- Tax Payments Needing Authorization (these costs are shown on the Scheduled Tax Costs - Needing Authorization tab)
Reviewing overdue scheduled or actual costs
You can review overdue taxes only for either scheduled or actual costs, depending on which tab you are working from ("Scheduled Tax Costs – Payments Needing Authorization” or the Actual Costs tab)
On either of these tabs, the summary panel displays the total number of records in the grid, as well as the totals for Amount Expense and Amount Income.
The grid displays the list of scheduled or actual tax costs that met the filter criteria.
You can:
- Export the summary to an Excel report by clicking XLS above the Summary pane.
- Export the detail data showing in the grid to Excel by clicking XLS above the grid.
- Review only overdue taxes:
- Select either the “Scheduled Tax Costs – Payments Needing Authorization” tab or the Actual Costs tab.
- If needed, use the Filter to set a restriction.
- Click the Show Overdue Only button.
The grid further restricts the cost records already displayed in the grid to include only tax costs that are overdue (that is, Date Due <= current date AND Date Paid value is NULL.)
