GST not being applied ? Working as intended?
Hi all,
So I am still fiddling with OpenVPMS, we arent really planning on a working implementation to January, however I am getting some wierd behaviour regarding GST.
I added one customer/patient myself and I had a nurse add another 30 or so as a test. (She liked the entry btw compared to our existing system) however I noticed when I created some invoices for the customer I created no GST was being applied however it was for all the patients the nurse created.
When I checked the tax field I noticed I had moved GST from available to selected in the one customer I had created and the nurse had not added GST to the customers she created. Obviously the 5 products we are testing have GST added, as does the Practice. I removed GST from selected to available in the customer information and low and behold the customer had GST applied correctly. So I get how this works now but it seems like it might be reveresed from as intended?
If the GST sits in the "AVAILABLE" but not "SELECTED" should the customer have GST applied. To be fair, in Australia there is no situation I can imagine where GST would not apply.
I'm using
| Version: 1.5-beta-2 (4275) |
btw just in case
Cheers
Ben
Re: GST not being applied ? Working as intended?
Hi Ben,
Check your Practice information in Administration->Organisation. On the tax tab you should have the tax selected. This stipulates the default tax behaviour for the whole system.
As you have found out you can actually override thsi per customer as well. :-)
