5. Start a job to convert the VAT rates

The scenario contains several jobs that automatically carry out conversions for you. You only need to start one job, which will trigger the other jobs in the correct order.
Important: Be sure to select a start time outside of business hours. No records must be open for processing during the changeover.
The functions of the individual jobs, added fields and lists are explained in detail in the scenario documentation.

1. Go to the   Setup tab and click on   Scenarios  >  Object catalogues.
2. Open the "Changeover to reduced VAT" catalogue by double-click or left-click and select  Edit.
3. The catalogue will open in  Display mode on the   Documentation tab.
4. Switch from the   Documentation tab to the   Objects tab.
5. Select the job "Transaction changeover VAT rate" and open it by clicking  Edit in the toolbar.
6. The field Start time/condition must be pre-set with Time .
7. In the Execute as field, select the (real) "Administrator" from the list.
8. Enter  Date and  Time of execution.
   Important: The date and time of execution must be outside business hours. No records must be locked during job execution.
9. In the text field  Parameter presets (right above the table), check whether the number at "Variable:Country=1" matches the previously noted record number for Germany and adjust the number if necessary.
10. Click on  in the toolbar to  activate the job.
