## Steps of the Reporting Process in VAT
The steps displayed in the **Status** workspace in VAT depend on the company type, the kind of period, and the country configuration. Each section links to the workspace in which you perform the step.
### Import
You perform this step in the [Import](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/income-taxes/vat/value-added-tax/import-single-company.md) and [Mass Data Import](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/income-taxes/vat/value-added-tax/import-multiple-companies.md) workspaces.
**Availability:** This step is only present if the ERP import is configured for the company. If the declaration is created manually and in special prepayment periods, this step does not apply.
The import step is divided into three substeps: **V00 Import** (RFUMSV00), **V10 Import** (RFUMSV10), and **RFBILA Import** (RFBILA00). In the **Status** workspace in VAT, each substep shows the import status of the respective report:
| Status | Meaning |
|---------|---------|
| Not started | The report has not been imported yet. |
| Imported | The report was imported successfully. |
The log contains a compliance entry with action, date, time, and user for each import. If a report is imported several times, each import is recorded separately.
> **Note:** For VAT group members with company codes, the single step **Data transfer** replaces the three import steps. The step shows whether the declaration data has been transferred from the subordinate units.
### Manual Adjustments
You perform this step in the [Declaration](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/income-taxes/vat/value-added-tax/declaration-edit-finalise.md) workspace.
**Availability:** This step is always present.
The **Manual adjustments** step in VAT shows whether the declaration has been opened for editing, for example for manual adjustments of the imported values:
| Status | Meaning |
|---------|---------|
| Not started | The declaration has not yet been opened for editing. |
| Started | The declaration has been opened and can be edited. |
| Closed | Editing is complete, and the declaration has been closed. |
The log contains a compliance entry each time editing starts and each time the declaration is reopened after it was finalized. If the declaration is created manually, VAT creates an entry when the first declaration value is entered.
### Reconciliations
You perform this step in the [Reconciliations](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/income-taxes/vat/value-added-tax/performing-reconciliations.md) workspace.
**Availability:** This step is only present if reconciliations are configured for the company. In special prepayment periods, this step does not apply.
The **Reconciliations** step in VAT can have the following statuses:
| Status | Meaning |
|---------|---------|
| Not started | The reconciliations have not been performed yet. |
| With warnings | At least one reconciliation has warnings. |
| In tolerance | All reconciliations are within the configured tolerance. |
| Plausible | All reconciliations were completed without differences. |
| With errors | At least one reconciliation has errors. |
The log lists all configured reconciliations with their names. If there are errors, the respective error is indicated.
### Declaration
You perform this step in the [Declaration](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/income-taxes/vat/value-added-tax/declaration-edit-finalise.md) workspace and, for VAT groups, also in the [VAT Group Return](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/income-taxes/vat/value-added-tax/vat-group-return.md) workspace.
**Availability:** This step is always present. For representative VAT group members and consolidated VAT group members, the table shows an additional **VAT Group return** row that shows the status of the consolidated declaration.
The **Declaration** step in VAT can have the following statuses:
| Status | Meaning |
|---------|---------|
| Not closed | The declaration has not been finalized yet. |
| Closed | The declaration has been finalized. |
The log contains a compliance entry each time the declaration is finalized, with date, time, user, and the correction version.
### Review
For more information about the review, see the [Month Overview](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/income-taxes/vat/value-added-tax/monthly-overview.md#review-in-vat) page.
**Availability:** This step is displayed if the review step is activated in the country settings. It can be performed once before and once after the transmission.
> **Note:** You configure the review step under **Settings | Countries**. Click a country to open the edit view, and activate the required review option in the **System Settings** section.
The **Review** step in VAT can have the following statuses:
| Status | Meaning |
|---------|---------|
| Not performed | No review has been performed yet. |
| Review removed | A previously added review has been reset. |
| Review added | The review has been performed successfully. |
The log contains a compliance entry for each review performed or reset, including the correction version.
### Transmission
You perform this step in the [Send declaration](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/income-taxes/vat/value-added-tax/send-declaration.md) workspace.
**Availability:** This step is present if electronic transmission is configured. For representative VAT group members, the table also shows the **Group Transmission** step, which shows the transmission status of the consolidated declaration of the VAT group.
The **Transmission** step in VAT can have the following statuses:
| Status | Meaning |
|---------|---------|
| Not sent | The declaration has not been transmitted yet. |
| Sending | The transmission is currently running. |
| Sent | The declaration was transmitted successfully. |
