Analysis Grid

Enter the analysis breakdown and GST of the invoice or credit. You can analyse an invoice or credit between many Sales Groups. GST will be analysed according to the GST code for the Sales Group, unless the customer has a GST Override Code. You can Customise (Alt+F5) in other fields, including the GL Account Code.

Code

The Sales Group code to allocate the amount on this line to. Search for a sales group using the Accredo Lookups.

Analysis Name

The name of the Sales Group code selected above.

GST Code

The default GST code for the Sales Group code specified (can be edited).

Amount

The GST exclusive amount to be analysed to the Sales Group code on this line.

GST

The GST included is calculated from the GST override in AR Customer or the default GST code for the Sales Group codes you select. See GST Line Calculations for calculation details.

Zero-rated supplies mainly apply to businesses involved in exporting. If the business is in this category, you are required to show the zero-rated supplies on the GST return and will need to select the appropriate GST code in the Sales Analysis lines. Typically, if the invoice is to an overseas customer, their GST override (and hence the GST code on all analysis lines) should be set to "0" (Zero-Rated supplies), the GST amount adjusts when this code is selected. Handling zero-rated sales in this way will ensure that the amount shows correctly in the Zero-rated supplies field in the Sales and Income section of the GST return.

You can edit the GST code for an analysis line, but if you need to do this regularly, ensure you have the appropriate GST code entered in Sales Group Code.

Inclusive

Allocating

For transactions where auto-allocate is not selected (normally Open-item customers) after entering a credit in AR, you are prompted to allocate immediately. If you do not, the transaction will be posted but remain unallocated but can be allocated later, otherwise you will be transferred to allocations. When auto-allocate is Selected (normally balance forward Customers), the transaction will be allocated and posted against the oldest outstanding balances.

Effect of the transaction

For invoices, the account balance is increased by the gross amount, the gross amount less GST is added to the month and year to date sales. The analysed amounts are added to the Sales Group Analysis and GST Analysis is updated.

Credits

For credits the account balance is reduced by the gross amount, the sales are reduced by the gross amount less GST and the analysed amounts are deducted from the Sales Group Analysis and GST totals.
