We have Acumatica set up the capture GST & PST (here in British Columbia). It’s nice that it (usually) calculates both taxes correctly. But, we’re not a PST collector, only a payer so we do not need to track PST, nor do we need to submit it to any tax authority.
The problem comes whenever I analyze an expense account where we’ve paid PST on invoices. Every line in the ledger has a second amount and the detail on that line just says “PST”. Here is an example where this becomes a huge problem.
We have about a dozen software licenses and many are billed monthly. At the end of the year I get asked the question; “how much did we spend on each piece of software”. Normally I’d just run a ledger inquiry and then total based on something in the description. But instead I have to add additional information and “code” all of the PST lines so I can group them with each piece of software.
Is there a way we can configure Acumatica to add the PST to the expense line as it posts to the journal table?
Alternatively we could turn off the PST functionality and manually pick up the cost of each invoice but then the GST would calculate incorrectly and we’d loose important functionality on that side.
Thoughts?
