Accumulator File - Other XML Associated Files

This is a fixed database containing entries used mostly when processing invoices and credit notes, particularly when these are batched into single XML files. It serves a similar purpose to accumulators that can be defined and used in ProFiler user-defined reports.

Invoices and credit notes are required by HMRC to include an analysis of values accumulated against VAT codes at both a document and file level, and this analysis must be given in trailer elements both to documents and to the file itself. As will be seen by printing its structure (not given here) it allows for these accumulations over up to five VAT codes, for four of which (S, Z, E and X) are fully defined — code X can be changed to whatever additional VAT code is required (see also constants file above). An extra set of values can be defined if a fifth VAT code is required.
