The LS Central (South Africa) extension provides a dedicated report — Sales Invoice (ZA) (ID 10044820) — for printing posted sales invoices from the back office. The report is designed to meet South African Revenue Service (SARS) requirements for VAT-compliant tax invoices.
Document heading
The heading printed at the top of the document is set automatically based on the invoice type, and includes the document number:
- For a regular invoice, the heading is Tax Invoice followed by the invoice number (for example, Tax Invoice 103001).
- For a prepayment invoice, the heading is Sales - Prepayment Invoice followed by the invoice number.
When the report is run with the No. of Copies request page option set to more than one, the additional copies print the same heading followed by the word COPY (for example, Tax Invoice 103001 COPY).
Report content
The report prints the following information:
| Section | Details printed |
|---|---|
| Company information | Company name, address, phone number, email, home page, and VAT Registration No. |
| Customer addresses | Bill-to address and Ship-to address. |
| Document information | Invoice No., Document Date, Due Date, Payment Terms, Shipment Method, and Sell-to Customer No. |
| Invoice lines | Item description, quantity, unit of measure, unit price, line discount, VAT identifier, and line amount. |
| VAT specification | VAT base, VAT amount, VAT %, and VAT identifier, plus a VAT Clause block that lists the VAT Clause Code and its description for each VAT line. VAT Clause records allow legally required exemption clauses to be printed alongside the VAT totals. |
| VAT amount in local currency | When the invoice is in a foreign currency and the Print VAT specification in LCY field is enabled in General Ledger Setup, an additional VAT block is printed showing the VAT base and VAT amount converted to the local currency (LCY) configured for the company. |
| Line fee notes | Any line fee notes recorded against the posted invoice — printed when the Show Additional Fee Note option is enabled on the request page. |
Request page options
When the report is run, the request page offers the following options:
- No. of Copies — number of additional copies to print after the original.
- Show Internal Information — includes information intended only for internal use.
- Log Interaction — logs the print as an interaction with the contact.
- Show Assembly Components — includes components used in linked assembly orders.
- Show Additional Fee Note — includes line fee notes on the document.
