You can make corrections to already posted Tax entries and change the total sales or purchase Tax amounts without changing the Tax base. You may need to do this, for example, if you receive an invoice from a vendor that has calculated Tax incorrectly.

Even though you may have set up one or more combinations to handle import Tax, you must set up at least one Tax product posting group code. For example, you can name it CORRECT for correction purposes, unless you can use the same general ledger account in the Purchase Tax Account field on the Tax posting setup line.

For more information, see How to: Set Up Codes for Import Tax.

To correct Tax

  1. In the Search box, enter General Journal, and then choose the related link.

  2. In the General Journal window, fill in a journal line for the correction. Enter the corrective amount in the Amount field. Note that the Tax Base Amount field remains 0.00.

    Note
    You cannot enter anything in the field. The base amount fields are not included in the standard layout, but they can be inserted by the system administrator.

  3. On the Home tab, choose Post to post the journal.
