A user can change VAT rate from the level of:
- items list – to do so, in column VAT Rate After Correction, it is necessary to expand the list and select appropriate VAT rate
- item details – do to so, it is necessary to edit an item and in section Calculation – After Correction, in the field with VAT rate, indicate a correct value
Form of item details allows for editing VAT rate in the section Calculation – After Correction. Changing the value of this field causes an automatic recalculation of subtotal or total value and of correction value.
In case VAT rate correction document is issued:
- on total – a correction subtotal value is calculated
- on subtotal – a correction total value is calculated
- SOR/2018/00001 is issued for 1 pc of item TSD amounting to a subtotal value of 1,24 USD and 23% VAT rate
- SOR/2018/00002 is issued for 1 pc of item TSD amounting to a subtotal value of 1,24 USD and 20% VAT
- One invoice is generated from the warehouse documents
- A VAT rate correction is then generated to the SI. The VAT rate is changed from 23% to 8%, thus total value of the document is reduced by 0,37 USD
- The correction is next confirmed
- In the effect, the following two VAT rate corrections were created automatically to documents: SOR/2018/00001 and SOR/2018/00002:
- SORTC/2018/00001 amounting to a total value of -0,19 USD
- SORTC/2018/00002 amounting to a total value of -0,19 USD
A VAT table contains two records: the first one is retrieved from the source document and the second record applies to the modified VAT rate.

A VAT rate correction can be issued:
- to a confirmed SI/R/SOR document
- to a trade document from which one warehouse document has been generated
- when the associated document has been confirmed/posted
- only to a trade document if it is associated with a warehouse document
- when all the corrections, that are associated with the source document, have been confirmed
A VAT rate correction can be confirmed only when all the items, aggregated in a warehouse document into one item, have been corrected in the invoice.
- A SI is issued for two of the same item TSD, in the same quantity of 1 pc and in the same price of 5 USD
- The document is confirmed
- A SOR document is generated to the SI automatically; the items in the warehouse document are aggregated to one item
- A VAT rate correction is then generated, in which only one of the items is corrected
- When attempting to confirm the correction, the system displays a message informing that it is impossible to confirm it, because not all the items, aggregated into one item in the warehouse document, have been corrected
- Then, the second item is corrected, where VAT rate is changed to the same rate as on the first item
- The SI document is confirmed
- A VAT correction (SORTC) is generated automatically to the warehouse document for all items
Confirmation of VAT rate correction generates the following:
- a relevant warehouse document (if the source document is associated with a warehouse document)
- VAT invoice correction
- Payment (if VAT direction is set in a document to: From subtotal)
Cancellation of VAT rate correction (SITC, RTC) cancels automatically a warehouse document and its correction from the level of VAT accounts.
