Spend Money: Use supplier' tax code as default

You can set up your suppplier within their card with their gst registration code Eg:  GST or FRE.  This then defaults when doing a purchase however if you pay that supplier through spend money you have to change the code rather than it changing by default.  It would be great if this worked in both areas and would result in less errors being made in the coding.

I have noticed that if I have ticked "Use suppliers tax code" in the buying details tab of a supplier card that the chart of account override only works if using the purchase register.

For a smaller company who enters most expenses through Spend Money this feature does not work. It would be great if you have selected the option to use a suppliers tax code that it works within spend money, enter purchases and recive money.

A bit from left field but I think I would calling any GNR supplier just that. e.g. Fred Smith GNR.

Thanks Ron. We have done this with some of our supplier cards, but it still doesnt change the fact that we still have to go into each of these transactions and change the line to GNR. 

We dont understand why MYOB cant just pick up the tax code from the Supplier Card, in the Spend Money function?

From what we have been told, the only way it picks up the Supplier Card tax code is by entering the information vai "Purchases" which will make more work for us, I dont believe it has the option to enter transactions via Purchases when using bank feeds. 

Its frustrating. 

Hello Dinah,

I agree that where a card is used for a Spend Money or a Receive Money transaction then the Card Default Tax code should be used.

However what i do with clients with the same issue as you is to have 2 incone accounts setup.

one is 4-xx10 named SubContractors (GST) with a tax code of GST

the other 4-xx2 named Subcontractors (NRG) with a tax code NRG.

I always change the MYOB Default GNR code name  to NRG Not Registered for GST because most of the time when you hit the "G" key you want GST to appear not GNR which you then have to overtype - extra key strokes are what i like to avoid!!!

when you are doing the Spend Money just select the correct income account code depending on whether they are registered for GST or Not Registered.

Cheers

I do not have many cash basis customers and I've only just discovered this 'as planned' feature after 25 years.  

I put one of my new clients wrong by advising her to use the Tax Code on the card, only to discover that it didn't work and she had two years' transactions to change because she wasn't watching what she was doing.   (As a note:  She was doing back posting to start her new system from scratch, so it wasn't something we didn't pick up while doing the GST.)  

I definitely don't want two accounts, one with tax and one without, and I don't want to have to name the card either, as that is also prone to entry error.

A good system works 'by exception' so that only the occasional change has to be made to the default, not every change.  

I vote for the foolproof "Use Customer or Supplier GST Code" to pull through the whole system.

9 months since original post and still this is happening..

I would like MYOB to pick the information up off the supplier card, as when you run business accounts the last thing that you need is to be remembering who is registered for gst and who isnt. You take the time to set up the supplier card this is what should be used for the tax code not the account.

This is also happening to me when I am entering a reportable payment for end of year(construction company) and I have set the suppliers card up by ticking the box however when you enter the detail into spent money it is not ticked.

Please fix this soon as myob is slow enought since updating to 19 that this is the icing on the cake going back in changing tax code and ticking reportable payment

I feel that if you dont fix it there are going to be many business who's bookkeeper dont look at this sort of thing in a lot of trouble claiming gst on payment that are gst free

Hi helpmeplease

Hi Steven,

Any news about this? 

Again a simple change that people have been asking for for a long time that would make our workflow smoother and more accurate.
