Check GST Payable and GST Credit Utility

This utility checks the GST Payable and GST Credit amounts of your stock items against their assigned tax groups, to make sure they are charging the correct amount of tax. It can be necessary to run this utility if you have recently moved items between tax groups - e.g. made some items GST free.

1. From the Main Screen of Retailer, click on the Utilities-> Check GST Payable and GST Credit
2. Select either all departments or just the department which contains the items you wish to check. You can also select a specific category as well.
   
3. Click Check GST Payable and GST Credit to begin checking items. This may take a while if you have a lot of stock items.
   
4. A list of all items with incorrect GST amounts will be shown. On the left are the current amounts, with the incorrect values coloured in pink. In grey on the right are the correct values.
   
5. If for whatever reason you think the values on the right need to be changed, you can click into these fields and enter whatever amounts you desire.
6. Click Save New GST Payable and GST Credit to update your products with the new values, then Close to exit the utility.
   

You may see items listed where the old GST values and new GST values look the same - this is normal, and is usually caused by rounding. The prices are actually different by a fraction of a cent.
