The
...
workflow
...
in
...
the
...
GTC
...
main
...
dialogue
...
Company
...
is
...
based
...
on
...
a
...
milestone
...
concept.
...
Thus
...
individual
...
activities,
...
for
...
example,
...
calculation
...
of
...
current
...
and
...
deferred
...
taxes,
...
are
...
systematised.
...
In
...
addition,
...
this
...
concept
...
ensures
...
a
...
review
...
process
...
(the
...
four-eye
...
principle
...
).
...
Milestones
...
are
...
created
...
per
...
company
...
and
...
per
...
period.
...
There
...
is
...
a
...
possibility
...
to
...
view
...
statuses
...
for
...
all
...
group
...
companies
...
based
...
on
...
milestones
...
in
...
the
...
main
...
dialogue
...
(Sub-
...
) Group.
By default,
...
there
...
are
...
three
...
milestones
...
or
...
activity
...
areas
...
available
...
(Current
...
Taxes,
...
Deferred
...
Taxes,
...
and
...
Tax
...
Rate
...
Reconciliation
...
).
...
The
...
number
...
of
...
milestones
...
can
...
be
...
customised
...
(e.g.
...
add
...
a
...
milestone
...
not started
...
...
Review). The figure below contains additional milestones Others and Questionnaire. 
The status of the milestones on the figure is not started. Thus, individual dialogues cannot be accessed. When trying to open one of the dialogues, a corresponding notification is shown.
Milestones will always have this status if you work with a company for the first time in a period. The process in the GTC is started when clicking on the milestone; its status changes to in process. The following table contains possible states:
not started |
| Initial status (e.g. when creating a new period]; dialogues cannot be opened or edited. When clicking on the milestone the status changes to in process. |
|---|---|---|
in process |
| Dialogues can be edited. In addition, this status means that the dialogues have not been saved yet or that validation errors have been found. |
data ok |
| Dialogues have been saved; validations do not contain errors [(a possible validation error is, for example, not balanced account]). A further processing of dialogues is still possible. |
finished |
| The status 'finished' is set after clicking on the milestone with the data ok status. This indicates that, e.g. work on deferred taxes is finished. In addition, this status means that the corresponding dialogues are closed for editing and can be viewed in the read mode only. |
Checked |
| The milestone checked is used to ensure the four-eye principle. The status is changed to checked when clicking on the milestone with the finished status. |
