Hi everyone,
Several users are reporting an issue regarding the VAT Payable account (ضريبة القيمة المضافة - المستحقة).
The issue: The account appears correctly on the Balance Sheet under Liabilities (as seen in the screenshots) and is properly linked to the Tax Codes. However, when trying to create a Payment or a Journal Entry, this specific account does not appear in the “Account” dropdown list. This makes it impossible to select for manual adjustments or tax payments.
As much as I would like to say that this is by design – especially since these adjustments will not be reflected in localized tax reports, the fact remains that this is not the reason for this issue.
The main reason is that localizations should create a new ordinary account for tax liabilities in place of the built-in account.
And although I strongly advise against such treatment using Journal Entries and instead create a Pass-through (100%) tax code to handle such adjustmenents, the user should still be able to record Payments directly to the tax account without applying a tax code.
Therefore, I will initiate a change in the localization, but first I need you to tell me which country this is.
