We have just purchased Quickbooks 2004, and have had a seperate programe written to handle the invoicing and stock control as we have such a huge database of stock. We are then importing the invoices into quickbooks on a simpler level generally being only a 3 line invoice rather than the 40 odd produced on our invoicing system. We have had several problems with the importing of the invoices where vat is not being calulated. Is there some way of fixing this? If we needed to import a line say, quantity 1, item: goods, cost: £100, Vat code: S, can quickbooks work out the rest of the line or does all of it need to be imported incuding the vat rate and amount? I noticed on some other sample iif invoice files (american versions) that vat (tax) was added as a last line on the invoice being directly linked to the vat control account in the chart of accounts. Is this the only way to do it? Can some one help please!!!!!!!!
