Re: [SYSTEM21] AOP and VAT

Greetings, Greg.

Regarding your question about OE-related entries in FLPUK4 (the VAT 
transactions file), it appears such entries get posted by FI551 - the AFI 
program that updates the GL. In other words, FLPUK4 records are created by 
AFI processing, not during invoicing. 

Assuming you have flagged all you VAT customers and that AFI is setup 
correctly, you can run option 1/FIP (AFI to GL update) manually for the OE 
application. Alternatively (and this is how we do it), you can create a 
Machine Manager entry to run FI task #0042 daily. The MM setup of this 
task will prompt you for a source application (OE), just as 1/FIP did.

I highly recommend you conduct extensive testing before doing this kind of 
setup in a production environment and that you have the accountants at 
your company review and vouch for the test results. If you do not have AFI 
configured, you will probably want a consultant to help you set up AFI and 
to train your  accountants to use/maintain it.

Best of luck.  By the way, we are at 3.5.2b SP 2.
