Source Currency fields remain blank in VAT Entry after posting foreign currency VAT transactions

Hi everyone,

I’m facing an issue with Source Currency VAT fields in Business Central, and I’d like to confirm whether this is expected behavior, a known limitation, or a product bug. I’m specifically referring to the following fields on VAT Entry:

Source Currency VAT Amount (Field 70)
Source Currency VAT Base (Field 71)
Source Currency Code (Field 74)
Source Currency Factor (Field 75)

Example:

Document Currency: USD
VAT Base (USD): 1,250
VAT Amount (USD): 125
Exchange rate exists on posting date

Expectation:

Source Currency VAT Base = 1,250
Source Currency VAT Amount = 125
Source Currency Code = USD
Source Currency Factor = exchange rate

Actual result:

All Source Currency VAT fields remain blank, both in Preview Posting and after posting.

Question:

Is this behavior by design in certain BC versions?
Is this a known issue/bug that has been fixed or planned to be fixed in newer versions?
Are these fields only populated under specific posting paths or localizations?
Is there any standard setup or condition that explicitly controls population of these fields?

Any clarification from Microsoft, MVPs, or partners who have encountered this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
