Help, something's wrong!

If an invoice has been posted to the wrong account, it is due to the sales category on the articles found on the invoice. To correct this, you need to void the invoice by selecting Actions - Void invoice. After you have voided the invoice, go to the article and review the sales category that is selected. Either you need to change to a new correct sales category, or change the settings for the selected sales category. You do this by going to Settings - Sales VAT and ledger settings and Edit the sales category.

Then create a new invoice and it will be posted according to your sales category.

In this case you have to void the invoice and create a new one. When you void the invoice a credit note is created in the program. The credit note will then automatically offset the original invoice.

To void the invoice, click on the invoice you wish to remove in the purchase invoices overview and select Actions - Void invoice. Read more in Void a sales invoice.

You cannot make changes to an already paid sales invoice. Instead you have to cancel it out by creating a credit note with the same date, article and amount as the original invoice.

If you want to match a bank transaction with a total sum for several transactions, you match the bank transaction as usual under Cash and Bank. Select the first accounting transaction, for example, a sales invoice payment. There is now a remaining amount left to reconcile, and to match this sum, select Add another..., and choose a new transaction to match the sum against.

If you want to match several bank transactions against one purchase/withdrawal, you can select multiple transactions using the checkboxes in Cash and bank to match all at the same time. After selecting the transactions, choose Match all selected.

Single transactions are easily deleted by selecting the paper bin on the far right.

If, on the other hand, you want to delete several bank transactions at once, you can do so by selecting Delete multiple from the tab Bank transactions this period, or via Actions - Delete multiple from the tab All unreconciled bank transactions.

If the journal entry includes the account 1930, we recommend that you undo the matching for the bank transaction under Cash and Bank. After undoing the matching you can change the detail for the transaction, or match it again with the correct ledger account.

When you have entered the incorrect account, amount or date on a manual journal entry that does not include the account 1930, you can correct it directly by opening the journal entry from the overview in Accounting - Journal entries. It is also possible to delete the last manually created journal entry, provided it does not include the accounts 1510, 2440 or the 19XX series. Read more in Adjust preliminary journal entries.

2. Select Edit.
3. Select Actions - Create a correcting entry.
4. Check the box next to the row that requires correction, or in case everything should be corrected check Select all. The amount in the correction entry should then be reversed and placed in the opposite column.

If you have started creating VAT reports for earlier periods, you must create them in chronological order. You cannot skip a period.

When you create the VAT report, the program checks if the estimated VAT corresponds to the VAT rate for the ledger account you have used. If the numbers do not align, the program will flag that there are deviations.

If the Journal entries to check dialogue shows that you have a Deviating sum, you should verify that you have:

• Posted the correct amounts to the ledger
• Posted to the correct ledger accounts
• Used the correct VAT codes

If you have posted your VAT report for a specific month, and then create a new journal entry for the same month, this journal entry will be added to the VAT report for the next month. Since the journal entry was created in the previous month, the VAT check will then flag that there is a deviation.

Please contact Skatteverket to check if you should undo the VAT report for the previous period and resubmit the corrected one. Read more in Correcting VAT report from earlier period.

If you think that an amount in one of the VAT report boxes is too high or too low, it could for example be due to missing invoices or that you have posted an invoice that was part of another VAT period. To see which journal entries that are included in the total amount of that box, click on the icon to the right of the box.

Tip! If you for example suspect that your sales in box 05 are too high or low, you can go to Sales - Sales invoices, the tab All sales invoices and enter the date range for that VAT period. This way you can verify that all invoices are correct and included in the VAT period as well as make any necessary corrections.

If no purchases have been made for this VAT period, the box should be empty. However, if purchases have been made and no VAT amount is shown in box 48, it could be due to missing purchase invoices or receipts.

Follow the steps below to check for missing purchase invoices.

1. Go to Purchasing - Purchase invoices.
2. Select the dates for the VAT period you are working on.
3. Check that all purchase invoices are correct and included in the report.

Follow the steps below to check for missing purchase receipts.

1. Go to Accounting - Journal Entries.
2. Select the dates for the VAT period you are working on.
3. Select Purchase with receipt in the Transaction type drop-down menu.
4. Check that all purchase receipts are correct and included in the report.

If no amount is shown in box 48, it could also be because you have used an account that is not linked to VAT code 48. If this is the case, the easiest fix is to change the VAT codes on the journal entries that are incorrect. To do this, go to Accounting - Journal entries, choose the journal entry you want to edit, select Open and change the VAT code on the entry.

Select Accounting - Journal entries and open the journal entry you want to correct. Add VAT code 05 on the row with account 6351. Select Save.

To avoid deviations due to the posting of any future confirmed bad debt, you can add the VAT code 05 to ledger account 6351 - Konstaterade förluster på kundfordringar. You do that by editing the ledger account under Settings - Chart of accounts.

If you have already submitted the VAT report, you first need to contact Skatteverket to check if you should submit a correction of the VAT report or if you should add the input VAT you forgot to add to this VAT report to the next one instead.

If Skatteverket want you to submit a correction, this is how you do it in the program:

1. Go to Accounting - VAT report.
2. Select the VAT report you want to correct and choose Actions - Undo.
3. Create a new VAT report with the VAT previously forgot to add.
4. Submit the new file to Skatteverket.

If you cannot create a VAT report, it may be because you have already posted the VAT period. You can check this under Accounting - VAT report and look in the list view to see if the period has already been created.

If you have entered the wrong VAT period, you can change it in the field VAT period under Settings - Company settings - Accounting settings. Select Save when you are done.
