I’m helping a Canadian client with a new company that is using JobCost. They are still in the testing phase.

I am ignorant when it comes to tax on the AP side, being in the US.

They have 5% GST tax and when they enter a “Purchase” type item on an invoice in AP to a GST-taxable vendor, it automatically adds the GST tax (there seems to be something about filling in the Distribution code). However, even on the same invoice, when they enter a “Job Cost” type item, it doesn’t add the GST tax at all.

What am I missing?

I might add that when they enter a job-related PO in PurchaseOrders that has GST, it DOES add GST to the PO amount. When they turn the PO into a receipt and run PO day-end, the GST flows through to the AP invoice batch but does NOT flow through to JobCost (which is good).

Thanks

Steve
