Receiving stock from vendors with different tax rates in Cinema Manager

You may receive the same item using different tax rates, depending on the vendor you ordered it from.

For example: Large vendors may use a standard item tax rate of 18%, while small vendors may have a special lower tax rate of 9%.

Before you begin:

• Configure the Receipt tax for any vendors that use a special lower tax rate in Maintenance > Vendors.
• Configure the system setting StockReceiptsTaxToUse to VENDOR.

1. In Cinema Manager, in Stock receipts, create a new stock receipt for items from your large vendor with no special tax rate.
2. Add an item row for your received item.

   For example: Heineken 330mL.

3. Save the stock receipt.

   Because the large vendor has no special receipt tax configured, the item's default tax rate is used.

4. Create a new stock receipt for items from your small vendor with a special tax rate.
5. Add an item row for your received item.

   For example: Heineken 330mL.

6. Save the stock receipt.

   The small vendor's specially configured receipt tax is used instead of the items' default tax rate.

   Note: This functionality only applies to stock receipts. It doesn't apply to stock adjustments such as increases, decreases, transfers, and wastage.
