Field help (FLGFILDCLV)

Select this box to create the electronic file for an Actual or Regeneration process.

The flat file is generated based on the setup of the export template defined by the BELVATAOE - Belgian VAT file template parameter (LOC chapter, BEL group). If the file generation is performed for a group of legal companies, the template to apply is searched for at folder level of the parameter.

If the system cannot find a template during an Actual extraction, an error message appears in the log file. If there is no other blocking error, the tables are updated, and the preparatory report is generated.

After the template to use has been defined, you need to launch the regeneration of the file for the impacted VAT query for the file to be created.

When the VAT declaration is performed for a group of legal companies, a single file is generated for the entire group. This file displays the total of the declared amounts by VAT box and all the companies in the group are considered to complete the generation.

To meet the requirements of the component that converts the file into the format expected by the Belgian fiscal administration, the created file complies with the following coding:
BETVA_query number _ declaration start date-declaration end date_ file generation date and time.

For an Actual VAT declaration process, the flat file is only generated if no blocking error is detected.

When the extraction process detects an entry line with an attribute, like a tax code, that is not referenced in the VAT box management (either Detail or Off declaration VAT type), the impacted entry line is not considered and the log file shows an error. If a single error regarding the Detail VAT box type occurs, the flat file is not generated and the report has no content.

The generated flat file only contains Detail VAT box types.

For a Simulation VAT declaration process, the preparatory report prints and populates based on the processed entry lines, and no electronic file is generated.
