VAT Types - Upon the processing of documents, where vat is required, the drop-down menu will show the relevant VAT Type options.
When a block is ticked, the associated VAT table option will be displayed on the drop-down menu of the Vat Type field when processing the respective documents.
If you do not want this VAT table to be an option on the drop-down, un-tick the block and the VAT option will not be displayed when processing the document.
In this way the ticks can be effectively used to avoid staff from unknowingly choosing the incorrect VAT type when processing a specific document or transaction, thereby eliminating confusion on the VAT report.
