GST Code

The GST code associated with this Expense code. This GST code is used on AP Invoices and Credits if there is no GST override for the Creditor. New Expense codes added will use the default GST code unless overwritten. GST codes available are restricted by the GST code filter.

GL Account

The GL Account the analysis amounts are transferred to. The GL Account is debited with the total for the Expense code for each Invoice and Credited for each Credit. We recommend not entering a GL Account number for the unspecified expense dissection. Leaving the GL Account number blank forces you to check for unspecified expenses before you can transfer from AP to the GL.
