Balance a PO-based invoice with supplier charged tax

The following steps describe how to balance a PO-based invoice with supplier charged tax.

You can override the original values of an invoice if the taxes charged by the supplier are different from what was recorded on the invoice. The following example shows how to modify an invoice that has a 46.88 tax amount on a tax base amount of 796.88 but the tax the supplier charged is 50.00.
  1. Modify the amount to 50.00, and change the tax base amount to 750.00 to balance out the difference.
    You will get a warning that the tax entered is incorrect.
  2. Press Enter.
  3. Review the balance screen.
    The excess tax is now assigned to a separate G/L account.
  4. Click Post.
    You will get a warning that the tax entered is incorrect.
  5. Press Enter.
    Take note of the document number for your records and review the audited transaction.
