Sales/Purchases: Ability to set default tax inclusive check box preference

For many, many years now the Tax Inclusive checkbox has been causing issues with data entry. In particular it is imposssible to count the number of times someone has put a freight cost entry in without checking this flag, often entering charges that we know as an exclusive rate (say $10 ex) but the customer is then only charged $9.05 as this simple error is made.

I see two solutions for this that would work well in our situtation.

1) Have an overriding default option to have this either on or off for every new invoice (simplest).

In our situation we would always have this off, but for Retail businesses maybe it would be On.

2) In conjunction with 1, allow a Customer override to default on or off.

This would allow us to simply differentiate our Retail customers from our Trade / Business customers and in the process save us from this odd behaviour of defaulting based on the last invoice entered.

It's a simple 'Quality of Life' type improvement that would be greatly appreciated.

Absolutely!!!!  I couldn't agree more with ARRefrigeration!  It is such a shame there is not currently a setting in Preferences where we can nominate to have the Button either ticked or unticked, without it remembering what the last transaction was.  Barry_C your suggestion is good, but I would also support an overall Preference option, rather than having to nominate under each Card.

It would be helpful to have a GST inclusive or exclusive tick box in preferences for system wide default.  At the moment it only picks up on the previous entry when creating a new purchase invoice or sales invoice.  Sometimes staff have entered a whole page before relising the top GST box is ticked for that specific entry.  Or am I missing something?

Please!!!

 I NEED this option to happen and SOON! I am getting myself into so much trouble with the gst component NOT be added to invoices and would love to be able to have the default set as "exclusive" permanently. Thanks ARRefrigeration for bringing this up!

Hi Mrs_Vee

Thank you for your feedback and voting for this idea. I have shared your comments with the team

Strongly in favour of being able to set whether the default invoice generateed for a customer is GST tax inclusive vs tax exclusive. This solves exactly for our use case.

Hello Lee82

Thank you for your comments for this idea, we also strongly suggest you also vote for this idea. I have passed your feedback onto the team. 

Yes, I'd like a tick box under 'Preferences'.  My client has just come across this problem after upgrading from Premier to AR 2015 and is not happy at all.  As ARRefrigeration says, it can be the difference between making a profit and a loss.

As I sold the idea of upgrading to them on the basis that bank feeds etc would be a plus, they're not very happy.  Constant vigilance is necessary and it's a big drag when there's lots of invoicing.
