We were able to enter a batch purchase ledger invoice where the net and VAT were the same amount. There need to be controls so that this is impossible. The VAT code should determine the parameters but currently you can overwrite anything. For VAT there need to be some more controls.
Our school is extremely frustrated by the noticeable lack of progress on feature requests within this portal. Many highly requested enhancements have remained unaddressed for years, despite ongoing demand from users. This prolonged lack of development has led to growing dissatisfaction and concerns about whether customer feedback is being adequately considered in the product roadmap.
If other users share these concerns and would be interested in establishing an independent forum to discuss common issues, priorities, and collective engagement with the provider, please feel free to contact me directly at d.moss@hamptonschool.org.uk.
This is a useful feature though, when processing VAT partial exemption adjustments and year end adjustments etc., otherwise there is currently no way of posting these (as journals do not include VAT amounts). These need to be posted as an 'invoice' or 'credit note' using the standard VAT code, but with no net value to capture them in the correct boxes on the VAT return. I'm not sure how you'd process it otherwise.
There are system tolerance settings though, to alert you to the fact that you're amending the VAT.
