Hi

first time here,

we have transfered to cash accounting, and have some unallocated payments to go against invoices. when we try to do this we are told tax / element mismatch. can anyone help with how to get around this please?

Hi finnennis

I wonder if this is more to do with the change of vat rate from 17.5% to 15%, than changing to cash accounting?

Double check that your Invoices and your Payments on Accounts are both using the sames Tax Code and have the same amount for vat?

Otherwise the solution is likely to be to delete the Payment on Account and post again directly against the Sales Invoice (and remember to put the tick in bank rec, if the payment has already been reconciled).

Good luck,
Andrea

This is a function of / result of using cash accounting; the invoice and tax code need to be the same on both invoice and payment on account, so as Andrea says, delete the incorrect one and re-enter.
