API - GST Rounding Supplier invoices / Bills

We are having issues with adding GST exclusive Supplier invoices / Bills through the API.

 

Often an invoice from a supplier calculates the GST different to MYOB and there is a 1 cent difference - within MYOB you can manually change the invoice / GST by one cent and fix but with imports the GST is calculated during the import.

 

Is there any way we can handle this so that we can get the correct invoice total into MYOB - at present the API calculates the GST and these need to be edited in MYOB.

 

Note we realise we could import as GST inclusive but our client is used to seeing invoices as GST exclusive and we would like to keep this.

    Hi Don,

     

    Thanks for reaching out. GST is calculated on a line by line basis which starts at the top and works its way down. GST is also calculated on each item rather than on the total amount. This means in some cases GST rounds up or down on a transaction line when it is divided between each item.

     

    Unfortunately, there is no way to edit this via the API. The only way would be to go into the invoice and manually edit the tax amount.
