Tab Form

Fields

The following fields are present on this tab :

Grid VAT boxes

  • VAT box (field VATBOX)

Enter a code for the VAT box.

The VAT box code defined here must be consistent with the VAT boxes setup (GESVTB).
  • Description (field DESLIN)

Enter a description for the VAT box.
  • Type (field TYPBOX)

Select a VAT box type:

  • Detail
  • Total
  • Format (field FLDTYP)

This field defaults to Numeric and cannot be modified.
  • Formula (field CLCFOR)

Enter a formula for a Total VAT box type.

There are specific formula syntax rules that must be followed:

You must enclose each VAT box within single quotes. For example, to include the total amount of two VAT boxes named B1 and B2, the formula would be: ‘B1’ + ‘B2’

The formula can only include VAT boxes previously defined, otherwise you receive an error. That is, a VAT box that is defined on a line above the line with the formula.

The formula can include complex operators such as: abs(-‘B1’ - ‘B2’)

A formula that includes a range of VAT boxes is not possible.

Select a predefined presentation style for the Form grid if available.

This option is only available if your organization created custom Presentation styles for grids.

Please be careful. The copy will overwrite the entire VAT form setup in the destination endpoint.

Error messages
