We have our GST setup to record GST on Sales into a GST account, and we also have a separate account to record GST (ITC) on purchases.

When we purchase something I use the "Other payment" transaction in the banking section and the journal entry is as follows:

DR  Expense

DR  GST (ITC)

CR Cash

Everything is correct.

The issue is when we return something, I use the banking transaction "Other Receipts" as we received money back. The system thinks this is more of a "sales" transaction so it records the following:

DR Cash

CR GST on Sales

CR Expense

This really should be a credit to GST (ITC) and not GST on sales, is there any way to change this?

I already tried modifying the GL code to be able to post directly to it in the "receipts" section but Sage wont allow this as it "can't expose the control account".

Any suggestions other than a manual Journal Entry?
