The Workbench transaction line GST values that have been system calculated or manually entered will be the values imported into MYOB. However, the BASLink function in MYOB recalculates the GST values based on the gross value of the invoice which means that if during Workbench data entry the GST value was changed for some valid reason the BASLink process will calculate a GST value that is different to the source document. This scenario applies even if the GST value is edited in MYOB.
If your business has the need to edit GST values we recommend that you do not use the BASLink function but manually compile your BAS Statement using the Transaction reports in MYOB.
Note: - If this is not setup correctly the MYOB import just goes ahead with the import without any GST.
Set up the GST types in Workbench to equate to the Tax types in MYOB.
