Re: VAT on purchase invoice (24 replies, posted in Accounts Payable)
If I understand from your post #22, are you saying that the system automatically fails to calculate purchase VAT (from the same item sold) just to account for the Purchase tax reclaimable?
No. System calculate taxes according to your setup . If you select tax group which does not contain taxes, no tax will be calculated.
Please read the related wiki page to learn how the tax system works in FA. It works exactly the same for sales and purchases (despite the taxes are posted to credit or debit GL side). Taxes calculated depend both on item involved (by Item Tax Type) and customer/ssuplier (by Tax Group).

Re: VAT on purchase invoice (24 replies, posted in Accounts Payable)
If tax is properly posted for sales invoice but this is not the case for supplier invoice (providing the same item is sold and purchased), the supplier used for purchase invoice has tax group selected which is fully tax exempt.

Re: make Delivery Date in Purchase order same as date of Purchase Order (5 replies, posted in Accounts Payable)
Delivery date is date of arrival of goods to your inventory, not the date of delivery from your supplier. Using FS 2.3 if this is the same date you can eventually use Direct Purchase Delivery which generate related PO in background during GRN, without need for separate PO entry.

Re: Cost of goods (9 replies, posted in Items and Inventory)
This is not so easy. Transportation costs are subject to payment, so it should be registered on AP account of freight company, therefore we have to entry separate supplier invoice for it. Also additional transportation charges change cost of items involved in given delivery, and have no influence on other items in inventory, so cost invoice have to set relation to selected delivery. Do you know how it is maintained in other accounting packages from user point of view?

Re: Supplier Payment and GST (17 replies, posted in Accounts Payable)
You can also define Quick Entry of type bank payment and use it for direct registering payment to costs and tax accounts.
Regarding Supplier Invoice it does calculate taxes, however taxes are not displayed on screen for now. This issue is subject to change in 2.3RC1, I think.

There is no additional setting required, so if the theme did not appear in selector you have probably incorrect permissions set on the new folder, then www server cannot read it.

Re: Supplier Payment and GST (17 replies, posted in Accounts Payable)
This is simply because payment is not subject to taxation. The taxes are collected or deducted on sales invoice issue or purchase invoice receive respectively.

Re: fiscal year (22 replies, posted in Setup)
Maybe we should change this, but this require checking not only GL postings table but also a couple of other tables which store other 'transactions' like orders which do not generate any GL postings. Current way of maintenance of fiscal years is simplest one, other one would be more prone to errors after eventual future db structure changes.

Shipping tax is used always when you entry any non-zero shipping amount on sales invoice. This is necessary as shipping (in contract to invoice line items) have no tax group configured in items table.
