Question

Tax code was not set up so tax was not recorded. I set up GST and would like to reclassify eligible transactions, however transactions are now set to out of scope.

Hi there, 


I want to make sure you're able to edit your existing transactions with your new GST tax code. Don't worry, you've come to the right place for help.

 

The steps for editing your existing transactions will be different depending on whether it's an Invoice or Sales Receipt. Since Sales Receipts also account for a received payment, these will have to be deleted and re-created in order to change the associated tax code. 

 

To delete an existing Sales Receipt, follow these steps:

 

1. Click the Sales tab on the left navigation menu. 

2. Click All Sales.

3. Click on your Sales Receipt

4. At the bottom of the page, click More.

5. Click Delete.


When you re-create your Sales Receipt, ensure all the information remains the same, particularly the date. Select your new Sales Tax GST. 

 

If you need to edit invoice transactions, simply locate your invoice from the All Sales menu, and edit the tax code column manually. If your invoice has a payment attached to it already, this will have to be removed in order for the invoice to be edited. 

To delete a payment on an invoice, follow these steps: 

 

1. Click the Sales tab on the left navigation menu.

2. Select All Sales

3. Locate your invoice and open it.

4. Click the blue link at the top of your invoice that says "1 payment made".

5. Select More at the bottom of the page.

6. Click Delete

 

Once the payment is deleted, you can edit the Sales Tax selection on your invoice. Then, re-record your payment.

 

That's all there is to it. I hope this helps you get back on track. If you have any other questions, or if I haven't quite hit the mark in my response, please don't hesitate to reach back out.

 

Have a great day.

Thanks for replying. What I’m looking for is a bulk reclassification because there are eleven months of transactions. (Sorry, not enough room to post in the original post) When I try to reclassify the tax code it can’t because it says all transactions are of scope.

Sorry, meant out of scope.
