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

Even though you may have set up one or more combinations to handle import GST, you must set up at least one GST 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 Input Tax Credit Account field on the GST posting setup line.

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

To correct GST

  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 GST 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.
