Invoice: Round GST on subtotal only rather than line-by-line
This is based on an actual example.
I had an invoice for around $15000 which consisted of around 10 line items. It appears Xero calculates GST per line item which is rounded (which is fine) and then for the total at the bottom appears to add up the rounded line items. What this meant in my case was that the GST total was 1 cent out where on my invoice it showed $2037.59 and on the purchase order I had it was $2037.58. The latter was the correct amount. What this meant was that this was enough for a big corporate (Downer) to not pay the invoice. It ended up being a big chase around to finally get paid a month later. Because GST is not editable I had to nil value all the line items and put in a new line item with the aggregates.
This is totally unnecessary. The total GST should be showing correct. A work around would be that Xero displays each GST line item to 2 decimals, but for adding purposes it uses a non rounded number.
