VAT Settlement in BC

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 318

I have made a bit of a mistake re calc the post VAT settlement for a prior period before I released the VAT return – BUT I did take a copy of the company luckily. I really need some help as I have told the team to stop work – I don’t know if I need to restore or rename the copied company etc. I am not sure where to go from here – please can someone help me? I haven’t done this before.

I have the same question (0)

    Basically, I took a copy of the company before VAT submission (habit). Stupidly I calc and posted VAT from the prior period BEFORE I released the VAT return – so the return then changed! All I need to do is somehow get the copied company back on Live and carry on as we were. But I don’t know how to do this

    How did You do the copy?
    There are several ways and restoring depends how it was done.
    easiest way - would be if You have Just copied the company in the Company List. 
    Then it could be that You can delete the Original company, and do a Copy of the Copy again and give the Original name again. That way all web services or integrations will work again (if there were any).  Might want to make a DB copy if possible before doing this :)


    If You did an Export to a data file, then You can do an Import of data file 

    Other way would be an SQL or Azure side copy of whole DB.
