- Change the memorised transactions to include new VAT rates
How do I change my memorised transactions when the VAT rate changes?
Memorised transactions that use the Standard Rate VAT need to be re-memorised whenever the Standard Rate VAT changes. The best method is to create a new transaction with the new rate and replace the previous memorised transaction.
Follow the steps to replace the memorised transactions:
- Create a new transaction with the same information as the one that is memorised. Ensure that the new rate is implemented.
- From the Edit menu, select Memorise [transaction]. If it is an invoice, it will say Memorise Invoice.
- A Replace Memorised Transaction window appears. Click the Replace button to replace the original transaction.
Alternatively, if you have a transaction with many lines of information, you can choose to do the following:
- From the Lists menu, select Memorised Transaction List.
- Click to select the transaction you wish to update the VAT rate on.
- Click Enter Transaction to open the form. If it is an invoice, it opens the Create Invoices window.
- On each line item, click on the VAT Code in the VAT column. You should see a drop-down arrow.
- Click the drop-down arrow from the VAT column and temporarily select a different VAT code.
- Click the drop-down arrow from the VAT column again, and then select the correct VAT code.
- Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each line item.
- When all the line items are updated with the new VAT rate, memorise it.
- From the Edit menu, select Memorise [transaction]. If it is an invoice, it will say Memorise Invoice.
- A Replace Memorised Transaction window appears. Click the Replace button to replace the original transaction.
The VAT amount will change in the Total VAT field.
