How to enter supplier Invoice for closed vat period

I have just received an invoice that I had not realised we had not previously received and is outstanding. The supplier had not chased and so the invoice date is very old and for a closed vat period. So do I…

  1. enter the invoice with todays date even though the invoice is dated in May or
  2. enter the actual invoice date and is there a way of catching it on the next vat return? If so how.
    Thanks

Hello @tc5440

Is the period locked too (e.g. year end), or is it just the VAT period?

If it’s just the VAT period, you can enter it as normal and it will be pulled into the next VAT period and accounted for that way.

It’s just the vat period so I have just entered it and run the vat report and it is fine. I didn’t realise it pulled unreconciled items from earlier periods. That’s great thanks
