Overview
Overview of Enhanced Transaction Tracking
With your system set up to use Enhanced Transaction Tracking and European Tax, functionality is provided for key financial reports to have effective date ranges and posted date ranges for selection as well as period/year ranges
Where this is not already the case:
Report selections are printed on page 1 of the report
The username of the user running the report is printed on the header
‘End of Report’ is printed on the last page
Although the actual date is always stored with each General Ledger transaction, this has been made more visible on screens and reports – the date terminology used has also been reviewed to eliminate inconsistencies
A number of controls, seen as valuable additions to the software wherever it is being implemented, but particularly on larger sites where control issues arise, are also included – examples include control over changes to Calendar dates and VAT rates and report headings for VAT which now show Input VAT or Output VAT dependent on ledger

Invoices
When the VAT is calculated/entered and there is a tolerance % defined for the VAT code used, only invoices where the VAT amount passes the tolerance check are accepted
If the tolerance % is exceeded, an error message is displayed
If no tolerance value exists for a VAT code the VAT amount is accepted regardless of the amount
Notes: If the invoice contains VAT lines only, the F12 VAT calculation is not forced and no tolerance checking is performed
These features are only enforced if this project (DA1245) is licensed and system key CEGENCONT is set to YES
For Accounts Receivable invoices (only), the system checks that the effective date is the same as the invoice date – an error message is displayed if they are different
