Vendor tax & Item tax

[johnhugh]

Hi, I'm using Accpac 5.6.

I'm trying to get Accpac calculate tax and witholding tax on my PO invoices.
If I enter an invoice in AP, all my tax settings under the tax tab work.
If I do a PO however, it seems to ignore my settings under the tax tab, and I have to change the tax class manually for every item detail.

Am I doing something wrong?

I don't want to define tax by line detail, just use the tax class in the header.
Tax group is set to 'calculate tax by summary'.

The item tax class always defaults to 1, so make the most commonly used item tax class number 1.
Typically I set item tax class 1 as Taxable and item tax class 2 as Non Taxable.

How have you setup your purchases vendor and item tax classes?

Thanks ettienne. My tax is set up the other way around.
1 - no tax, 2 - tax.

I thought of that option as well but was hoping I could overwrite item tax at vendor level.

Nope, item tax class always defaults to 1.
Either change your tax setup or forever change it with every PO - your choice.
