Discount Amount

Posted By

We are a non profit and we have a conference in another country that requires a VAT, basically a tax.  We do not charge taxes on any of our other items so we do not want to set up taxes in our system.  The company in that country requires that we have a subtotal of the invoice and then a line item with the VAT amount and then a total of the entire invoice.  We had thought to use the discount amount on the Totals page of the SO Invoice Data Entry as a negative number, which works because it adds to the total, however it still shows up as a negative number on the invoice.  I can change the formula for the total of the invoice to subtract the discount amount and the total will be correct however the discount amount still shows as a negative.  I have tried several formula's in crystal reports to try and change the negative to a positive for the discount amount with no luck.  Does anyone else know of a way to accomplish the VAT showing up at the bottom of the invoice like a sales tax would but without setting up sales tax.  We can not use the Freight Amount because we use it all the time.  Another problem is I need to change the GL account number that the discount is going to but I can not find where that is set up.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I don't understand.

    You need to charge and show a tax. Timeslips has a perfectly acceptable way to do this.  But you refuse to use it.

    Instead, you are trying all sorts of convoluted ways to try and use other features in ways they were not intended.  

    What is the reasoning behind refusing to use the Tax feature?  You can set it up so that only a particular activity code/s charge the tax, so you need not suddenly have it calculating on all of your bills.

    Hope this helps.

    Just to be clear, are we talking Timeslips here?  What confuses me about your question is a few things, namely that Timeslips does not have a Freight Amount anywhere in the program by default.  Also, Timeslips  reports cannot be modified by Crystal, that would be a separate add on.  Also, Timeslips is not by itself an accounting program, although it does have a TAL link to other programs like QuickBooks and Peachtree.
