Submit Records

If the field description box gets in the way when submitting a record, simply click inside it and drag it to a new position

New company names and address records can be entered individually as you submit records

After a record has been submitted, the new company name will become available to select in the future. When you select a previously submitted company name from the drop-down selector, address fields will auto-populate

Company names and addresses will appear on Sales Invoices

Address records can also be added or amended directly in the Address Records table

Transaction Types

When you submit a record, you will be required to assign an appropriate transaction type from the drop-down selector provided

There are three built-in sales transaction types which are listed below:

·       S-Non-EU Sales – All UK sales and for sales into non-EU countries

·       S-EU Sales - All EU sales records

·       S-Credit Note – Return of funds

There are also 28 built-in expense transaction types plus five other transaction types (i.e. bank monies in and out)

All sales transaction types are prefixed with S-, Expense transactions are prefixed X-, Other-Money-In is prefixed with I- and Other-Money-Out is prefixed with O-, Capital Expenditure is prefixed with X-CPX

The complete list of available transaction types can be found in column C in the Setup sheet

Spare transaction types are available in the Setup sheet if required. If you overtype a spare transaction type name, it will immediately become available for you to select and will appear in all reports automatically

Period Codes

Transaction dates are translated into period codes which can be filtered in column E (cell E8). Examples of period lookup codes are:

·       YR1-Q1-M01* (year 1, quarter 1, month 1)

·       YR2-Q3* (year 2, quarter 3)

·       *Q3* (quarter 3, all years)

Recording VAT

To ensure that VAT is recorded and reported correctly, you must apply the correct VAT percentage rate and assign the appropriate transaction type

The HMRC website section: How to fill in and submit your VAT Return (VAT Notice 700/12) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) provides details

Payment Status

The updated payment status will then appear in your Submitted Records sheet (column Z)
