Purchase document

Choose the 🔎 icon, enter Purchase Order/Purchase Invoice, and then select the related link.
Fill in the fields as necessary. Hover over a field to read a short description.
If the vendor is registered for retention tax and the CIS/RCT Product Posting Group is set on the resource, item, fixed asset or g/l accountIf, all lines, except the type of Comment and Charge (Item), automatically gets the CIS/RCT Business Posting Group populated on the line.
If the CIS/RCT Product Posting Group is not set on the resource, item fixed asset or g/l account, you need to add this information on the line.

When posting the purchase invoice the system creates a CIS/RCT Entry and Detailed CIS/RCT Entry. The deducted tax amount is recorded in the Expected Amount field.

Note! It’s possible to correct an invoice after you have closed the tax retention period. It is the payments that are reported to HMRC, not the invoices.

Pay a purchase invoice

When you create a payment an additional Detailed CIS/RCT Entry will be created. This entry will have Type=Application. On the CIS/RCT Entry, the Expected Amount will be reduced and the Actual Amount will be increased with a ratio of the payment.

When the document applied, the CIS/RCT Entry and the last Detailed CIS/RCT Entry will have Expected Amount zero and Actual Amount with entire deduction.

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

In addition to accessing the CIS Subcontractor Statements from the CIS/RCT Period page, you can also use the CIS Subcontractor Statements report for the specific period to manage subcontractor statements. This report will display the statements for all subcontractors associated with the selected period.
