    Exclamation Importing into pastel (multi VAT/Ledger per invoice)

    At the moment we’re using the Journal import, where we are importing per batch at sales and cost of sales journals.
    This means one transaction per invoice with one VAT code and one ledger code. This works for most cases.
    But what is happening is that we generate invoices with multiple lines. And each line could differ in VAT and ledger code.

    What we can do is split it as multiple journals with the same invoice number, but when printing the statements in Pastel the invoice would show more than ones, but it must show ones per invoice on the statement.
    Or
    Is there a way importing the invoice or Credit notes itself with Header and lines?



    We are doing some extra journal imports to move and remove the values to the correct Ledger accounts after importing a single sales journal to get multiple ledgers in the correct accounts, but we can't do that with VAT?

    Yes, refer to my post (#4) in this thread for the CSV file layout.

    Thanks for the info, it looks like something I can use, just one question, I only know the basic in pastel if I import the invoices like this, where do i add the ledger codes or am I missing it on the import layout?

    In the sample CSV file that I attached to my post, I used inventory codes, not GL ledger codes.

    On the Detail lines, you will need to change the 4 to a 6 in column L (i.e. from Item Code to GL) and then insert the GL codes in column J. Don't insert the / in the GL code, e.g. 1000/000 must be captured as 1000000.

    Great thanks, did not realize the 10.code was links to 12.line type. I appreciate the confirmation. It helps a lot.
