# Creating and Editing Reconciliations in Lucanet VAT

## Overview

In the **Reconciliations** workspace in the **Master data** functional area in Lucanet VAT (Value Added Tax), you specify which reconciliations VAT performs for a period and a company and how these reconciliations are configured. VAT provides predefined reconciliations, for example the plausibility of VAT amounts in VAT report V00 as reconciliation 1 or the reconciliation with the European Sales List as reconciliation 9. You only perform reconciliations for which you store a configuration here in the [Reconciliations](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/income-taxes/vat/value-added-tax/performing-reconciliations.md) workspace in the **Value Added Tax** functional area. For a description of the individual reconciliations, see the [Editing Reconciliations 1 to 14](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/income-taxes/vat/value-added-tax/performing-reconciliations/editing-reconciliations-1-to-14.md) page.

You configure a reconciliation for all companies or for a single company.

## Navigation to the 'Reconciliations' Workspace in the Master Data of VAT

The **Reconciliations** workspace can be found under **VAT | Master data | Reconciliations** and is displayed as follows, for example:

![Shows the 'Reconciliations' workspace in the 'Master data' functional area in VAT for the company '2050 - Ausländischer Sitz' with the 'Search' field, the 'Add' button, the three-dot icon, and the columns 'Reconciliation', 'Status', 'For company', 'Execute', and 'Mandatory'. The table shows reconciliations 1 to 14, for example '1 Plausibility of VAT amounts in VAT report V00' with the status 'Active', the value 'All' in the 'For company' column, and the value 'VA' in the 'Execute' column, as well as '9 Reconciliation with ESL' with the value 'VA and ESL'.](https://support.lucanet.com/assets/docs-images/income-taxes/vat/master-data/create-and-edit-reconciliations/_images/en/reconciliations-overview-master.png)

## Configuring a Reconciliation in VAT

To create the configuration of a reconciliation in VAT, proceed as follows:

1. In the breadcrumb navigation, choose the period and the company for which you want to configure the reconciliation.

2. In the **Reconciliations** workspace, click **Add**. The page for configuring a reconciliation is displayed:

    ![Shows the page for configuring a reconciliation in VAT with the 'Save' button and the fields 'Reconciliation' with the value '1 - Plausibility of VAT amounts in VAT report V00', 'For company' with the value '2050', 'Execute' with the value 'VA', the 'Mandatory' check box, 'Limit for autom. corrections in euro', and 'Consider input tax positions'.](https://support.lucanet.com/assets/docs-images/income-taxes/vat/master-data/create-and-edit-reconciliations/_images/en/reconciliations-detailed-view.png)

3. In the **Reconciliation** field, choose the reconciliation that you want to configure.

4. Fill in the other fields. For a description of the fields, see the following tables.

5. Click **Save**.

The following fields are available for all reconciliations:

| Field | Description |
|---------|---------|
| Reconciliation | Specifies the reconciliation that you configure. If no configuration exists for a reconciliation, VAT does not perform the reconciliation in the **Value Added Tax** functional area. |
| For company | Specifies whether the configuration applies to all companies or only to the chosen company. VAT only takes the configuration for all companies into account if no separate configuration exists for a company. |
| Execute | Specifies whether and in which declaration VAT performs the reconciliation. VAT performs reconciliation 9 in the preliminary VAT return, in the European Sales List, or in both declarations; VAT performs all other reconciliations only in the preliminary VAT return. As a rule, perform reconciliation 9 in the declaration that you edit second, because all data for the reconciliation is available at that point. |
| Mandatory | Specifies that the reconciliation must be completed successfully. If a mandatory reconciliation is not successful, you cannot close the declaration. |

Depending on the chosen reconciliation, VAT displays additional fields. The following table describes the additional fields and the reconciliations for which the fields are available in VAT:

| Field | Description | Available for |
|---------|---------|---------|
| Tolerance limit in euro | Defines the amount up to which VAT tolerates a difference. | Reconciliations 2 to 6, 9, and 12 to 14 |
| Tolerance limit in % | Defines the tolerance limit as a percentage. | Reconciliation 9 |
| Limit for autom. corrections in euro | Defines the amount up to which VAT automatically corrects differences. You specify in the country settings whether VAT adjusts the base or the tax. Without a limit, every difference results in an error, including a rounding difference. | Reconciliation 1 |
| Consider input tax positions | Specifies that VAT also reconciles the input tax positions. | Reconciliation 1 |
| Resubmissions to no posting | Sets resubmissions that result from automatic adjustments automatically to **no posting necessary**. | Reconciliation 1 |
| Hide all zero values for | Specifies that VAT hides items with zero values in the reconciliation. | Reconciliations 4 to 6 |

## Editing the Configuration of a Reconciliation in VAT

To edit an existing configuration, click the reconciliation in the **Reconciliations** workspace. Adjust the fields and click **Save**.

## Further Functions of the 'Reconciliations' Workspace in the Master Data of VAT

In addition to the [general functions](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/income-taxes/vat/user-interface-general-functions.md), the **Show standard configurations** function is available via the three-dot menu (⋮) in the top right corner of the **Reconciliations** workspace in VAT. Use this function to display the configurations that apply to all companies in the table. To return to the configurations of the chosen company, select **Show unit configurations**.
