Hi I started using the bilcue system for online invoicing.
I currently test it with myself as a client.
I have a problem with the GST settings. :

In The settings of my account GST is checked.

Creating and Invoice. I use $10 as the amount.

On the Client's Invoices list. Only the $10 appears

In the Invoice Preview NO GST is mentioned!

After the payment is maide in the welcome screen of my bilcue account it says that I made $10 and I
collected $1 as GST.

Also would you consider changing the terminology "To pay with Direct Credit..." to "For
Electronic Fund Transfer..." (EFT) in the invoice notes?

Hi,

This glitch (which was due to a recent upgrade in the addition of downloadable PDFs of invoices) has been fixed.

And yes, we can change the wording to "For Electronic Funds Transfer"

Thanks I tested it and it works now.
However there should be a note on the Create Invoice page (next to the price) that this price should include the GST.

Unless you can reverse that. Meaning that the software calculates the GST based on the price we put in the Create Invoice page and ADD this price to the final due amount!. That would save us a little more time from using calculators or excell.

Hi,

I'll put the note in, However, the create invoice page does add up the amounts you enter as you type them.
The total at the bottom changes with each line (item) amount you enter.

Sorry I wasn't clear.
Right now we have to put the price INCLUDING GST.
In order to do that we have to do that "out" of bilcue using excel or a calculator.

It would be very convenient if at the create invoice page we could just put the price without GST and bilcue could calculate the GST and add it in the invoice.

Thanks

I see,

If I change it, then people who want to put in their total price will be the ones who need to do the calculating.

I'll see what I can do to suit both types.

I'll add a qty column, and an ex-GST column so that the amount can be entered in either the ex-GST or inc-GST fields.

Hi,

we have added the extra column, please let me know if it is what you were after. If it is all good, I'll add the same to the 'edit invoice' page

That's great Roger,

It works fine now and it makes it easier if you don't want to calculate the GST or if you have given to the client a price with GST included.

Great service and quick response from you guys.

Thanks a lot and keep up the good work.
Dennis
