Backdating Vat automatically

Lesleyella · ‎July 20, 2023

Can you please help? I have been waiting months for a VAT Number and have finally got one. I need to pay or claim Vat going back to 1st Feb 2023. I have set the Vat up on Quickbooks and tested one invoice to see if it works and yes it does. My problem now is over the months since 1st Feb I have entered hundreds of invoices and payments from customers so is there an automatic way I can change them to show the Vat value or do I have to edit each one separately?

Hello Lesleyella, thanks for posting on the Community page, it will be a case of you having to go in and edit each one separately, there is no way do the edit in bulk or automatically for you.

PLEASE can someone tell me how to go about editing hundreds of invoices and payments to change them into Vatable items. I have only just got my Vat Number through and I have to go back and edit all items from Feb 2023. I have no idea how to do this. Can someone tell me in very simple terms what I should do please?

Hello Lesleyella, it will be a case of having to go into each transactions separately and changing the vat code to what it needs to be and then saving them. There is no way to do it in bulk or in one go. You have to go into each one separately and changing them, save then then on to the next one.

So for example

Go to sales> invoices> click on one edit it, save it then click onto the next one edit it save it and so on and so on.

There is no other way of doing it.
