I would like to create the XML-auditfile for the external auditors and Dutch tax office. Without a proper auditfile, it is difficult to use manager.io in Holland. That is why I’d like to start developing the XML.
Without a xml - audit file, it is still possible to use Manager in the Netherlands. The only condition is that your data have to be digitally accessible for the tax - authorities. By giving them your backup file and a copy of Manager, I think that you meet their requirements. I do agree that having the possibility of creating the XML audit file would be very helpful.
I doubt if Lubos will give this a priority looking e.g. at the UK VAT-requirements per April 1, 2019
I think that this can be solved extending custom reports access to audit trial. Once we will be able to export custom report the problem will be completely solved.
I only came across it today. And I’ve only tested it once. But if you Copy to clipboard, you can paste the results into a spreadsheet. With only minimal column width adjustments, you have a fully formatted report.
@lubos has hinted previously about upcoming changes involving the ability to move data in and out directly from spreadsheets. I suspect this is part of that implementation.
“Add-on would basically produce XML file on demand”
Any update on this? Creating an xml file and exporting same would go a long way to solving the SBR dilemma (Standard Business Reporting) we now face with accounting software such as Manager.
@lubos did say this this was being worked on. He only said it would have to be done using an add-on. The presumption is that you would create the add-on yourself.
