Imports VAT types, creating and updating their rates and the financial accounts used for VAT.
1. Select the action in the Action field. 2. Point to your data source – a file (CSV or Excel) or a SQL query. 3. Map the source columns to Sapera's fields in the column mapping (see Source fields below). 4. Run Compare to see what will be created, changed or stay unchanged – without writing to Sapera. 5. Run Update Sapera to perform the import.
Use the Allow create and Allow update parameters to control whether new rows are created and whether existing ones are updated.
Each row is matched on the VAT code (Code). Matching VAT types are updated and new ones created – with their rate and the financial accounts used for VAT. Direction: from file/SQL into Sapera.
