Not understanding net profit

I’ll just give the specifics.

I have a bill for $150. Tax is 7.375% bringing the grand total to $161.06

This is my 1st invoice ever.

This brings my “Net Profit” line to $168.44 and Less Liabilities says − $ 7.38

Where is Less Liabilities generating this amount from? And is the net profit of my “company” really more than the income I actually made?

You will need to show screenshots of what you see but it should be similar to this

Purchase Invoice - edit mode

Purchase Invoice - view mode

Summary tab - relative section

The only difference I see between us is you used a Purchase Order and I used a Sales Order…should that matter?

No difference, just that when you said “I have a bill for $150” I assumed that you had received the bill, not sent the bill.

It would appear that the Sales Tax is a Custom Code created by you and that creation contains a setup error. Note how the Tax Payable balance is 7.38 which is 7.375 rounded.

It would appear that you may have ticked a flat rate tick box - untick it and what now occurs.
Otherwise post a screenshot of that custom tax code dialog panel.

Just an aside: Sales Orders are only required if a customer sends you an order, you don’t need to create one to create a sales invoice.

I BOW DOWN TO YOU SIR, THANK YOU!

It reflects perfectly now!
