This article describes changes in the Purchases and Sales Invoices Communications (Esterometro) reporting process on Dynamics AX 2012 R3 introduced for the purpose to accommodate changes in VAT management in case if a company applies VAT management and reporting by tax point date (“Date of VAT register”): KB #4511202.
Overview
When a company decides to use “Date of VAT register” feature to enable VAT management by tax point date which differs from the date of transaction posting, setup of Purchases and Sales Invoices Communications (Esterometro) reporting must be adjusted to collect invoices by Date of VAT register instead of the transaction posting date:
-
Open General ledger > Reports > External > Invoices communication register, click Add records > Customer/Vendor invoices. Adjust the query so it will contain the “Date of VAT register” field:
2. Set the interval of dates for the period you are going to report. With this change, invoices will be added to the register by Date of VAT register instead of posting date.
When “Date of VAT register” parameter
in General ledger parameters form is marked, the system on adding invoices
to the Invoices communication registerwill
set “Source date” field value to Date of VAT register of the invoices
instead of invoice date so, that user can easily filer the records by this date:
Important note : It is supposed that Date of VAT register field is filled in for all the tax transactions in the related period. It is recommended to:
- Run “Sales tax transactions extension” consistency check before the first use of the report when Date of VAT register parameter is activated in General ledger parameters (KB #4511202).
- Check whether there are tax transactions with empty Date of VAT register using VAT register transactionsperiodic task (KB #4511202) for each period you report Purchases and Sales Invoices Communications (Esterometro).
