Open the 
Calc. and Post VAT Settlement window.
Closes open VAT entries and transfers purchase and sales VAT amounts to the VAT settlement account.
For every VAT posting group, the batch job finds all the VAT entries in the VAT Entry table that are included in the filters in the definition window.
When the VAT entries are closed, the Closed field in the VAT Entry table is marked. The entry number of the settlement entry that has closed the entry is inserted automatically in the Closed by Entry No. field. This happens only when the amount must be transferred between general ledger accounts.
When a VAT amount is transferred to the VAT settlement account, the account for purchase VAT is credited and the account for sales VAT is debited with the amount from the VAT statement period. The account numbers are found in the VAT Posting Setup table. The account for VAT settlement is credited with the net amount. If the purchase VAT amount is larger, it is debited.
You can use the batch job either to start the posting process or to print a test report.
The posted entries are assigned the dimensions from the general ledger accounts they are posted to.
