How to revive exception after VAT unfiling?

I had a VAT return with an exception from a previous period. I then found an issue and had the VAT return unfiled. The problem is that the exception no longer shows, and the VAT amount is out by that exception amount now.

 

How can I get the exception to show again, or what would the corresponding account be to journal against VAT payable to make the VAT return balance again?

 

I tried changing the date of the exception document (a bill) to see if it would create a new exception, but while it shows under Exceptions now, it shows as 0 and marked as "filed". So it seems while the VAT return was unfiled, the exceptions from that period stay as filed?

 

Thanks!
