ODYSSEY FAQ 1

Why does my Sales Tax Report show totals that differ from the Invoice Summary Report?

• • The Sales Tax Report generates amounts based on the individual sales tax codes while the Invoice Summary creates totals of what was taxed and what was not taxed. This means that the monthly totals for taxable codes on the sales tax report may show more than the taxable total on the invoice summary. The totals of all codes should match totals on the invoice summary with only one exception. The invoice summary breaks the returns out into a separate column, but the sales tax report includes the returns/refunds into the calculation. This means that total taxable on the sales tax report may be less than the invoice summary report.

• • Another issue may be noticed on the sales tax report. You may notice that the monthly totals of the individual codes don’t add up to the total at the bottom. This is caused by sales that use more than one tax code. Each code will show the amount in this case, but the bottom line will show the actual taxed amount.
