Sales Tax in More Info Window

Problem

Moving the Sales Tax field to the More Info window in Material Purchases and other expense transactions causes calculation errors (the tax is not updated correctly). A similar problem can also occur with Vendor Withholding that is a deduction from the purchase amount.

This problem may also appear in Sales or Estimates, although we did not test them specifically. The fix is generic, and will apply to any transactions that use sales tax and/or vendor withholding.

Caught By

User bug report.

Workaround

Put the Sales Tax and Sales Tax Amount fields on the main layout. All calculations work fine if they are there.

Solution

This problem is fixed in Goldenseal accounting software version 4.3.
