Field help (GRUDCLVAT)

Enter or select the group code for a group of legal companies representing the VAT unit that  must be used to generate the VAT declaration.

In Actual mode, if there is at least one blocking error (e.g., missing setup in the VAT boxes function GESVTB) on one or several sites of the companies linked to the group, there is no update at all and if data has been updated for a site of the companies belonging to the group, they are deleted or removed.

For Regeneration mode, this field is populated with the original group of the query.

The companies in the group must have the same ledger currency and the BELVAT - Belgian VAT parameter (LOC chapter, BBEL group) must be set to Yes to all the companies in the group. However, they can have different legislations.

If the group contains at least one company of Belgian legislation and companies of other legislations, the system searches for the DCLVATBEL + Belgian legislation VAT boxes (DCLVATBEL + BEL) setup. If the DCLVATBEL + BEL legislation setup does not exist, the declaration process stops.

If the group does not contain any company with Belgian legislation, the system searches for the setup combining DCLVATBEL + the legislation of the first company of the group of companies (for example, DCLVATBEL + FRA). If the setup does not exist, the system searches for the setup combining DCLVATBEL + the legislation of the second company of the group, and so on.

If the system does not find any setup combining DCLVATBEL + a legislation, the VAT declaration process is not performed.

The Belgian VAT preparatory report (DCLVATDEBBEL1 and DCLVATDEBBEL2) displays the following information:

• Entry detail: The report displays the contents of the VAT boxes of Detail VAT box type by company.
• Summary by VAT box part: The report displays the total of the amounts by DetailVAT box box and for the entire group.

The Group (GRP field) in DCLVATBOXH/DCLVATBOXDBD  updates when DCLVATBEL is run.
