@JoEz apologies for the delay.
Sure.
In the example above, there were 4x Computers and 4x Autocad purchased to be on sold to customers and so are allocated as Cost of Goods Sold - these are allocated to one tax classification.
The other 1x Computer and Autocad were purchased as expenses to the company to be used internally - these are allocated to a different tax classification given they are a capital expense.
This is only a basic example when using the same items on multiple lines. This may need to be done in cases where bulk purchase is required for a particular price point (in our client’s case).
As a different example not using the same item multiple times. A separate example is the purchase of a vehicle.
The invoice has several line items.
- Vehicle (Capital Expense which includes tax - Tax A). This is an item / fixed asset.
- Stamp Duty (tax free - Tax D). Entered without item code.
- Registration Fee (Non-capital expense without tax - Tax B). Entered without item code.
- Compulsory Insurance (Non-capital expense without tax - Tax B). Entered without item code.
- Number Plate (Non-capital expense without tax - Tax B). Entered without item code.
- Extended warranty (Non-Capital expense with Tax - Tax C). Entered without item code.
I realise this is more to how it is entered into ERPNext, as when entering these into the Purchase invoice we do not use item codes, but simply populate the item name / expense account for each line item - like @becht_robert suggested at Expenses not related to items - #10 by becht_robert.
In any case, all of the accounting packages I have used all have the ability to change the tax implied to individual line items in the sale / purchase document i.e. Xero, Quickbooks / Reckon, MYOB.
