Hi @Maxwell_au 

Thank you for your post. GST report amounts are based off the account code rather than the transaction type. When looking at the GST report, you will notice that the figures in the report are pulled from transactions based on the account codes. This is a change from Essentials which used the transaction type to determine where on the GST report the figures appear. This can give you the impression that some transaction lines aren’t pulling through to the Sale or Purchase amounts on the report. This is by design, as the software uses the account codes to determine which side of the GST report the figure should be included in.

Ahh, so what the suggest help articles say in essence is that the prefill only does half a job and you still need to run the GST reports and manually fill in the rest of the details. Essentially the prefil is a nothing feature.
