In the GST Return repoort options -their is NO facility to SET THE DEFAULT ACCOUNTING BASIS IE
"INVOICE" or "CASH"
As these are set by the company with IRD -- I would have thought this a standard option facility -
Can anyone point me to the solution please ?
(Its a nightmare if discovered AFTER FILING !! )

goodmorning Celia--thanks for participating-
Yes your comments are the general method of processing the GST return however -my discussion was on the
abilty to "lock in" the "type of GST method" INv or cash -- as a SETUP option..
In our challange of accuracy a fundamental tenent -is to minimise the chances of errors-- which tend in this case for example to occur when someones on hiloday or somesort of "change" to norm
I have worked with many programmes -and many have in the GST programme SET UP the option to lock in the CASH basis or INVOICE basis--which is logical -(and helpful) cuts out a step in the process and is set up to suit the IRD agreement ...
Am I in the correct area ? I did see an area "ideas" -- but was unable to figure out how to enter it (any hints there?)
Cheers
Celia I have been looking at options in the programme and it struck me that the SOLUTION is this!!
CREATE A "CUSTOM REPORT "
SO I did! and I set it up and saved WITH THE "CASH OPTION" populated !!
And I NAMED IT "GST CASH BASIS"
AND I made it available to all authorised users -- SO
I believe I have mitigated the option of selecting and processing GST incorrectly --
Surprised no one proofeered that actually .. However its a fix
cheers
