Sorry to disagree, but at least here in Germany it’s common standard for professional accounting programs to have the ability to make any journal entry tax-relevant without the need of going through the way of an invoice. As Christopher said, no-one really wants to go through the hassle of recording the details of an invoice if they’ve just bought a pack of 500 sheets A4 paper with cash at the stationery. An example of this can be seen in the image below: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MRnjSGd-b_Y/maxresdefault.jpg The field labeled *BU* in the yellow input area stands for „Buchungsschlüssel“ translating to somewhat like “account key“ which allows for the entry of pre-defined numbers which relate to different VAT percentages and stuff like reverse charge or setting the VAT due if it was posted to vat not due before. Kind regards Christian Kluge. _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
