If you are wondering how our Business Registration Number XBerts works, then read below.
โ€‹

Our following alerts will check the Business Registration Number for details...

  • Incorrect Business Registration Number for business

  • Bill raised with the supplier not registered for GST/VAT

  • The business has an incorrect GST/VAT status

  • GST/VAT registration required

  • Payment to a supplier not registered for GST/VAT

There are 3 levels of checks that XBert will do for the above alerts...

  1. Use the Business Registration Number of the contact record in the accounting system

  2. If no Business Registration Number is against the contact it will scan for a Business Registration Number within the attached documents

  3. If it cannot find a document that has a Business Registration Number it will use the name to match against records in your country's business register e.g. ABR.

    Note: If your business name is missing parts or characters of their name (such as Pty Ltd, spaces, characters) it can increase the chance of the search matching to a different entity name, business name, or trading name.

If there is a Business Registration Number against the contact record in the accounting system then XBert can also carry out the following checks

  • Large GST/VAT activity for contact without a Business Registration Number

  • The Business Registration Number on the bill attachment is different to the supplier

  • Multiple Business Registration Numbers on attachments for supplier bill

  • The supplier has bills with different Business Registration Numbers on other attachments

  • Non-GST/VAT account has GST/VAT against it
