Hi
I submitted an invoice to a client (Inv. #2948 in my account), and my client pointed out that the VAT on VAT on £12,598.38 is showing as £2,499.93 but should be £2,519.68.
To track the error, I copied the invoice (Inv #2956 in my account), and discovered that Quickfile has made an error in the VAT calculation. I have saved this invoice so that tech support can examine it.
Attached is a screenshot showing the error.
Kind regards
Murray
On further inspection, I suspect that this is a PICNIC error (problem in chair not in computer), because 0.25 is also the quantity, so it seems that I might have overwritten the VAT amount.
Slightly concerning that Quickfile allows this without any kind of warning or error message. I’ve discovered that you can put any amount into the VAT column and Quickfile will happily accept the error, misrepresenting the VAT calculation with no problem at all.
If the amount entered is different from the amount calculated, shouldn’t Quickfile flag this up?
Hello @murrayzz1
The net and vat totals are worked out by cost * Qty to get gross then it looks at the vat rate to do the net/vat split.
The ability to overwrite the vat amount is for flexibility based on customer feedback.
… but it might be worth considering a subtle warning of some sort if the entered value is significantly out from the calculated one - not refusing the entry but maybe putting a yellow background or 
icon or similar in the VAT amount box on the editing form.
I have passed on the request to the development team for consideration.
I agree a warning would be a good idea.
Thank you for your feedback
