Review and validate VAT-included entries

The VAT reconciliation validates that the VAT calculated from goods and services purchased and sold is identical to the VAT amount entered to the general ledger. Deviations are found when a calculated VAT amount (sales * VAT%) differs from the amount posted on the VAT accounts.

Manual entries made directly to the general ledger account linked to a VAT code will generate a deviation.
