Line Charges Subtask

Use this subtask of the Manage Purchase Order Vouchers screen to enter any additional charges that need to be applied to the voucher line.

Charges such as freight, tooling, and training are a few examples. These costs become part of the total cost of this voucher line.

Line charges from the Manage Purchase Orders screen that have not already been vouchered automatically default, but can be changed if necessary.

Use this subtask when line charges are needed for a voucher line and maintain it when changes are made to existing voucher line charges.

Taxability

This field displays Sales to apply sales tax or Use to apply use or reverse tax to the selected line charge that will be added to the purchase order voucher line. The value in this field must be the same as the Sales/VAT or Use/Reverse Tax for the purchase order voucher line.

If the Taxable field is selected and this field is populated, then the Sales/VAT Tax or Use/Reverse Tax amounts are calculated, respectively.

Sales/VAT Tax Amount

Costpoint calculates the sales tax amount when the Taxability option on the main screen is set to Sales. The calculation follows: Amount times Tax Rate from the voucher line. You can change this field if necessary. You may need to change it in cases where the calculated amount and the amount from your vendor invoice differ due to rounding differences.

The total sales tax and Value Added Tax (VAT) amounts for all line charges entered displays on the main screen as the Line Charge Sales/VAT Tax Amt.

Use/Reverse Tax Amount

Costpoint calculates the use or reverse tax amount when the Taxability option on the main screen is set to Use. The calculation follows: Amount times Tax Rate from the voucher line. You can change this field if necessary. You may need to change it in cases where the calculated amount and the amount to accrue differ due to rounding differences.

The total use and reverse tax amounts for all line charges entered display on the main screen as the Line Charge Use/Reverse Tax Amt.

Total Amount

Costpoint calculates the total amount automatically; you cannot edit it. The calculation is Amount plus Tax Amount.
