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 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.

    Hope it helps.

    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.
