If the question concerns a fee for using software or updating its version, such a payment is classified under the royalty rules (Art. 7 of the Tax Code of the RK). What “2 in 1C” May Mean The phrase is too brief, so it may refer to various practical matters. An accountant may be looking for information about a specific software edition, a second bank account belonging to the same organization, two contracts with a counterparty, accounting for transactions in two currencies, or the separate presentation of data in a report. Before changing the settings, it is useful to determine: - the full name of the installed configuration; - its edition and release number; - the technology platform version; - the organization selected in the infobase; - the transaction that needs to be recorded; - the result that should appear in the document or report. The configuration name is particularly important. “1C:Accounting,” “1C:Comprehensive Automation,” and “1C:ERP” are intended for different accounting tasks, and similar transactions may be recorded in different sections. Therefore, a procedure prepared for one configuration or edition cannot automatically be applied to another. A provision of the Tax Code of the RK cannot be selected based solely on the words “2 in 1C.” It is determined by the substance of the transaction: acquisition of the right to use software, a payment, a sale, a purchase, a foreign-currency settlement, or another business event. In particular, a payment for the use of software, including a version update, is classified as a royalty, except for updates intended to correct errors and defects or for modifications unrelated to software development. A payment for the full transfer of exclusive property rights to an intellectual property asset is not recognized as a royalty (Art. 7 of the Tax Code of the RK). 1C Accounting 2.0 and 1C Accounting 8.2 — What Is the Difference? In searches for “1C Accounting 2,” “1C Accounting 2.0,” and “1C Accounting 8.2,” the numbers may refer to different levels of the software product. The designation 2.0 is usually understood as the configuration edition number, while 8.2 refers to the technology platform version. However, the abbreviated name does not make it possible to identify the product actually installed. To select the appropriate instructions, open the software information in the infobase and check the full configuration name, edition, release, and platform version. The designation “2.0” alone cannot reliably establish the set of documents, the location of commands, or the available functions. For reference, in 2026 the current “Accounting for Kazakhstan” release line is 3.0.74.x. Therefore, the designations 2.0 and 8.2 do not in themselves confirm that the infobase corresponds to the current release. The installed release number must be checked directly in the software information. The accountant should also bear in mind that the appearance of the menu and the availability of individual commands depend on the configuration, interface, enabled functions, and user permissions. If a required item is absent, this may be due to the functionality settings or restricted permissions. Before changing technical parameters, create a backup copy of the infobase and coordinate the actions with the specialist responsible for its maintenance. If the question concerns migration between editions, first check the compatibility of the infobase, industry-specific customizations, integrations, print forms, and data exchange rules. Migrating accounting records is not limited to changing a number in the name: after updating a test copy, check documents, balances, directories, statutory reports, and data exchange with external systems. How to Add a Second Bank Account in 1C If an LLP has opened a second bank account, it is created in the list of bank accounts of the relevant organization. In the account card, complete the details provided for by the configuration, including the bank details, account number, and currency. After saving it, verify that the account belongs to the correct organization and is available for selection in banking documents. It is not possible to specify a single menu path for all versions of 1C. In “Accounting for Kazakhstan” 3.0.74.x, the procedure for opening the list of accounts and the set of settings may differ from older editions, comprehensive solutions, and customized infobases. Therefore, you should not look for a hidden technical setting using instructions intended for another configuration. If the new account does not appear in the payment document, check in sequence the organization that owns the account, the status and completion of the account card, the currency, filters in the selection form, enabled functionality, and user permissions. After changing the settings, close and reopen the document so that the form reloads the current data. For control purposes, generate the cash report provided by the accounting system and configure the breakdown by bank account. If the report shows only the total amount, check its groupings, filters, and available analytics. The existence of a second account card does not mean that every report variant will automatically show the data separately. The number of bank accounts itself does not determine the applicable article of the Tax Code of the RK. Tax consequences arise from the specific transaction conducted through the account, so the basis is selected according to the substance of the payment and the supporting documents. How to Account for Transactions in Two Currencies The number “2” may refer to settlements in two currencies. For tax purposes, the official exchange rate is the exchange rate of the national currency of the Republic of Kazakhstan against foreign currencies established by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Art. 21 of the Tax Code of the RK). In the infobase, the currency must be correctly specified in the contract, settlement document, and relevant analytics. If the obligation and its settlement are denominated in different currencies, the method of recording depends on the terms of the contract and the source documents. Two contracts must not be created automatically, nor should a debt be transferred between them solely because the currencies differ: the information in 1C must reflect the actual substance of the transaction. After posting the documents, check the receivables and payables by counterparty, contract, settlement document, and currency. If a set-off of mutual claims or another adjustment is required, record it on the basis of properly executed documents while preserving the link between the amount, currency, and grounds for the transaction. When issuing an invoice, the supplier’s status must be taken into account. A non-VAT payer states cost and amount values in the invoice in the national currency of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Art. 209 of the Tax Code of the RK). A VAT payer is also subject to the rule requiring values to be stated in the national currency, except in cases expressly provided for by the Tax Code of the RK in which a foreign currency is permitted (Art. 492 of the Tax Code of the RK). An adjustment must not be made solely to eliminate a balance from a report. Its economic substance must be supported by contractual and source documents. After recording the transaction, regenerate the settlement analysis or another report used and check not only the closing balance but also the currency, counterparty, contract, settlement document, and reporting period. Frequently Asked Questions What does “1C Accounting 2” mean? — It is usually an abbreviated designation of a configuration edition, but its exact meaning is determined from the software information. Check the full name, edition, release, and platform version directly in the infobase. Are “1C Accounting 2.0” and “1C Accounting 8.2” the same thing? — No, these designations refer to different product characteristics: 2.0 may denote the configuration edition, while 8.2 denotes the platform version. Both parameters and the full configuration name are needed to select the appropriate instructions. How does “1C Comprehensive Automation 2” differ from “1C ERP 2”? — These are different configurations, so the set of subsystems and documents and the command paths may differ. Instructions are selected based on the full name and release of the installed solution. Why is the second bank account not visible in the payment order? — Check whether the account was created for the selected organization, whether its account card was completed correctly, whether the list is restricted by a filter, and whether the required functions are available to the user. Reopen the document after changing the data. Can a debt in two currencies be settled in a single transaction? — The recording method is determined by the terms of the contract and the source documents. The adjustment must contain the correct currency analytics and correspond to the actual grounds for terminating or modifying the obligations. Can a foreign currency be specified in an invoice? — A non-VAT payer states cost and amount values in tenge (Art. 209 of the Tax Code of the RK). For a VAT payer, the general rule also requires the national currency, while a foreign currency is permitted only in cases expressly listed in the Tax Code of the RK (Art. 492 of the Tax Code of the RK). --- _BuhGPT — ИИ-помощник для бухгалтеров Казахстана: https://buhgpt.kz_
