How do we know this is an issue?

Despite ticking the invoice option Down payment was previoulsy taxed, the example below demonstrates that the down payment GL Entry was broken into two parts, one part being taxable, the other non-taxable.


Since there was only one down payment processed, we would expect one GL Entry for the down payment for the entire amount, being taxable, ensuring the tax is credited when it hits the GL.


Invoice Tab in ConnectWise

See that the Down payment was previously taxed option is ticked.


GL Entries for the down payment in ConnectWise

See that there are two entries. 


XML Output

The first line is taxable, where the second line isn't.
