VAT orders

A1 proofreading not yet effective for this page. In the meantime, you can ask any questions on the forum.

VAT orders are calculated automatically, at the end of the monthly VAT calculation.

They record for each month the VAT due and the VAT to be deducted (from which the VAT balance results).

Any state VAT refunds are taken into account.

It is possible to lock VAT orders: once a VAT order is locked, any modification to a receipt/disbursement which would impact it would be refused. It is suggested to lock the orders monthly or annually, before communicating your FEC to the accountant.

Access: Accounting → VAT orders

When you first access the screen, if you have recorded some accounting entries, a message will invite you to calculate the VAT for your first month of fiscal year.

If the date suits you, click OK, then click the Generate button

Once the VAT calculation has been carried out, the VAT order is generated. You can access it via the Arr VAT button, which will open the screen below.

The Print button allows you to request the printing of the detailed ECR7 statement of the entries leading to the VAT calculation, as well as the CERFA CA3 form used by the French administration for the monthly VAT declaration.

VAT orders are presented by accounting year: you must have 12 at the end of a complete financial year.

The context menu allows you to lock or unlock a VAT order.

Locking a VAT order ensures that no subsequent modification of receipt or disbursement will inadvertently modify the order.

You can manually modify the balances shown on the statement. If the statement is not locked, the balances will be updated if a new calculation for the month is requested, while they will be unchanged if the statement is locked. This possibly makes it possible to start from a situation with known balances, on the basis of these balances without recalculation.
