VAT- and accounting information

You divide the products into groups using the VAT and accounting group field in the Product table, while in the Associate table you can refer customers/suppliers to Account set cust./ Account set sup..

As Business NXT operates with only one VAT and accounting group per product, you can create account sets by customer/supplier. This enables you to post to other accounts. You can override the fields while orders and purchases are being entered. When you enter an order line in an order Business NXT searches for a row in the VAT- and accounting information table containing the VAT and accounting group for the product and the Account set cust./ Account set sup. for the associate.

If one or both fields are not filled in for either product/customer/supplier or order/purchase order, the Default VAT and accounting group and/or Default account set from the Company information table is used.

The Default VAT and accounting group and Default account set will correspondingly be used as a reference if no row is registered for the current combination of VAT- and accounting group/Account set in the VAT- and accounting information table.

The Area field in the order head, suggested by the customer / supplier, determines which of the account references for taxable, non-taxable domestic, EU and export / import are to be used in connection with sales, discounts, additions, special taxes and purchases in the VAT- and accounting information table. If the product is not taxable and the associate is domestic, the account references for non-taxable sales / purchases are used regardless.
