Why doesn't that code show up when you enter a journal? Basically, long story short...
Accountant came round to do an end of year journal (going back to Apr 2009!) and booked an amount to the VAT control but didn't assign a VAT item to it therefore when I tried to do the current VAT return a, rather large, uncategorised amount showed up. This amount has properly been accounted for so I need to take it off of the VAT 100 report without it affecting the figures. Everything I tried altered the figures so I'm a bit stumped.
Apparently this all started due to upgrading years ago!!
This is what I did to get rid of uncatagorised amounts in the VAT return, I had a similar problem when the previous person had a 2006 version and mine was 2008. I set up in the COA a VAT suspense and labelled it 2006 so the accountant knows what it is for as like you its already been accounted for. Then I journalled out the amount. I did:- DEB VAT control CREdit VAT suspense Then put abit in the memo to tell the accountant what it was for, in the name section put HMRC(default), then the next column which is VAT item leave it BLANK, this will then automatically go tot he uncatagorised part of the VAT return and take it out of there. I have done it so it works OK. If you need to take out any amounts in the Sales or purchases section do the same but in the VAT item put it to Sales or purchases.
