Ahh, I understand the rounding issue now. back in the good ole days when UK
VAT was 17.5%, I had that quite often.
So, for example, you create an invoice in GC for €487.80. GC auto adds the
23%, you end up with an invoice total for 599.99, and you want it to be for
€600 (and have payment for 600)
What I used to do (20% VAT doesn't cause many rounding errors these days! Yay
for tax increases! ;-( ) was an an extra line for 1p to the invoice. the
account that it would go to was the VAT:OutputTax account, and I unchecked the
"Is Taxable?" column. all seemed to work OK - similar for bills, except the
penny (occasionally 2) would go to VAT:InputTax
As to the zero sums showing, sorry, didn't realise it was just for some
vendors. I have one customer that shows in similar sounding way, with a row
of zeroes. I think that somewhere along the line GC has lost track of a
payment, or at least the association between a payment and it's invoice. I
had a bit of a look at it a while ago, and deleted and recreated some
payments, but I couldn't nail it down so decided to live with it.
HTH,
Maf.
