Standardised VAT and item workflow

The “VAT tab” in the DeepO Editor has been fundamentally revised and aligned with the “Positions tab”.

Previously, only manual entries were possible in the “VAT tab”. Automated entries (e.g. via suggestions) required a change to the “Positions” tab. In addition, the same fields were not available in the “VAT tab”.

Applies from 26.02.2026:

• The “VAT tab” now contains the same fields as the “Items tab”
• Field values can also be set automatically in the VAT tab via “Suggestions” (if “Train DeepO” is activated)
• It is no longer necessary to switch to the “Positions tab” for this

In future, the only difference between the two tabs will be the type of grouping:

• VAT tab: Grouping by VAT rate (one item per VAT rate)
• Items tab: all document items are read out individually (if “Item recognition” is activated)

This customisation enables end-to-end automation for all DeepO users who work with “Train DeepO”. A particularly popular use case is the automated setting of the VAT code based on the recognised VAT rate, especially if the derivation logic cannot be mapped in Abacus.
