Can anyone help me out with this?

I am setting up vendors and entering invoices at the same time on the AP Module. In order to set-up the gst portion of the invoice payments, the system gives me account # 0000-000 to post the gst and when I tried to save it brings an error message "account unknown". how do I set-up the account for gst on the AP module.

Also, how do I separate the gst payable and receivable on powerchurch.

-the payable being the portion paid/to be paid on the invoice and the reclaimable(receivable) from CRA.

Sorry, I am in Canada.

I'm assuming you're using version 11.1 or 11.5:

Basically, you need to setup the account under File -> Preferences -> Accounting Setup -> Accounts Payable module before you can use it in AP. If you press the <F1> with the screen up, it will give you some info on how to fill that out.

Here's a knowledgebase article that will show you how to use the accounts once they are setup:

Because you are a charitable organization, you do not need to seperate the receivable from payable, as you should never have anything that you are charging GST for. In any case, you set up your accounts to automatically calculate the GST Receivable at 50% so that when you enter your invoice, the GST (50%) is set up as Receivable, and the other 50% is added to the expense. You go into aCCOUNTING sETUP, aCCOUNTS pAYABLE, and set up your GST to calculate at 50% to the Receivable account.
