Items 2,3,4 and 6 (IIRC) actually contain a PST. Procedure : Item is noted examined for PST and/or GST requirements individual PST and/or GST amounts are NOT provided item amount is multiplied by the factor to arrive at the amount (now including the PST) this amount is rounded using the if its 0.5000 or greater up, if less down rule The individual calculations (with their attendant rounding) results in small amounts of error. The actual amount paid was $75.79 but with that there was an error of $0.01. Amounts are not balanced so the Assets file was modified to eliminate the error. Error is because vendor (if I'm understanding things correctly) adds all amounts and then calculates PST and GST. This doesn't work when the items are individually entered. (Some clueless vendors actually charge a tax on a tax too!) Dee -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
