General
Tax Code Validations:
In an effort to continue to ensure the integrity of the data that is exported to our client’s financial systems and to ensure the correct use of Tax codes for non-zero GST and Zero-GST Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable transactions we have introduced validation rules and two new control parameters that will assist on this process.
Control parameters:GST Type for No GST Supplier
GST Type for No GST Client
On AP Invoices, AP Credits, and Subcontract Claims:
if the supplier is flagged to not Use GST, then the system will default the GST Code on every line to the 'GST Type for No GST Supplier' Control parameter value, otherwise, it will default to the GST Type on the Activity.
if a line has zero GST value, then the system will validate that the GST Type specified has a zero GST rate. An error message will be displayed if this is not correct.
if a line has non-zero GST value, then the system will validate that the GST Type specified has a non-zero GST rate. An error message will be displayed if this is not correct.
On AR Invoices, AP Credits, and Contract Claims:
if the client is flagged to not Use GST, then the system will default the GST Code on every line to the 'GST Type for No GST Client' Control parameter value, otherwise, it will default to the GST Type on the Sales Code
if a line has zero GST value, then the system will validate that the GST Type specified has a zero GST rate. An error message will be displayed if this is not correct.
if a line has non-zero GST value, then the system will validate that the GST Type specified has a non-zero GST rate. An error message will be displayed if this is not correct.
