Purchase Invoices & VAT

We are not registered for VAT. However, we receive Purchase Invoices which have individual item lines which do not include VAT. If I enter these figures there is no option to add the VAT total at the bottom.
The only way I can see to put these invoices on is to ignore all the individual items and just put the total, including VAT. Is there any way I can record multiple items without having to get my calculator out to add the VAT onto each line?

Hi Jen,

Unfortunately Solar Accounts doesn't have a way to record the supplier's VAT separately if your business is not registered for VAT. Usually you would just enter the VAT-inclusive price, but an alternative is to just add up all the VAT amounts and then add an extra line to the supplier's Purchase Invoice for the VAT amount, with the Account set to the same expense account as the other lines.

Cheers
