Using NShine ERP in Australia
You will know how to set up an Australian transport business: a GST 10 rate, your business number in the TRN field, AUD, the July to June year and the registration, insurance and licence documents to track.
Australia has a single national GST and a July to June financial year. The setup in NShine ERP is short: one tax rate, the business number on the company, the currency and the year, then the documents your trucks and drivers carry.
GST
- Create GST 10 under Settings › Tax Rates and a GST 0 rate for GST-free supplies such as some exports.
- Pick GST 10 as the Tax Rate on customer and supplier invoices; the app calculates the tax and shows it on the printed tax invoice.
- The Customer TAX Report and Supplier TAX Report give the GST collected and paid figures you need for your activity statement.
Business Number
- Enter your business number in the TRN field under Settings › Company. The label reads TRN because the field is used for tax registration in every market; it prints on invoices in the place your customers expect the business number.
- Enter each customer’s and supplier’s business number in the TRN field on their record.
- Field labels are renameable per company, so the TRN label can be changed to read as a business number on your screens if you prefer; ask support.
Currency And Year
- Company Currency AUD with No. of Decimal 2 under Settings › Company.
- Financial year 1 July to 30 June: create it under Settings › Financial Year with a label such as 2026-27 and Set Active. Create the next year before 1 July each year.
- Bank details on employees and suppliers use Bank Name, Branch Name and Account No; the branch field holds the branch code.
Documents To Map
Entity | Document types | Note |
|---|---|---|
Vehicle | Registration, Insurance (CTP and comprehensive), Inspection or roadworthy certificate, Heavy vehicle accreditation where applicable | Registration renewal dates vary by state; use a Remind Before of 30 days or more |
Employee | Driving License (heavy vehicle class), identity documents, Medical certificate, Induction or site cards | Medical certificates for heavy vehicle drivers have fixed renewal periods |
Customer / Supplier | Business number certificate, Insurance certificate of currency | Keep the TRN on the record too |
Driver Hours And Trips
- The Trip journey steps and the Job clock (Started, Delivered, Actual hrs) record when a trip began and ended; the Vehicle Travel Log and Driver Run Sheet reports list them per vehicle and per driver.
- These are operational records, not a fatigue-management diary; keep the statutory work diary as the law requires.
