Usual story - new to QB and have a client whose previous bookkeeper didnt "submit" VAT returns using QB.  Needless to say VAT payments haven't been correctly processed through QB, and General Journal entries have been posted for some purchase/sales invoices without being "assigned"

I really just want to clear the whole mess up so I can move forward using QB as it should. Any help out there?

I have run the unassisgned report and it comes up with the General Journal entries (that should have been purchase/sales ledger) and the  lines comprise of analysis (NET amounts), VAT and bank amount.  For the purchase entries, If I assign HMRC and VAT @ 20% purchases against the NET lines and the VAT the purchase entries go to the correct places - vat in box 4 and net purchases in box 7. 

BUT with the general journals that relate to sales, the NET  value in box 6 is correct, but the VAT value in box 1 is the total of one of the net lines (there are two on this posting) plus the VAT. (The sales entries relates to many "customers" as management fees run on a separate specialist system hence a group entry via General Journals)

Is this all too much for QB?

I know I am making this sound very complicated but any help would be greatly appreciated!
