When
creating or editing a custom data cleansing check, AlphaVAT will
provide you with the option to apply a treatment
to the results of the check. The treatment options and their effects
are as follows:
Report results only:
Choosing this option will ensure that AlphaVAT does not apply
an any automatic treatments to the results and will present
you with the results to manually review and action if required. Block all results of
this check: Choosing this option will ensure that AlphaVAT
automatically blocks the VAT on all results of the check.
The VAT amount will not be used in the box calculations for
the VAT Return, the Net amount will still be utilised. Exclude all results
of this check: Choosing this option will ensure that
AlphaVAT automatically excludes all results of the check from
the VAT Return. The VAT and Net amounts will not be used in
the box calculations for the VAT Return.
Once set up, the custom data cleansing check will run for every
subsequent period. The check will be run at the point a calculation
is run from the Map files
tab.
Important points to note:
If a single transaction is caught by multiple checks
with either the Block all
results of this check or Exclude
all results of this check treatments applied, AlphaVAT
will give precedence to the harshest treatment.
For example, an Exclude will take precedence over Block and
Report results treatment. Block will take precedence over
Report results.
If a single transaction is caught by a check but already
has a treatment that has been manually applied, i.e., manually
Blocked, then this will take precedence over any automatic
treatment applied.
For example, a manually blocked transaction will remain blocked
even if caught by a check that Excludes transactions automatically. If a check is added after a calculation has been run
for an open VAT Return obligation, then the check will only
be included if you navigate to the VAT
calculation options tab and reconfirm the options followed
by initiating another calculation from the Map
files tab. |
