Setting Expense Markup Exceptions based on Net Amount
The Exceptions capability added to the Expense Markup Settings within Expense Invoicing settings under the Client Edit page gives the ability to choose to Apply Expense Markup on Net Amount and Gross Amount for the same Client but to different expense items.
- Net Amount; you have the option to Apply Tax on Expense Markup when invoicing (Client Tax Group will be used) or not.
- Gross Amount; you have the option to Apply Tax on Expense Markup when invoicing for exceptions (Client Tax Group will be used) or not.
