Prepare VAT Entries for Posting

You may want to periodically remit the net VAT from sales and purchase transactions to the tax authorities. You can use the VAT Settlement Worksheet to prepare transactions with open VAT amounts for posting and copy the entries to the appropriate VAT settlement journal. This is typically done before you run the Calc. and Post VAT Settlement batch job to post and close VAT entries.
