We are trying to integrate transaction with a negative in the amount field but the system won't let it.
DOC 1 ERROR: A negative value was found in the 'Amount' field of the root recordset. - A negative value was found in the 'Amount' field of the root recordset.
For I am trying to do is posting a negative figure in the tax field, however, entering the exact figure as a positive in tax detail to order to bring up a sale entry with a total of $0.
Our clients paid a block of hours for service in return for discount. We bill our client an usage invoice at the month end. It is a $0 invoice. The amount of work and tax are taken out from the prepaid money.
That's why we have to enter a negative figure for tax and a positive in tax details, so we are not billing our client for anything since it is a wash and the proper amount of tax is being recorded. There are some GL distributions with this entry too.
Example:
Deferred Revenue account 120
Income Account 100
Sales Tax 20
The tax field will be $(20) and $20 within the tax details.
How to force the integration manager to accept a negative amount in this case?
