Posting vs. Save Functionality in Business Central

Report

Posted on by MW-29081454-0

Could you please advise if there is a setting or perhaps a planned feature that would replace the /posting/ process with a /save/ function? This would streamline corrections by allowing users to simply correct and save changes, eliminating the need for multiple correction steps. The current posting process seems outdated and makes tracing more challenging.

Thank you.

Hi

Sorry, I don't quite understand the difference between saving and posting.
When you make a document, you can save it until it goes through levels of reviews and approvals, before posting.
After posting, records are created in various internal tables.
If you save the document, what do you mean?

The document is saved automatically, so there is already a saving function... If you post something, it will set the entries in multiple tables, making tracing easier with those registered entries.. still confuse what do you mean by planned saving feature here?

any changes will be saved automatically in BC, but BC doesn't validate all the changes or info, may they be incorrect.

validation happens when the posting happen. then user needs to fix so it could be posted.

There is no setting for this. And this is not going to happen, is not a good idea, and is certainly not an outdated process for many reasons. Every ERP system has some sort of posting routine, other than basic accounting software like QuickBooks where documents are simply saved. The complexity and flexibility of an ERP system requires a posting routine, among many other reasons.

The need for multiple correction steps is also required for a good audit trail. If users can simply save a document, make changes to it, save it again, you have no audit trail. There is a reason ERP systems like Business Central are designed to work this way.
