Error: 'VAT Return submitted with problems'

📌 Note: Ensure you select the period range matching the obligation date, and confirm the figures match before proceeding with a force-update.

Work through the following causes to troubleshoot and prevent this error on future submissions:

  • Duplicate records in the ACP user records table in the SQL database.

  • An incorrect licence that lacks the required modules for Access Digital Tax to update Dimensions.

  • The connect service on the server is not running with a sufficient admin account.

  • The connect service may be an older version with a known difficulty updating large databases.

  • There is high network traffic, low connectivity or a restricted network.

  • ADT may be syncing to Dimensions to read the figures but failing to perform the update (a partial incomplete synchronisation). See Synchronise a Dimension User to Access Workspace to use Access Digital Tax.

  • There may be an issue on the back-end of Access Workspace with the link between ADT and Access Financials.

  • The user submitting the VAT return within Digital Tax needs full permissions to the System area of Dimensions or Financials.

  • The workspace organisation should have only one set of relay keys, which must match those used with Access Connect.

  • The user record of the ADT user within Dimensions should be marked as a workspace user.

  • The ADT user must be a Workspace Organisation Administrator.

To investigate which cause applies, contact support. See Get support in Access Digital Tax.
