When you select the Cash Accounting option in the Administration Panel, the Posting tab will appear in the VAT form.
For entering the correct accounts, see Settings in the Document Type Settings.
1. Transferring Posts
Because with cash accounting, VAT on invoices is regularly posted to temporary accounts for retained VAT, once payment has been made in a given tax period it must be posted to the regular VAT accounts set in the Document Types settings.
| Period from | The period FROM which you are creating a VAT account (the first period included in the account). The program will automatically copy this information from the VAT account. |
| Period to | The period TO which you are creating a VAT account (the last period included in the account). The program will automatically copy this information from the VAT account. |
| Date | The date the VAT account was created. The program will automatically copy the date from the VAT account. |
| Posting | Select whether you would like to create a new journal entry or post to an already existing journal entry. See Creating a Journal Entry. |
Posting Type
| Summary by Accounts | Select this option if you would like to transfer posts summarily by accounts. |
| Detailed by Documents | Select this option if you would like to transfer posts by accounts (detailed). |
When you click the Transfer Posts button, the program will return a message: Do you really want to repost the temporary accounts?
The posting will be successful if the account settings on the level of the document type are correct. If the posting was not successfully done due to data pertaining to individual document types, see the following topics to find out why: VAT Account Errors and Messages for VAT Accounting with Cash Accounting System.
 | There are no controls in the program to check whether a transfer of posts has already been done, which is why you must make sure a post has not already been made for the period before transferring posts.

2. Posting VAT
Once you've posted the transfer of posts from temporary accounts for VAT to regular VAT accounts, you must also post the transfer of posts from from regular VAT accounts to receivables accounts for the refund of the difference between input VAT and accounted VAT, or to the payables accounts if the difference between input VAT and accounted VAT must be paid, for the tax period.
