Converting VAT Taxes to GTM
This section describes converting to GTM from MFG/PRO’s VAT system.
VAT to GTM Conversion Process
The VAT to GTM conversion translates VAT data to GTM equivalents and updates existing records.
VAT to GTM Conversion Process summarizes the conversion work flow, which revolves around three sets of activities.
Implementing GTM
Implementing GTM for VAT, you make planning decisions and then run a setup program. How this program works depends on whether a country is a member of the European Community. See
here.
Converting Master Records
Run a program that populates database tables for customer and supplier addresses, items, product lines, and other master records with GTM data values. See
here.
Converting Transaction Records
Run a second program that populates transaction records. All transactions subject to tax are affected, including sales, purchasing, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and service/support management. See
here.
Important: After each of these activities, review the corresponding reports and audit trails. Mistakes can be pervasive and costly.
