    Re-export to files & VAT

    Our v9.0.1 Business is set up for Vat-inclusive products and shipping and, from the customers point of view, everything works fine. The orders have the vat calculated as expected.

    Once the orders are downloaded we use the 're-export to files' function to import the resulting data into our third party mail order program.

    We have a carriage charge of £4.99 including VAT. However, We are finding that the shipping charge is imported as in as VAT-exclusive (£4.99 ex-vat).

    Looking at the Actinic generated 'orders.csv' file, the field 'Shipping Total Cost' contains the correct carriage charge (£4.99) but the field 'Shipping Tax Cost 1' has a 0 in it. If I change this to a '1' the order will import with a gross shipping charge (£4.99 including VAT).

    My question, therefore, is how can I get the Actinic export to put a '1' in the 'Shipping Tax Cost 1' column thereby telling our software that the carriage charge is VAT inclusive?

    Many thanks.

    Unless there's some setting you've missed it sounds like a bug that actinic will need to fix. There's no way of doing you're own modification to the actinic executables.

    A workaround would be to run a macro that changes that 0 to 1 but it would have to run on every export.

    Is there some kind of pre-processing done on your csv file before importing? Maybe you could fix it at that end by changing the way it interprets the info.

      Thanks for the info Mike,

      I thought the easiest way was to open the csv in Excel, change the 0's to 1's and save the file. However, Excel happily strips off the leading zero's of our product codes.

      I don't suppose anyone knows of a spreadsheet that will save csv's without stripping off the leading zeros?

        Change the format to text instead before saving as CSV.

          I thought of that, but our third party software doesn't then like the import.

            Just in case anyone else has the same problem...

            Killink CSV from http://www.whitepeaksoftware.com/ works a treat.
