Applying GST Sales Tax invoice amounts net of retention

Issue/Symptom/Question

Canadian GST sales tax is calculated and applied on invoice amounts net of retention, Is there a way to do this in Penta?

Applies To

Contract Information (or Schedule of Values) Line item information

Automated Invoice process


Resolution/Fix/Answer

Currently there is no way to calculate sales tax (of any type) on line item amounts net of retention; 

Sales tax is calculated on the gross line item amounts, there currently is not a way to reduce the line item amounts by the retention amount prior to calculating sales tax.
