Hi David,
Did you have a question?
Your business was registered for VAT but you didn't issue VAT invoices. That's going to cause issues in Bullet re-engineering everything through our workflows.
Your best bet is to meet your accountant/bookkeeper and get them to work it out for you. They can use our manual journal entry system to circumvent the workflows in Bullet.
Those workflows are designed to work a certain way. They're simple cause we focus on the most common forward moving tasks. Other tasks usually involve accountant/bookkeeper intervention as their is context around them and therefore there are no workflows as there is a 100's of ways to fix a problem. But, your accountant/bookkeeper has the knowledge and doesn't need a workflow.
Thanks Pete

Ya no sorry, there's no problem, I was able to get around it fine as mentioned.
It was just feedback. Would have thought that invoices issued prior to vat date and paid after vat date would be a common enough scenario that's all.
Also on my other point, which I think you might have missed about displaying the net amount of the vat invoices as a total sonewhere, just thought it would be handy for users to see that figure as you have to enter it in on ROS when submitting VAT.

Cool - good points. Thanks David.

Also seeing some strange behaviour when trying to create an invoice with an issue date prior to my VAT reg date but that was paid after VAT reg date. I need to have the VAT included and shown on this invoice. When I create it the VAT shows fine but as soon as I click save the VAT disappears. I'm guessing it's because the issue date is prior to VAT reg date? But obviously if payment was received after the reg date I need it showing!

Had to resort to putting a false issued date on it.

When entering VAT in ROS they ask you to enter in total sales from goods or services (minus the VAT). Would be handy if you had that figure included on your VAT return page. You only should the VAT amount. Im having to work out the total from that.
