survive an audit.

    My $0.02.

    Hi Kim,

    Thank you for the answer.

    While capturing the tax in GL seems fine, wouldn't that render tax reports in BC obsolete?

    Thank you again,

    Oleg.

    Taxes are calculated based on tax liable, tax area code and tax group code. You must bring in those fields so BC can calculate...if you want to use the tax system in BC. Two options

    1 if the amount is different, define a gl account for the rounding issues

    2 don't have BC calculate and just bring in tax as a gl account line.
