Entering Tax Inc prices in Misc Invoices

We have cash vans on the road calling into customers.
The van driver will negotiate a price for a product (including tax) with the
customer.
The van driver writes the product and including tax value on his cash sale
docket.
The docket comes back to head office to be keyed into the JBA  SYS21 via Misc
Invoice with stock update (15/OEP).

At the moment before processing each docket the order processing people have to
sit down with a calculator and manually calculate the ex tax price so that they
can enter that into the system.

They would like to be able to key the including tax price in and the system
automatically split it into the Ex tax price + tax ('After all, is not the AS400
just a big calculator' was one comment we got).

We can not use a price list as these are essentially cash sales and most
customers will not have an account set-up and the van driver is getting as much
as he can for the product, so for the same product he might sell to one customer
for $15 and the next customer he sells for $20.

All products are setup on the Item master file with the appropriate tax code.

We are on v3.5.2b service pack 2

Any ideas on how we can meet the order processing depts request gratefully
accepted.

Thanks,
Gary Brown
