Hi there, this is my first post so i hope it's in the right place...
I have just opened up a Sage backup, and on the File Maintenance report there is a warning stating:
"Transaction uses tax code which is currently not being included in the VAT return."
I have been asked to fix this - can anyone help with what i have to do?
All of the transaction numbers are for very old entries, so nothing actually affects the current VAT figures as far as i can see. It just looks like the previous entrant has posted to T99 rather than T9, as there is no VAT on any of the amounts.
If these are very old entries that have been fully reconciled you could run the Clear Audit Trail routine to clear them from the system. This will have the added advantage of reducing the size of your data file. Make sure you take a couple of backups before running this routine and also make sure you get the dates correct. You don't want to clear anything from the current financial year.
Thank you very much for that - it could kill two birds with one stone, as archiving to reduce the size was another thing requested of me. I'll give it a shot next week. Thank you once again!
No problem. Just don't forget to take backups before you do it. It might also be a good idea to run Check Data before doing it to make sure that there are no actual errors with your data file.
