Accounting: Unable To Use Separate GLAs For Combined Tax Codes

For accounts payable tax codes in provinces with a PST/GST structure, the system combines the GST and PST tax rates into a harmonized rate. This results in the combined tax amount posting to a single General Ledger Account (GLA). To post tax values to separate GLAs, the net value and tax value fields on the transaction line must be amended manually. If the tax value is not updated, the system will recalculate it based on the new net value.

Release Version
Symptoms
  • For accounts payable tax codes in provinces with a PST/GST structure, the normal step would be to build a GST Tax Code and a PST Tax Code with their respective rates and then the system combines them. The issue is that the combined tax codes share the same GLA. Is there a way to have the system create transaction lines for each tax code, as they need to go to separate GLAs in certain provinces?
Resolution
  • The system is working as designed combining the GST and PST tax rate to create a harmonized rate (HST). For provinces where the tax values needs to be posted to a different GLAs, amend the net value and tax value fields to the required values. 

Note: If you do not update the tax value, the system will recalculate it based on the new net value.
