Click the "Next" button.
Select documents for mutual offset

Tab "Main"
Document Type
Required field
Select from the list of offset types.
Transaction Type
Receipt or Expense.
Document Number
The value is automatically filled in after selecting a document series.
You can predefine "your" document series in the logged-in user's settings. This eliminates the prompt asking which series to use, speeds up data entry, and also removes the possibility of entering an incorrect series.
Incoming Number
Offset Number
Variable Symbol
Generated automatically from the document number by removing all non-numeric characters.
Date Issued
For the first document in a series, the date is set from the computer's current date, provided the entered accounting period matches the current calendar year (otherwise, it is set to the last day of the entered accounting period). For subsequent documents in the series, the date is carried over from the previous document.
The posting date value is automatically generated from the date of issue.
If you enter a date that is later than the end of the accounting period, the application will set the last date of the current accounting period as the posting date. This applies to documents created after the end of the accounting period that are substantively within the period — for example, invoices for energy or telephone services that are not issued until the following month.
If the document does not fall within the selected accounting period, this is an error and you must switch to the correct accounting period and create the document there.
Tax Supply Date
Required if you are a VAT payer.
For the first document in a series, it is taken from the date of issue. For subsequent documents, it is carried over from the previous document.
Apply Tax Supply Date
This field is available only for the Expense transaction type.
Enter the date on which the taxable supply is to be applied.
Reference Number
Description
Enter additional details here to help navigate the document list more easily.

Tab "Attachments"
On this tab you can archive various documents related to the offset.
The toolbar at the top of the table contains a number of buttons, the meaning of some of which is described in the separate chapter "Program Controls".
Using the "New" button, you can add a new attachment. When adding an attachment, you can choose from the following options:
File – a file from your local computer is loaded into the database,
Internet link – the application stores a link (URL); the data from the linked source is not loaded into the application,
File link – the application stores a link to a file on your local computer's disk; the file data is not loaded into the application (do not rename, move, or delete the linked file).
Each inserted attachment has a folder icon that allows you to view the attachment at any time. You can also use the folder icon to save the attachment to a different location. The scan button is used to scan the document, and the second option allows you to select a scanner and configure the scanning parameters.

Tab "Company"
Company
You can select a business partner from the Address Book (the following fields will be filled in automatically), or you can enter the partner's details manually (in which case, leave this field blank). You can enter an abbreviation or company name (or just part of an abbreviation or name) and select the desired company from the suggested records. You can also open the company list (using the icon on the right or by pressing F2) and search for a company using filters, edit the business partner's company before selecting it, or add a completely new record; to select a company from the list, simply double-click its record.
Only companies recorded in the business partners' Address Book with the value Customer, Supplier, or Customer/Supplier selected in the Relationship Type field are shown.
Name
Enter the exact company name. The field is filled in automatically when you select a company from the address book; otherwise, fill it in manually.
Note: If you click on the blue underlined Name field label after entering the company name, your web browser will open a search results page in ARES (Administrative Register of Economic Entities) with data from the commercial register, trade register, VAT payer list, etc.
Street
Enter the street address of the company's registered office, including the building number, orientation number, or a combination of both.
Note: If you click on the blue underlined Street field label after filling in the City and Street fields, your web browser will open the Mapy.cz portal with a map of the company's registered office.
City
Enter the name of the city or municipality where the company is registered.

Postal Code
Enter the postal code of the company's registered office (or the local equivalent for foreign companies). When a valid postal code is entered, the City field will be filled in automatically. The autocomplete feature can also be used when entering a postal code: start typing the first digits of the postal code or the beginning of the city name, and the application will suggest possible cities, municipalities, or districts.
Country
Select the country where the company is registered from the drop-down list. If you selected a city or postal code from the autocomplete, the Czech Republic or Slovakia will have been filled in automatically. To speed up the search, you can type the first letters of the country name and the application will move to the first matching country.

If you click on the blue underlined Company ID field label when a value for a Czech company is entered, your web browser will open an ARES (Administrative Register of Economic Entities) search results page based on the company ID, with data from public registers.

Tab "Posting and VAT Line"
VAT Country
Required field for VAT payers on accounting documents.
The country in which value added tax will be remitted.
The value in this field is automatically set to the legislative country specified in Company Settings on the Legislation tab. The value can be changed by selecting from the drop-down list.
If the Restrict VAT country selection option is checked in Company Settings, the available options will be limited to relevant countries based on the current document values.
When the company being accounted for is registered for MOSS, the appropriate VAT country may be automatically selected based on the business partner's country and their VAT registration status.
VAT Lines
VAT return lines are filled in according to the selected posting template and can be changed manually.
VAT Control Statement Line
VAT payers only. Field is not required.
This field is used to specify the line of the VAT control statement form into which the VAT base amounts and VAT amounts will be loaded. It also serves as the default value for the Control statement line field on the Posting/Details tab of document line items being added.
The VAT control statement line value will be set according to the value defined for the selected document type; the value can be changed using the drop-down arrow. The available values are loaded from the control statement lines code list, restricted to lines corresponding to the currently selected VAT country and document type, with lines corresponding to the document's transaction type listed first.
If you are unsure which control statement line to select, leave the field blank — before creating the VAT control statement, you will be notified about documents without a selected VAT control statement line and will be able to set the correct line. If the document has no impact on the control statement, select line 0.0. When saving a document with the Czech Republic as the VAT country, a check will be performed to verify that the total document amount meets the condition for the selected VAT control statement line. You will also be notified if the selected control statement line does not correspond to the document's transaction type.
Posting Date
The date on which the accounting transaction took place.
Bank Account
Contra Account
Credit Account
This field is automatically transferred to the document line item in the Credit Account field.

Standard VAT
The account is automatically transferred to the document line item in the Credit Account field when the line item carries the "Standard VAT Rate".
Reduced VAT
The account is automatically transferred to the document line item in the Credit Account field when the line item carries the "Reduced VAT Rate".
Place of Supply – Domestic

By checking this box, you indicate that the service was provided domestically, which means the mandatory VAT recapitulation data will be displayed in printed reports.

Tab "CZK"
The tab displaying the home currency (usually labeled "CZK") provides a financial overview of the entire document and a breakdown of amounts by VAT rate. After the first document line item is added, most fields on the tab become read-only and their values are updated with each change to a line item.
For entering a document without line items, amounts are entered directly into the tab's fields (with the exception of the base sum and VAT sum). After changing the amount in one of the fields, the remaining fields are cross-calculated (note, however, that if you manually change the VAT amount, the sum of amounts in the row will be correct, but the amounts will not correspond to the percentage VAT rate). For so-called line-item-free documents, the application automatically creates items of the type "Accounting Item", the number of which corresponds to the number of VAT rates used (or the entry of amounts for VAT-exempt goods and services). A document without line items is useful, for example, for accounting firms entering a document brought in by a client.
The remainder of the tab consists of fields in three columns:
Base
VAT
Including VAT
The fields are arranged in rows labeled with specific VAT rates:
Exempt (0 %)
Reduced rate
2nd reduced rate
Standard rate
Total
Calculation and rounding method for amounts on documents without line items:
Base
If the base amount is entered first, the corresponding VAT will be calculated exactly.
VAT
If the VAT amount is entered first, the corresponding base will be calculated exactly.
Including VAT
If the amount including VAT is entered first, the corresponding base and VAT will be calculated using a coefficient (for the 21% rate, the base = 0.1736 × total; for the 15% rate, the base = 0.1304 × total).
The rounding defined for the document type is not applied to documents without line items; the calculation described above is used instead. You can adjust the final amount after calculation to suit your needs.
__________________________________________________________________
Tab "Currency"
Currency
Determines the currency of the document amounts. The default value is the home (domestic) currency entered in Company Settings; if left as the default, the remaining fields on the tab will be unavailable. If you want to create the document in a different currency, select a value from the list of available currencies. Once selected, the remaining fields on the tab will become accessible.Exchange RateThe pair of fields allows you to specify the exchange rate for the home currency against the selected currency. After selecting a currency, the exchange rate for the document's date of issue is downloaded from the internet, but it can be edited or entered manually. If the exchange rate cannot be retrieved, the home currency field will be highlighted with a colored border and set to 0.00.
The remainder of the tab consists of fields in three columns:
Base
VAT
Including VAT
The fields are arranged in rows labeled with specific VAT rates:
Exempt (0 %)
Reduced rate
2nd reduced rate
Standard rate
Total
For so-called line-item-free documents, the values in the fields can be edited with the exception of the base sum and VAT sum; the remaining fields are cross-calculated (however, changing the VAT amount will result in the sum of amounts being correct, but not the percentage VAT rate). For documents with line items, the amount fields are read-only and display values based on the document's entered line items.
