Content Enhancements

Czechia ESL number of supplies:
An improvement was made to how the count on the
Number of supplies
field is performed. Now the unique InvoiceID is considered as one document in the count to ensure the aggregation represents the number of documents per customer and indicator (type of transaction) individually. Previously the count showed the total number of line item transactions per customer and indicator. As an example, two transaction lines for same counterparty and indicator sharing the same InvoiceID will be counted as one for the
Number of supplies
field, as required by the tax authorities.

E-Filing Updates

We are pleased to announce we have expanded our e-filing coverage in this release. The following returns and listings can now be exported in filing formats required for submission on the Tax Authority portals:
  • Slovenia ESL .xml format
  • Slovakia VAT return .xml format. A separate company information sheet was added under the main return and must be populated for VAT e-filing.
We have also added other updates:
  • UK MTD: We updated the fraud prevention headers as per specifications provided by HMRC.

SAF-T Updates

  • Lithuania SAFT:
    Added a condition to fields with total amount sums to only perform the calculations if the underlying optional fields have values. Previously if these optional fields were not populated, the report would fail.
  • Romania SAF-T:
    Added a setting to suppress optional elements FirstName and LastName in section
    Contact
    in MasterData when no information is provided.
  • SAF-T Warnings for DTR- Invoices:
    We have updated the SAF-T warnings based on customer feedback. The change is applicable for sales and purchases as they have different required fields, but customers use the same imported data.
To solve for this, we have introduced the ability to select if the warning is applicable to sales or purchases with two new columns under the SAF-T warnings screen for DTR- Invoices type.
For customers wanting to use this updated granularity of SAF-T warnings, a change with the configuration in the import specification is required. Please contact the Implementation team for more information.

General Updates

Imports
  • GL Reconciliation for ACC Countries: Users will be able to import GL Data corresponding to ACC countries, and run reconciliation reports as needed. This enhancement is to enhance the functionality available for jurisdictions covered with the ACC solution to more closely align with the checks and validations customers can perform on standard ONESOURCE Indirect Tax Compliance content.
  • FX rate calculations: A new setting has been introduced to control reverse / indirect currency exchange rate calculations where there are missing rates on custom exchange rate sources. By default, missing exchange rate pairings in custom warnings trigger an error. However, this setting can be used to enable reverse / indirect calculation of rates, whereby missing rates are derived from other available exchange rate pairings mapped in the custom exchange rate source.
  • Update on Norway Digital import: A import issue was resolved for Norway digital where an import with a tax close to 250 characters was stuck in file process status.
Returns
  • Return Errors: We resolved the issue where the returns errors page was loading as blank in certain scenarios.
  • ACC Returns: We have corrected the issue with ACC (Accelerated Customer Content) returns intermittently experiencing latency with imports.
Reports
  • UAE Refund report: A new report was added to support populating the UAE refund form.
  • Reports performance: Substantial enhancements were made to reconciliation report performance, with a roughly 40% improvement in time taken to run reports over large volumes. The reconciliation report can now output up to 2 million output rows, an improvement from 1.2 million limitation previously.
  • Lookup tables: Enhancement were made to allow users to pre-filter data drawn to reconciliation reports by using lookup tables. Some customizations to reports may be required. Contact your TR contact for more information.
Other
API Expansion: Updating externally available endpoints for OIC API suite to allow customers to manage the master data contained within the entity manager. Documentation will be added to the developer portal post approval from the TR API Guild. For more information on APIs available, contact your TR representative.
