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

After submitting a VAT return, the app will lock the VAT period for editing, so it's not possible to make changes (new documents will be reported into the next VAT declaration).

It may happen that the current quarter is marked as submitted and paid by mistake. While adding an expense to the current quarter, you will see the following message:

How can you unlock the situation?

Simply mark the VAT period as “not done" in order to open the quarter again.

You need to go to the Taxes screen, click on the quarter concerned :

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

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

After that, you'll be able to add a revenue or expense to the current quarter.
