Hello guys,
If you need to be able to enter the tax yourself, then use Supplier Invoice in the right pane. Set the supplier to be tax exempt (a tax group with no taxes).
Select the rows to be invoiced.
Then use the GL items at the bottom to enter your Purchase tax.
And save the invoice. That's it.
If you need to enter both Import tax (outgoing) and pucrhase tax (ingoing) then you should create a Quick Entry like this:
Call it Import.
Select Supplier Invoice/Credit type.
Say your Sales tax is 23% and your Import Tax account is 2151 and Purchase Tax account is 2150.
Then these two quick entry rows should be set:
% amount of base 2151 Import Tax -23.00
% amount of base 2150 Purchase Tax 23.00
Let us say you have items for $1000.
Then select the Import quick entry and enter the amount of 1000.
Now the import and sales tax rows are automaticly calculated.
Instead of using quick entries you could also enter these lines directly in the GL Items. Save the Invoice.
That should do it.
This operation for using the Supplier Invoice on the right pane will require a Direct GRN before the Supplier Invoice, but you can freely enter your tax amount.
