Sub-Contractor Accessory - Transaction Entry

Separate menu options are used for entering sub-contractor invoices, credit notes and adjustments.If you use the wrong invoice entry option you are warned accordingly. The layout for a sub-contractor invoice differs from a standard layout in that you enter one analysis line per screen at a time (although up to 96 lines are still allowed) with extra inputs for discount, retention and income tax aspects.

After entering the goods amount for the analysis line the system moves to the extra items available for sub-contractor invoice entry.

Discount

Enter here the agreed discount percentage, and the discount to be calculated. If you leave the rate as 0 you can still enter a discount amount.

Retention

In the construction, and other, industry it is common to withhold a percentage of the invoice value for a period of (say) six months, to be finally paid, once any defects in the work that may show up in that period have been made good. Enter here the date at which any retained amount becomes due to be paid, and the percentage of the discounted line value that is to be withheld.You may enter a 0 percentage and then enter the actual retained value as an alternative.

Tax

This is the income tax calculated at the standard rate, if there is no valid certificate in force.The items are marked n/a if a certificate is valid. The system only defaults the tax deduction rate, if the analysis line is entered against a nominal code flagged for ‘labour’ analysis, otherwise you have to manually enter a rate based on the proportion of the analysis line that relates to a labour charge.

Payments and Payment Adjustments

Payments for sub-contractors are entered in the normal manner.
