Whether Lucanet VAT (Value Added Tax) can perform the individual reconciliations 1 to 14 in a country depends on the form of the country. Most reconciliations are country-neutral and available in every country. Four reconciliations require specific reporting fields in the form of the country and are therefore available only in some of the countries.

For how to perform the reconciliations, see Performing Reconciliations. For what each reconciliation checks and how to edit an incorrect item, see Editing Reconciliations 1 to 14.

VAT performs the following reconciliations in every country, provided that the required import data is available and the reconciliation is configured in the master data:
