Include VAT/GST/tax in the total costs of a PO

Would it be possible to see VAT included in the total costs section on a purchase order?
I know that VAT is visible on the individual item line, but find that it’s quite easily missed especially when some items on a PO might have added VAT and others might be no added VAT.

At present we can see the Total Items Value, Total Additional Costs Value and Total Value. All of which is great, but would it be possible to add a section ‘Total VAT’ and include that in the Total Value section?

I think it would also be massively helpful if when adding an item to a PO, you had the option to add or remove VAT before it goes onto the PO. In some instances, the supplier is set up to add VAT, but some products they sell are no added VAT, if you then put in a PO, every item linked to that supplier adds VAT, but you don’t find out until after the item has been added to the PO.
If it was possible to add that feature to the item int he section before it is added to the PO it think it would save a lot of time.

Thanks for your help!
Lorin.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I’m linking this with View VAT on inventory receipt page, as there’s some overlap between the two. If anyone else would like to see this, please give this thread vote.


I think this is a misunderstanding. VAT-able (or not) isn’t set on a per-supplier basis, it’s set on the “supplier stock item”, so you can already vary which items from a given supplier have VAT and which do not. If an item is having VAT added when it shouldn’t be, please go the the stock item in question, then the Suppliers tab. From here you can manage how you buy the item from each supplier and set the applicable VAT rate. If you have any trouble with this, please let us know :+1:

We’ll still keep the feature request open, as this would be a great addition regardless. Cheers.

I know you linked this topic but I would like to re-open (Matt from Breww support suggested to put a feature request).

In short, all our quotations from suppliers are mostly VAT-INC.
When we raise POs, we need to have the team doing math (not that is very difficult, it’s just really prone to errors and input wrong COGs).

Also suppliers get confused when their quotation and our PO is not matching values.

Having VAT in POs (exactly same how SOs look), Total value vat-ex, total vat (based on suppliers VAT, and Total Value payable.

Thank you!

Thanks, Richard. The best thing you to do to tell us that you’d like a feature request implemented is to vote for it. This will be recorded in our reports, whereas a comment won’t push a request up the priority list.
