How to link a document to a locked VAT period?

You are trying to link a revenue or expense to a quarter, but the quarter is greyed-out? The VAT period is marked as "submitted" or "paid".

Why is the VAT period not selectable in a revenue or expense?

When a VAT period is marked as submitted or paid in Accountable, it is locked for editing. New documents are reported in the next VAT declaration instead. If the current quarter was marked as submitted or paid by mistake, you will not be able to link documents to it until you unlock it.

How can you unlock the situation?

Mark the VAT period as "not done" to open the quarter again.

​

Go to the Taxes screen and click on the quarter concerned:

  • VAT submission: click on "Mark as not submitted"

  • VAT Payment: click on "Mark as not paid".

After that, you can add a revenue or expense to the current quarter.
