Display-OV

DISPLAY-OV provides the ability to force the display of additional output schedules which may not have been generated by DT Max. Choose the option you need displayed. As soon as the tax return is calculated again, additional schedules will appear, ready for verification. Verify as required, but do not send schedules that are not required to the relevant government authority. The taxation departments have requested that unnecessary schedules not be sent. You can ensure that they are not printed by checking that no unnecessary schedules are printed to the particular destination in your default form mappings.
