a brief history first: there is an invoice that I at first did not receive from my supplier. I finally received a duplicate, but its date is in a period for which my VAT report has already been sent.
What is the best way to deal with that ? If I set «accounting date» to today, will it appear in this month’s VAT report ? Or do I just encode it with today’s date and a comment for the real date ?
You can set the invoice date at the date marked on the invoice so the payment term starts from there. And set the accounting date to a more appropriate date because it will be the date for the booking (which is also the date for tax reporting).
