GST / VAT posting to GL for reporting and for sales invoices

Tristan Blattman
Hi,

                I'm implementing an Australian install, and having trouble
with getting GST working.

We aren't using the ecommerce module, so don't need GST for the storefront
app, just for sales invoicing from the management tools.

 

All the invoices I've been able to generate so far are showing only the
total excl tax, even though the product (catalog entry) is flagged as
taxable and the invoice item line is set to taxable.

The line items on the invoices have the Tax Auth Party, Tax Auth Geo ID and
Tax Auth Rate Seq Id fields blank when new items are added.

 

I've set up the Tax Authority for Geo Id =AUS

GL Account is set to 224100, with Organization Party set to Company      

And I've created a tax rate product:

Type: Sales Tax

Store ID:

Category:

Title Transfer:

Min Item Price: 0

Min Purchase: 0

Tax Shipping: Y

Tax Percentage: 10

Tax Promotions: Y

From date:          2000-07-01 00:00:00.000

Thru date:

Description: 10% GST

 

The customer's addresses are all in Australia, as are our Company addresses.

 

I noticed on the demo site (some time last week) that the sample invoices
had sales tax line items on the applicable invoices (Utah Taxman etc), but
when I checked the associated GL account on there was no tax recorded in
there. Shouldn't these lines be auto-posting to the GL also?

 

Any advice or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

                Tristan

Hi Tristan

I'm based in NZ so have got a real interest in what you're doing since it applies here too!

I would say that you should beware of the demo data as far the GL postings are concerned - as they are not there. For example you will see a demo invoice but there will be no corresponding GL entries behind it. To get the real GL entries on the Hotwax demo you will need to create an order from scratch and push it through the system to the invoicing stage.

I did have a go a few months ago at setting up a draft OFBiz configuration for NZ and managed to get it configured to include the GST on the Sales Orders and Invoices. The GL postings were OK too.

What version of OFBiz are you using? I'd be keen to have a go a doing it again with the latest version of OFBiz and give you some feedback if you want.

Thanks
Sharan

Thanks Sharan!

I'm using the Trunk version from 29th Dec 08.

I'm not sure of the version#, I downloaded as current and the file isn't on
the archive list.

Cheers,
        Tristan

Quick answer: did you put "Show prices with VAT tax included" on in your store ?

Hi Tristan

I've been doing some testing today using trunk 755368 and I've got the GST set up and calculating OK on the Sales Invoices but have an issue with the postings to the GL. I want to do a bit more testing with the Hotwax Demo first but havent been able to do that today because some of the demo data seems to be missing.

I've got a bit of an idea about what your problem could be. Let me just describe what I think you are doing and then you can confirm whether I'm correct or not.

My assumptions about what you've been doing
1. You are not using OFBiz e-commerce at all
2. You are not using OFBiz order entry at all
3. You've setup a party for your Tax Authority and you have also created a new Tax Authority under the Tax Authority sub menu in Accounting Manager

4. At the moment all you've been doing is using the Invoices Sub menu in Accounting Manager to create Sales Invoices.
5. When you create the Sales Invoices you then add the invoice lines where you input the following details:
     Invoice item type (eg Invoice Item Finished Good etc)
     Description
     Override GL Account Id
     Product Id (from your product catalog)
     Quantity

6. When you view the invoice, the taxable flag for the product line is set to 'Y' and the tax authority fields are blank

7. Your problem is that there are no calculations for GST being performed and there's no tax appearing on your Sales Invoices. Also there are no tax amounts  posted to the General Ledger.

Let me know if this describes more or less you've been doing and the problems you're having.

If it doesnt then if you could provide a clear step by step guide of your process (similar to what I've done above) it will help me to understand things a bit more.

Thanks
Sharan

RE: GST / VAT posting to GL for reporting and for sales invoices

Tristan Blattman
You're exactly spot on!

I've been playing around with the invoicing today, and when I tried adding
the GST manually, some unusual totals came up. (I've attached the PDF)

Basically, it appears to have totalled the manually added sales tax as a
line item, but then added that as sales tax separately again on top of that.
