Is it Possible to Track Manual TAX/VAT Amounts Inputs?

[felipeprevente]

Hi Experts,

We have a case where the VAT/TAX amount from a specific expense type, outputted in the reports/integration, is different from what it is supposed to be. Testing an expense creation as the user, we see the VAT/TAX amount field is editable and there is no rule for blocking it, so any input is accepted.

Before thinking about audit rules or any other ways to block it, I was wondering if we may capture these manual inputs in the Intelligence Reports, where it would be clear that a specific entry/line had a manual input.

Thanks in advance!
Felipe

@felipeprevente off the top of my head, I don't believe this is possible. I don't recall every seeing or hearing about the system tracking whether a field was auto-populated or manually inputted.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your reply. I was looking for a field/entry on the reporting side, but it seems we don't have such a thing.

Hi,

No, I didn't. Unfortunately.

Hi @felipeprevente , cc: @SharronL 

Just curious. I read you comment and get the impression that change of VAT/TAX amount field by the user is not expected/ to be blocked. Why not update the tax configuration to make the VAT/ TAX fields read-only or hidden to the user(s)?

Hi Rohan,

I do agree with you, and we have already made VAT read-only. But in this case, the goal was to capture expenses already processed with manual VAT inputs, where I wanted to know whether Intelligence has any field which tells us so.

Thanks for your response.
