Are you referring to the 3-2 Receivable Invoices screen?

Are you intending to use lump sum contracts that have sales tax included?

I"m referring to the 3-5 screen when you look at the contract summary button. We process invoices against a job that have sales tax which is included in the original /new contract amount. However, sales tax is not included in the Invoiced to Date field so it appears that the contract has not been paid in full; but it has. When you look at the "invoices" button, invoices will equal the original/new contract amount because they reflect the amount with sales tax. With this discrepancy, it also shows up on other reports that make the job look like it has not been billed completely.

We exclude tax in the Contract Amount field. In the notes, we put "contract amt inc tax $xxx" so that anyone looking in the 3-5 screen can see both amounts. You don't want WIP calculating on the taxed amount is it beneficial to put the pretax amount in the Contract Amt field.

When you use tax feature sage only books the pretax amount to sales but the entire amount to AR and to invoices to date. I don't understand why you would book the net as the original contract amount when it really isn't.
Are you confusing that with budget?
