Invoicing only VAT

There is no function for invoicing only VAT in Opter, but one solution is to produce a manual invoice, using the VAT account as the sales account for a VAT item.

Proceed as follows:

1. Click on Economy > Invoices > Invoices.

2. Click on File > Manual invoicein the Invoices window.

3. Fill in the details that are to apply to the invoice. When you get down to the item rows, click on the drop-down list in the Item column.

   1. If there is a item called VAT, select it.

   2. If there is no VAT item, it needs to be created.

   Creating a VAT item

   1. Click on for the item row to open the Items (for manual invoice) window.

   2. Enter “VAT” as the name.

   3. Select “0% VAT” in the VAT rate drop-down list.

   4. Go to the Account coding tab and click on to the right of Transport.

   5. Select the VAT account (usually 2641) for the row that has 0% VAT.

      It must be the same VAT rate as was selected in point 3 above. If you are unsure, you can select the VAT account on all the rows that appeared when you clicked on .

   6. Click on to save all changes. Then close the window.

4. On the price item row, the quantity and unit price should also be stated. Enter “1” in the Quantity column and enter the VAT to be invoiced in Unit price column.
