The STL Segment

The STL segment (VAT Rate Invoice Sub Trailer) contains the invoice amounts relating to the VAT rate.

All monetary values in this segment are in pounds. You will use an extended rule to perform the calculations that will be displayed in the fields in the STL segment. Screen entry translation object users will be able to view the values in these fields (in the VAT Summary frame), but will not be able to change the values. See The VAT Summary and the Invoice Trailer for details on how to add the extended rule.

The fields associated with the STL segment are arranged on the STL frame. Your users will complete the fields on the STL frame for each VAT rate calculation. The list of all VAT rates in the invoice will be displayed in a list box on the Invoice Details frame. In that list box, the VAT rates will be displayed for each line item, forming columns of information.
