New invoicing - Make manual tax adjustment to total invoice amount

Retain the This Make manual tax adjustments from the invoice subtotal in New Invoicing. This is a feature that I use as I have to import sales figures from an external program and the VAT figure is different by a small amount But I don't want to have to alter each line on the invoice.

Can see what you're meaning here, John. I've made a slight adjustment to the title of your idea that I think might help others identify with. We'll start to feel the interest out here and let you know if there's any change planned.

    I'm dealing with this now, it's infuriating.

    If I break up the line items on a receipt, so I can categorise them properly (consumables vs equipment assets)

    the tax total is out by 1cent vs if xero/hubdoc calculates the GST on the receipts total.

    I can't submit the receipt with the tax amounts not matching (and will have to jump through hoops to sort it out)
    It's a bit silly.

    Yes, its annoying that this function has stopped. Please bring back

    This feature is crucial for those using the Margin Scheme for VAT

    All California state agencies figure sales tax for their purchase orders based on a summary system, not line by line. If I can't make my invoice mirror their purchase order, then it is rejected. I have to be able to make the sales tax adjustment feature that was available in the old/better system!

    I agree, don't take away my ability to make manual sales tax adjustments. I also import from other programs and do not need avalara (auto sales tax), I need to be able to manually adjust each line item. I keep having to switch to classic invoicing to fix the sales tax lines

    I did find a work around after getting advice from Xero Support.

    By reducing the number of lines in your invoice you can reduce the likelihood of it happening. The GST is calculated by line and when there are multiple lines it can cause the rounding problem.

    Is there any update on this query? This is still an issue and very frustrating?

  • Laura Rosenzweig commented  ·   ·  Report

    We are having the same issues. The GST is being incorrectly added by 0.01 throwing out our invoice total. Looks really stupid for an accounting firm.

  • Nicola Tufnell commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree with you all. Why have they taken this line away? How can it be a new improved invoicing when Xero have taken away a line which so many of us use? We are the same, we import a sales figure from an external program and the VAT is figure is always different, but only by a small amount but to have to alter each line would be time consuming and dull.

  • Elizabeth Ruberto commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes, pls bring back the ability to make manual adjustments on taxes. I am having this same issues, although it is a small amount, I have to go back and adjust this once I post the sales figures and see that it doesnt pick up the match with the sales deposits received. This is creating extra work and extra steps

  • Rowena Ferns commented  ·   ·  Report

    Both Xero and XPM really need to have the ability to override the GST calculated by 1c either way to fix the GST rounding errors that continually occur. This would be more efficient than having to add a Cost rounding adjustment in XPM of 1c to have it then import to Xero showing this rounding adjustment on a separate line which then needs to be altered before sending to the clients. Having to do this for hundreds of invoices is very inefficient.
