You cannot enter a transaction that contains both Sales and Purchase Tax Items in QuickBooks QBi 2008/09 (General Journal)

Legacy KB ID: 216

Question

Why do I receive a warning message: You cannot enter a transaction that contains both Sales and Purchase Tax Items in QuickBooks QBi 2008/09 when modifying a General Journal Entry?

Answer

This warning will occur if you select a Tax Item, for example (NCG), save the Journal entry and attempt to edit the tax item, for example (GST). The following warning message will appear:

'You cannot enter a transaction that contains both Sales and Purchase Tax Items. You must enter these types of transactions as separate General Journal Entries'

  • If you are creating a General Journal Entry and have selected the incorrect tax item, click Clear.
  • If you are modifying a saved General Journal Entry, you will need to delete and re-enter the General Journal Entry selecting the correct tax items.
