Naming Issue when uploading Bills

I’m trying to upload a bill.

This page

https://dev.freeagent.com/docs/bills

suggest a field called ‘sales_tax_value

is available, but when I use it, I receive an error saying the field isn’t
known!

Do I use that field for the manual vat amount applied or this one ’
manual_sales_tax_amount’?

I think I’d come to the same conclusion after beating it about a bit. It’s
not very well detailed in the documents unless you realise it’s all
detailed in a separate section! Plus that still doesn’t answer why the api
returned sales_tax_value as an unknown property…On 20 May 2014 09:36, Harry Mills harry@freeagent.com wrote:

Hi Jon,

There are a few different ways to specify sales tax through the API. You
can either set the manual_sales_tax_amount, which is the amount of sales
tax in the bill currency. FreeAgent will calculate what percentage that is
and will return the manual_sales_tax_amount you specified as the
sales_tax_value and the calculated rate as the sales_tax_rate.
Alternatively, you can set the sales_tax_rate to the percentage of the
total value that is sales tax. FreeAgent will calculate the sales_tax_value
for you.

There’s some more information about Sales Tax in the FreeAgent API
available at FreeAgent Developer Dashboard. Though it’s mainly
around invoices and estimates the same applies to bills.
