Unfortunately I've already tried that mate. I've obviously tried every option I can find. 


As soon as you create a Purchase Order it reduces the price you input by 10% down from $72.01 to $65.46.

Hi Sconners, 

 

Sounds like you've been wrestling with this inventory amount for a while now. In AccountRight, the Standard Cost field is always treated as GST inclusive, so your $72.01 drops to $65.46 when the purchase is ex‑GST.

To stop that happening, you can either:

  • Enter the inc‑GST price as the Standard Cost, or
  • turn off Setup > Preferences > Inventory > “Use Standard Cost as the Default Price on Purchase Orders and Bills” and just type the ex‑GST price you want on the PO.

There’s definitely room for improvement there.
