Sales Invoice - Allow sales tax codes against expense account selection
We have a customer that is billed for direct expenses incurred for travel to their site.
We code the sale to offset the expense, but the tax code doesn't use the default as set against the customer (zero rated income), instead, because we have selected an expense account, it uses the expense account tax rate (zero rated expense, or 20% VAT on expense).
Left as it is, it is in the wrong box on the VAT return (our external accountants have picked this up recently).
The only way to correct this at the moment is by using 'find and recode' - but this is not ideal, as when you have several invoices in process, plus they have to wait for approval internally, by the time they are approved it is easy to forget to have to go and 'find and recode'.
Please can this be reviewed so that the default in the customer account is always used, regardless as to whether you select an expense account etc.
