3. The Diagnostic configuration section

The Diagnostic Configuration section is only applicable to AlphaVAT customers.  

This section contains a list of diagnostic checks that AlphaVAT can perform on your entity’s data.  These options are entity specific, so you can have different configurations for each of your entities.

These options can be configured according to your preferences, but the default settings have them all switched on.  The current list of diagnostic checks that you can customise is:

• Out of period data - Post-period

• Out of period data - Pre-period

• Possible duplicate transactions

• VAT Rate  

For more information on these diagnostic checks and what they do, please refer to the Diagnostic configuration options help page.

Where can I view the results of these diagnostic checks?

When you run your entity’s VAT Calculation, AlphaVAT will validate your data by performing all the diagnostic checks that are switched on.  

Should your data fail on any of these validation checks, then the results will be displayed in the To be reviewed report. Here you will be able to view and fix any data issues.  For more information see the AlphaVAT Reports guidance.

Why would I customise these options for my entity?

There are a number of reasons why you might want to change the default settings for your entity’s diagnostic validation checks.  

It may be that you already run some of these validation checks when preparing your data and therefore you know that your data will not fail on them. If this were the case, then it would not be necessary for AlphaVAT to also perform these validation checks, so you could customise your configuration options to turn off some or all of them.
