I enter a large amount of receipt purchases using the General Journal. After completing the entries with the base amount of the purchase I then add the gst. for example: 5030: Fuel $152 then GST 2315: 8.00 After completing all these line by line and then posting the software asks if I want to post with or without the gst? I then say yes then a window opens were as I have to then enter the letter G for all the items. It would be nice if you would have this option in the general ledger. A column to add the GST G Code as on the sales invoice and purchase invoices. For me it takes time to enter these purchases in a purchase invoice under the "One Time Vendor" purchase than using the general journal. So please consider adding a code column ok.
Thanks

If you don't want to enter a vendor name, just make a generic vendor such as "Purchases". Pin the payment method and name. Then you only have to do the date amount and tax field. Using a tax code with the tax included makes it even faster. GJ entries are not your friend for this.
