Dear BC Community.

Is it possible to add Customer VAT number to a Sales Invoices after it has been generated and posted? 

Example:

  • Customer card has been set-up without a VAT Number.
  • Invoice was generated and finalized.
  • Customer requires there VAT Number to be displayed on the Sales Invoices.
  • If Customer Card is updated with a VAT Number it does not display on the Invoices that has already been generated and finalized.

Requirement:

To amend Sales Invoice to show Customer Vat Number.

Thank-you in advance

    Hi, As mentioned by Maria, standard functionality can't do it, it needs to be customized.
    Below is a similar solution that hopefully gives you some hints.

    Hi Crystal, 

    I don't think that is possible.

    After the sales invoice is posted there is only few fields you can modify (usually only payment information related - payment method, bank account..).

    You would need to credit the invoice and post it again. 

    Correct or Cancel a Posted Sales Invoice - Business Central | Microsoft Docs

    Hope it helps.
