How to enter a GST-only component onto a supplier invoice (customs, freight or imports)

KB242

Process

Below are the steps to add a GST-only line to a supplier invoice (e.g. for a GST freight invoice).

  1. Enter a line onto the supplier invoice and use the item code GLAccount (you can also use any non-stock item code such as MISC, SUNDRY or you could create a new item called GSTFREIGHT)
  2. Enter the item description
  3. Enter the quantity (this would generally be 1, but you can add any number you need)
  4. Zero the cost price
  5. Enter the tax amount

Your supplier invoice will now have a line that has a tax component with nothing else. When updated, the GST will be posted to GST Credits to be claimed.
