DEPARTMENTS - WHAT IS A DEPARTMENT?


In iLabPOS, a Department is a division of Stock by VAT Rate. In Malta you would normally have 3 different Tax Departments. These are Full (18%), Reduced (5%) and Exempt or Non-Vatable (0%).

If you are using iLabPOS in Malta then you do not really need to change anything here as the correct VAT Rates have been assigned to the departments. However if you are using iLabPOS outside Malta, then use this module to supply iLabPOS with the correct VAT Rates.

The VAT Rate is added to the Selling Price of the article you are selling at the time of Cash Sale or Invoice. This unless you have chosen to include the VAT in the Selling Price. If you are not sure of what this is, refer to section 2.1, Preferences.

As you may see in the screenshot below, each department comes with a short code. This code is displayed on a Cash Sale slip, as is usually printed with a cash register.

To attach a VAT Department with an article, refer to the Article Screen.
