Edit GST amount

[Mlihou57]

I go to Woolworths and buy Gel Pens for the office and Milk for the tea room.

There is GST on the Gel Pens but not on the Milk. 

It is easy to enter these amounts separately with GST and FRE as tax codes.

BUT what if I buy 40 items, some with GST and some FRE?

WHY CAN'T I EDIT THE GST ON THE PURCHASE? 

The MYOB app is so simplied it ends up making book keeping MORE complicated.

Can someone please fix this basic error.

Hi @Mlihou57 

In the situation you have described, I look at the amount of GST shown on your invoice that is included in the total and multiply that by 11 and enter this amount (GST inclusive) with the GST tax code.

The balance of the amount is recorded with the FRE (or N-T as the case may be) GST code.

This is the accepted accounting method for this situation.  Trying to simply edit the GST amount is not the preferred method.

Hope that helps.

Hi, @Mlihou57

Thanks for your post.

If you wish to create transactions with different tax codes, you can do so by doing it manually. To do this, you can create a transaction > Purchases > Create Bill > Select the Item ID. On the Tax code column, you can always change it. Please see the screenshot below for reference.

If this still doesn't work, kindly send us a screenshot of the window where you can't edit the purchase GST.

Best regards,

Doreen
