Have a customised invoice where I have item, item price, GST, and total amount (Price + GST) columns.

Trying to figure out a way so that the Price and total amount do not both have the same amount listed, at the moment, this is what is happening;

Item                 Price              GST                 Total amount
Product                 110.00                 10.00                      110.00

What I want to happen is that the price does not include GST, like this;

Item                 Price              GST                 Total amount
Product                 100.00                 10.00                      110.00

Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction? I've tried making it so that the sales figures are set to net rather than gross as well as a few other things.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks! :)

    Hi Lachlan,

    When it comes to how figures are displayed there are only 2 options.  Either "Amounts include tax" is ticked, in which case everything shows in Gross amounts, or "Amounts include tax" is not ticked, in which case everything shows in Net amounts.

    Here is how it looks with it ticked:


    Here is how it looks with out it ticked:


    To have the Amounts inclue tax box always ticked set your tax preferneces to Gross.  To have it always unticked have your tax preferences set to Net.

    Select the option that best suites you and go with that.

    Regards,
    Shane.

    Hi Lachlan,

    So the things I would look for would be in your tax preferences the sales figures being set to net, in the invoice screen checking whether the amounts include tax button is ticked at the bottom of the screen, then I would also try a different template to see if that template is corrupt and check the actual item setup to see if amounts include tax is ticked there.

    If you need any further assistance please do not hesitate to email me directly at sally@samsolutions.com.au.

    Kind regards,

    Sally

    Hi everyone. Is it correct to interpret from the replies that Lachlan's objective is not achievable?  That is what I would like to do also....

    Hi Benjamin,

    That is correct, it is not possible to have the columns show a mix of net and gross.  You can only show either net or gross.

    Regards,
    Shane.

    Thanks for your prompt reply. I guess it is a question of opinion: you describe the request as a mix of net and gross whereas I describe the request as clearly stating the net and gross amounts separately so as to avoid the confusion that my clients have been demonstrating for a couple of years.
    They read the "amount" column figure and then pay that.  Rather than reading the total amount below and pay that.
    Not having this functionality prevents making it clear and unambiguous.
    Can I therefore submit this as a feature request?

    Hi Shane, Just wondering if you were able to advise if the above feature is now available in any of the Reckon products?
    Thank you,
