Field help (VATBOX)

Enter a code for the VAT box. This code can contain up to five alphanumeric characters using uppercase letters. This field is mandatory.

The box code must be unique to a Declaration + Company legislation setup.

To modify or delete a box code that is referenced in the Detail section (Detail or Off declaration box types), you must first delete the combinations linked to this box code in the Detail section.

Note: Consistency controls for deleting and modifying Title, Detail, and Total VAT box code types are enforced as follows:

Step 1: When you try to delete or modify a VAT box, a control runs to check if this VAT box has the same VAT declaration in the VAT box header table (DCLVATBOXH) and for a declaration in actual mode on a company with the same legislation. If yes, the deletion or modification process is prevented through a blocking message. If not, the second verification step runs.

Step 2: If the VAT box has the same VAT declaration on a company group in the VAT box header table (DCLVATBOXH), for a declaration in actual mode, you receive a warning message. If no such data is found in this table, you can delete or modify as needed.

When saving the setup, the VAT boxes are not sorted in any specific order. They are displayed in the order in which they were entered in the VAT declaration preparatory reports and in the extracted VAT return. The VAT return is based on the VAT form setup that must be consistent with the VAT box setup.

For the Belgian VAT declaration (DCLVATBEL), a flat file setup is provided and meets the requirements of the component which converts the VAT file into the format expected by the Belgian federal administration. The defined box codes must be two-character, numerical box codes that match the Belgian VAT codes (01, 02, etc.).
