Tax Codes

Expand

The Service Provider can create different Tax Codes which can be applied when working with Projects and Customer Invoices.

Multiple Tax Codes can be configured. Once configured they will be available on the Projects and Customer Invoice pages as a drop-down menu:

Expand
titleConfigure Tax Codes


FieldDescription
Default

Select the Tax Code that you want to be the default for all Projects and Sales Invoices. The default setting does not fix the Tax Code, it can be changed on a Project or Sales Invoice as required. Only one Tax Code can be the default.

Name

This is the type of tax (for example, VAT) and is the column heading of the tax code list when processing a Sales Invoice.

CodeThis is the Tax Code prefix (for example, VAT20)
DescriptionThis should be a short description to make the Tax Code easy for the Administrator to identify (for example, VAT Exempt).
PercentThis is the tax percentage value (for example '20' if the VAT percentage is 20%).
Valid from

This is the date you want the tax code to be valid from.

Valid to

Exchange Rates

Expand

This is where the Service Provider can configure exchange rates from GBP to another currency. When configuring a Customer or Supplier in the system, the Service Provider sets the currency used in their view of the system, and the exchange rate set here applies to that currency. (See Customers and Suppliers for details on how they are configured).


Expand
titleConfigure Exchange Rates

Create a new exchange rate:

  1. Click the Add New button.
  2. Select a currency from the Currency drop-down list.
  3. Enter the exchange rate.
  4. Select a Start Date and End Date.
  5. Click the Save button.

Update an existing exchange rate:

Generally speaking, updating the currency is based on adding a new exchange rate to the system instead of editing the existing one.

  1. Click the Add New button
  2. Select a currency from the Currency drop-down list
  3. Enter the future exchange rate 
  4. Select a Start Date and End Date
  5. Click the Save button


Note

If you update the currency with a future Start Date then this new currency will show on the system starting from that date.

System exchange rates set here are 'hard coded' and are not updated automatically. Therefore it is very important for the Administrator to keep them up-to-date for Customers and Suppliers.

Business Unit

Expand

A Service Provider organisation may be split into different Business Units (also known as departments, divisions or functional areas). If so, the Service Provider can configure different Business Units here that can then be assigned to administer different Customers. This is done when configuring Customer details (see Customers). 


Expand
titleConfigure Business Units

Create a new Business Unit:

  1. Click the Add another Business Unit button.

  2. Enter the Ref (reference), Description and VAT Number for the Business Unit.

  3. Enter the text {Sequence} in the Credit Note, Invoice and Supplier PO fields.

  4. Enter a prefix for the Credit Note, Invoice and Supplier PO as required (for example, the 'PO:' prefix for Supplier PO numbers).

  5. Click the Save button.


Warning
title{sequence}

The text {Sequence} must be entered in the Credit Note, Invoice and Supplier PO fields as it maps to the Credit Note, Invoice and Supplier PO numbers in the system database. If {Sequence} is not entered in the field, a number will not be generated when processing a Credit Note, Invoice or Supplier PO. Prefixes such as 'PO:' are optional.
