I have created a journal to post to sales on vat but it is not showing on that vat report

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it seems that you can indeed post a journal that impacts the VAT report. However, there are a few things to consider: 1. The journal entry requires a debit and credit balance. The system may not recognize the amount of the tax code to balance the journal if the gross amount does not balance. 2. The tax line is its own journal line. You should be able to do journals with a tax code and tax amount (fields are available on the CSV import template). The journal has to balance at the Gross Amount level, and it creates the tax line automatically. 3. In order to see the tax code columns through the UI, you have to select a subsidiary for the journal first. 4. If you're having trouble seeing the tax/VAT field on journals, it might be due to the specific accounts you're using. 5. Advanced Intercompany journal entries can impact the UK VAT Report. However, if you're not seeing the transaction in any of the tax periods, it might be due to other factors. Remember to always double-check your entries and ensure they're balanced correctly. If you're still having trouble, it might be worth revisiting the way you're inputting the data or the specific accounts you're using. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
