How BAS History is Tracked
BAS history is derived from journal entries rather than a separate submissions table:
- BAS journals (
source_type: BAS) — Created when you finalise a period - Payment journals (
source_type: BASPAY) — Created when you record a payment
This means your BAS history is always consistent with your general ledger.
Best Practices
- Review regularly — Check BAS History to ensure all periods are prepared and paid
- Track due dates — Outstanding periods are highlighted on the Overview tab
- Prepare promptly — Don’t let BAS periods pile up
