Global Postings in Sage 50 Integration

If used, Global Postings will override ALL other settings including information normally taken from the product record. Sage's Global Details section is designed to bounce all item lines on an invoice or sales order down to a single transaction when it's updated to ledgers; if you're happy for each item on a 30-line order to be processed using the same nominal code, department and tax code, you can keep your audit trail and activity screens tidy by amalgamating into a single ledger transaction. Global becomes active if the Nominal Code in this section is set; a global posting is valid with blank Details, and a blank Department will use the default department. If you activate global by setting the Nominal Code, the details and/or department will be used if populated, the selected Tax Code will also be used for every transaction. 

To turn off global postings if activated in error, use the icon next to Nominal Code and Department.

Note - use of the Global Tax Code will impact the tax code appearing on the Sage postings but will not affect the VAT calculation. Invoices with global postings in Sage still take the tax treatment (i.e. how much is net and how much is VAT) of the individual item lines from the product record or customer record depending on settings. Global postings determine the tax code used but have no impact on the amounts, or on the Net/VAT split; in other words it's entirely possible to have a global posting using the T0 tax code which still contains 20% VAT if the product records are set to T1.
