Summary
Some of our clients sell Gift Vouchers. The following article outlines how this is achieved in Platinum for customers in the United Kingdom.
Setup
Go to " Stock Control Add or Edit Stock Item".
- Click [Add] and enter a suitable "Stock Code" e.g. GIFT.
- In the "Description" enter Gift Voucher.
- Enter a "Standard Selling" price of '£1.00'. Leave the "Std Cost Price" set to zero.
 | If you sell a £10 voucher you can sell 10 x £1 vouchers so you know the value of vouchers sold without having to divide the figure at all. |
- Set the "V.A.T Rate:" to '2 - Zero Rate'. Current VAT legislation (November 2008) in the UK states that you do not have to account for VAT on vouchers that you both issue and redeem. You should check the VAT legislation carefully to ensure that your scheme is operating under the correct rules.
- Create a new Sales Centre that links into a new centre on the Balance Sheet.
- If you are unsure what codes to use, consult your Accounts Department.
- On the [Invoicing] tab, ensure that "Update Quantity" is set to 'Yes'.
- Click [Done] and [Accept].
- You now need to do a Stock Movement with a mode of <A> to put a quantity of Gift Vouchers in stock. (This does not affect Stock Valuation as the items are at Zero Cost).
More Information
