    Jasmine,

    My image was from a US/CA/MX local version. As to your second question, if you set the VAT % = 0.00 then you will not record any VAT.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Hi Steve,

    Thanks for the advice. I tried to follow steps from your screen capture. However, could not find :tax in use: from last screen shot. This one is from mine. So still  not able to turn the option off. Would it also work if to set "VAT= 0%"?

    Hi All,

    Sorry to hear about the VAT subject within a US BC version. Always remember to set the Tax Posting Setup to VAT Calculation Type = Sales Tax to designate you are a Sales Tax organization. This will turn off any VAT processing. You should also make sure the field 'VAT in Use = FALSE (turned off).

    Maybe you can give this another try but you should not be having these issues and sorry to hear this happened. BC is so easy and very cost effective for companies.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    We have stopped using Business Central. It was an expensive and time consuming experiment. We were never able to work out all the bugs. Sorry I wish I could be more helpful!

    I am familiar with this issue. I am mentioning an easy fix for this.

    Go to VAT Posting Setup, Click on New. Now, no need to insert any value in any of the fields. Just keep passing all the fields by pressing Tab. When done with all the fields just Escape out of the page.

    It seems that each field needs to be validated with Blank Value.

    Do let me know if this solves your issues.

    Hello,

    That does not sound good. Is this happening in SaaS or OnPrem. In both scenario's, your partner should raise a support ticket with Microsoft and we need to know what did happen during partner upgrade or during Microsoft upgrade.

    If this is  what you say it is, it should be corrected by your partner or Microsoft Support.

    Thanks.

    We have been unable to post any sales orders or create new sales lines. This has caused billing issues with our customers and us to use paper notes as a workaround. 
    the original error stated that we needed to enter "gln or tax registration no. in company information” our vendor told us last night to try a workaround by making sure that the “document sending profile is not set up” and that this European functionality was erroneously added to our company with update 16.1. Now we are experiencing errors stating that “tax posting setup does not exist. Identification fields and values: VAT Bus. Posting group =“,vat prod. Posting group =“
