Hi All,

We've come across a very annoying problem in the P/O Module of Accpac (5.6) - when entering Invoices we have not found a way to enter the VAT amount manually (i.e. Accpac automatically calculates the VAT based on the Tax Class that has been created for that Vendor).

In the A/P Invoice entry there is an drop down option on the "taxes" tab that allows "tax amount" to be entered. It is necessary for us to use this option for all freight clearing agent invoices.

Does anyone know how to enter the VAT amount manually in the P/O Invoice entry?

Thanks

On the PO Invoice Entry screen go to the Taxes tab and change the Tax Amount column.

Thanks Etienne,

you are 100% correct. I did not explain correctly though. We are trying to enter the clearing agent invoice for freight/clearing cost as an "additional cost" (under the tab with that name) and under that tab there is no way to change the VAT manually?

P.S we are doing this becasue this is the only way to include freight cost into the cost of the inventory items in accpac.

It helps to be specific ;)

On the Add Costs tab you enter the freight/clearing and then click Vendor Taxes, in Tax Included or Tax Excluded (depending on your tax authority setup) you can enter the tax amount. Do not click Calc Taxes because that will go back to the calculated tax amount.

Yes, it does help :)

On our Screen on Additional Costs there is no "Vendor Taxes" button - the only buttons available are "Cost/Tax" or "Calc. Taxes". When I click on the "Cost/Tax" button the screen looks like (see screenshot attached) and there is no way to change the "Tax included" field - it is greyed out.

Thanks!

It must be a Saffer version, in my version it looks like this:

That is on the PO Receipt Entry screen... not the PO Invoice Entry screen.

I also thought they fobbed the cheap saffer version off on us but it turns out you can only enter the VAT manually in the PO Receipt entry screen (and not in the PO Invoice entry screen - which seems a bit dumb).
Thanks Etienne changing VAT manually in PO Receipt entry does work!
