The Comparison view of corrections workspace in Lucanet VAT (Value Added Tax) shows two correction versions of a declaration side by side and displays the difference between the two versions. This lets you see at a glance which fields have changed between the chosen correction versions. The view is available for both the Declaration and the VAT Group Return.
The Comparison view of corrections workspace can be found under VAT | Value Added Tax | Comparison view of corrections and is displayed as follows, for example:
In the upper area of the Comparison view of corrections workspace in VAT, you choose the correction versions that you want to compare via two drop-down lists:
First drop-down list: Choose the reference correction. The original declaration is not available here, because at least one correction is required as a reference.
Second drop-down list: Choose the correction that you want to compare with. Only corrections with a lower number than the reference correction are available. Correction 0 corresponds to the original declaration.
The Declaration type: drop-down list is only visible for representative VAT group members and consolidated VAT group members. There you switch between the comparison view for the Declaration and the VAT Group return.
The comparison view only contains values once at least one correction has been created for the chosen company and period.
