Understanding Format Codes for Document Types

The Taiwanese government requires that you use specific formats for various transactions. Instead of entering the format code for each transaction, you can set up associations between the document types and format codes. Then, when you enter a transaction for a particular document type, the system retrieves the format code for the document type.

You use the GUI/VAT Document Type Format Code Setup program (P75T011) to specify the default values for formats and document types that the system uses when you enter invoices, vouchers, or journal entries. You can set up the default values for these programs:

  • Standard Voucher Entry (P0411)

  • Standard Invoice Entry (P03B2002)

  • Journal Entries with VAT (P09106)

The system does not launch the Taiwan-specific form after you enter an invoice, voucher, or journal entry unless you set up the entry program in the GUI/VAT Document Type Format Code Setup program.
