Accumulator File


This is a single record database, whose purpose is to accumulate values, just like the accumulator feature used in ProFiler user-defined reports. For an input XML file it can be used to accumulate values that are to be checked against total values given at the end of a transaction and/or in a batch trailer. For an output file it accumulates the values that are to be output at the end of a transaction and/or in the batch trailer. A particular use is to accumulate VAT values for each tax code when creating or deconstructing XML invoice and credit note files — a requirement of HMRC.

A sample accumulator file is included in the material distributed with the XML module, and we recommend that you use this as the basis of any XML template you create.
