change bill-to-customer in a job with only usage entries

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 22

Hi everyone,

it happens quite often that the user has to change the bill-to-customer for a given job after some entries have been posted on the job ledger.

It is clear that the customer cannot be changed when there is already at least one posted sales invoice.

But, we experienced that the bill-to-customer chosen for a given job cannot be changed also in the case where there are only usage entries posted in the job ledger (no posted sales invoices).

Does anyone know why it is not allowed to change the bill-to-customer in the case there are only usage entries posted in the job ledger?

Do you know a way to force the change of the customer?

Thank you

    The reasoning behind this is most likely audit trail and data consistency.

    Changing data on ledger entries is normally something we try to avoid. If you really have a need for this i recommend you work together with your partner in order to get in place a solution that is safe and tested. It can sometimes be hard to overlook every impact a datachange like this have on your system.

    Hi, This may have changed in BC20, just some new info, hope helps.

    Allow the sell-to and bill-to customers to be different for jobs
