Invoice Templates If you are unsure about modifying invoice templates please call the office. Remember that if you print an incorrect invoice it will create a lot of work reversing the database We are aware certain customers may have hard coded the value 15.00 into their invoice templates we would suggest that in this case you open the template and locate the text 15.0 For .rtm style invoices:-
modify the text as illustrated below and replace it with a report variable VAT_RATE . This will eliminate having to modify the template should the rate change in the future
For .tx style invoices:-
modify the text as illustrated below and replace it with a report variable VAT_RATE . This will eliminate having to modify the template should the rate change in the future
Additional steps for Version 302/303 Users Only :- Supplier VAT Rates The latest download of 303 negates the need for the change of rate in the Supplier Table but it is included below for anyone who is unable to download the latest build before the VAT rate change. The Supplier Table holds a individual supplier VAT Code and VAT Rate. You will need to perform a simple Global Change on the supplier.adt table to change the 15.00 to be 17.500 as illustrated below. Please do not forget the trailing .500 after the decimal point.
