Supplier records in Dimensions allow setting a specific VAT status in order to account for the VATable transactions according to HMRC legislations.
If a Supplier Record has been saved with the incorrect VAT status against the record or perhaps even the wrong country record then the VAT status can only then be updated providing there have been no posted transactions to the account.
If transactions have been posted then when clicking on the Edit from the supplier record it would not be possible to select VAT status as this then becomes a disabled button.
With a supplier record there is only one option to changing a VAT status and this is to create a new supplier record with the correct VAT status and mark the old supplier record as Inactive.
In order to update the incorrect supplier record to an Inactive status:
Click Creditors, Suppliers.
Locate and select the required supplier record.
Click Edit, Info.
Select the Inactive check box.
Click Save.
