VAT control account table maintenance
This program maintains the list of the accounts for which you want to control the manual entries of invoices and settlements. Since the entries are done automatically and VAT is considered only for automatic transactions, manual entry entails the risk of the data being spoiled (inconsistent).
To avoid entering bookings for specific accounts, a list of accounts is maintained and the G/L account string validation program validates (when called from any program where bookings are entered manually) the account parts against the VAT control account reference file. If a matching combination is found (i.e., the entered combination is a VAT control account), the entry is disallowed.
VAT check – transaction types
The entries in the VAT check – transaction types file are related to the Purchase order matching process in connection with VAT reconciliation. The idea is to separate tax information (input VAT or prepaid tax) from the transactions and have this information available when VAT reconciliation is done.
