Prerequisites

You must perform these tasks to use VAT groups for UK Tax Reporting:

  • Set up a folder connection point that will hold the VAT Report files in non-BOD format such as XML, which uses old VAT100 format, or JSON files.

    See Infor Localization Services Platform Administration Guide.

  • Use this file naming convention for XMLs and JSON files:

    <Accounting Entity ID>;<VRN>;<Date From and To>;<Document ID>(<Version>)

    See this example:

    ABC_123;GB-123456789;20190101-20190331;123-5678(1)

    This table shows the elements in the file name:
