Can't copy invoices as starting poing after VAT deregistration

Bug
1

Hi QF team - for my regular clients I often use a previous invoice as a starting point, as the value and details will often be the same.. it used to be very simple to copy, tweak date and send.

However having de-registered for VAT, freshly made copies still show a VAT amount and VAT inc total, with no way to remove it. The invoice gives an error if I try to save it.. so I need to copy details manually via notepad.

This is presumably an oversight, due to not being common circumstances? Once de-registered, with all details removed in settings, a new copy of an invoice should surely retain all details but ignore previous VAT related fields?

Many Thanks,

A.

Hi @AndyLon,
I have had the same issue when copying from an old VAT invoice after VAT deregistration.

You said that you are unable to remove the VAT element in the copied invoice; however if you go to your “Company Settings” and re-engage that you’re VAT registered, you should find that the VAT elements can then be amended out of the copied invoice.

Remember to return to “Company Settings” and turn off VAT registered after doing the fix.
