Why can't I click 'Continue'?

Last updated on May 18, 2026

Short Answer: 'Continue' is only available after all required fields are mapped and date parsing is valid; check the right-hand 'Required fields' panel for missing selections.

PreRequisites

  1. The 'Configure VAT / sales tax statement' dialog is open and visible.

Steps

  1. Scan the 'Required fields' list to confirm 'Header row', 'Transaction date', 'Date format', 'Description / Narration', and 'Tax amount' are all filled.
    All five required fields show a selection or tokens.

  2. Fix any missing items: set 'Header row', choose a 'Transaction date', set 'Date format', add tokens to 'Description / Narration', and pick a 'Tax amount'.
    Required fields are completed and validation triggers.

  3. If dates still fail parsing, adjust 'Date format' to match the 'Transaction date' values and re-check Data preview.
    Date parsing succeeds and 'Continue' becomes available.

Troubleshooting

  1. 'Continue' remains disabled after mappings.
    LikelyCause: Hidden validation error e.g., empty values in the tax column or mixed date formats.
    Action: Inspect Data preview for empty or invalid values; correct the source file or choose alternative columns, then retry mapping.
