Scenario

Customer wants to know if the Business Activity Statement is picking up Invoice Date or Invoice Posting Period.

Example: Invoice created April 2020 but in March 2020 posting period and it is showing in April 2020 Business Activity Statement Report.

Solution

Business Activity Statement shows value from the transaction using the Tax Period.

Tax Period is not visible on transactions forms and it is respecting the transaction date. Hence, if the transaction date is April 2020, the tax period will be on April 2020.

Note: We also have an existing Enhancement to have the ability to select or set a tax period regardless of transaction date. This is filed under Enhancement number165499.
