Setup VAT-Audit

Settings and Master data VAT-Audit

The master data for the VAT-Audit module can be found under the master data tab.

The desired audits are configured here and saved with individual names.

The audits can be filtered by:

• Periods (Explanations see user manual VAT@GTC)
• Companies (Explanations see user manual VAT@GTC)
• Category

Category

Under category all audit templates are listed, from which the audits can be individually adapted to one's own needs or according to the searched parameters.

Deposit of the user credentials for SAP

The user credentials for SAP, which are required to jump directly from the VAT-Audit to the SAP GUI, are stored individually for each user under Settings → User credentials, if they are different from the user's login in VAT@GTC.

In this case, if the SAP login corresponds to the VAT@GTC login, no further data is stored in the VAT@GTC, as the system automatically logs into SAP with the VAT@GTC login. The SAP login is stored by creating a new account.

The following parameters must be selected for this purpose:

The user credential must be deposited by the respective user himself.

User credentials

SNC encryption

VAT-Audit supports SNC encryption, which can be activated in the respective connection parameter. By ticking "Use SNC", the encryption is activated and the following parameters must be added:

SMTP E-Mail Server

The VAT-Audit allows the use of an SMTP server both with and without authentication. Should the use take place without authentication, no user data/password are to be entered in the user credentials. The server must be configured only once in the connection parameters.

Create an Audit

In order for the transaction data from SAP to be audited in the VAT audit, the audits must be created in advance.

Category selection

The desired category must be selected, as well as the correct period and company (or --- for all companies). Clicking the "Create" button creates the exam.

Name and description 

In the next step, the created audit can be given an indvidual name and an own description (e.g. the purpose) can be added. The process is completed by clicking the "Save" button.

Audit details

Finally, the audit is filled with life. Here, for example, parameters for countries, tax codes and reversal are specified. Note that depending on the test, parameters may be limited to a maximum of one. Once the audit has been configured, the creation of the audit is completed by clicking the "Save" button and the "←Audits" button takes you back to the overview. The audit can now be used.

Edit an existing audit

By clicking the "pencil button" of the respective audit, you can edit it again (see details of the audit).

View of the audit (description)

By clicking the "magnifying glass" you can call up the detailed description of the audit again, but only for viewing and not for editing.

Deleting an audit

By clicking the "bin" you can delete the respective audit.
