Re: Entering Tax Inc prices in Misc Invoices

Sorry Gary...  This sounds like a job for a modification to the Invoice
entry program...

I would design in a function key that the user could press to pop up a
window and allow them to do exactly as you described...  Enter the total
amount for the line item and default in a tax rate that they could override
if they had to (or just store it in a table) and return the result of that
calculation back to the price field in the Misc Invoice...

I can see no other way...

Good luck...

Subject:  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
