VAT bus posting group error when posting vendor invoice to G/L

I have very recently joined this forum as we are in the process of moving to Business Central as our ERP and I am setting up and testing.

I am hoping this will be a valuable resource as we learn the system and hopefully one day I will be able to give back with any learnings I gain. But for now, unfortunately I just cannot get past an issue with VAT posting groups and really need some help.

I have two VAT business posting groups - DOMESTIC and ROW (rest of world). I am trying to post a purchase invoice to a G/L account with a Vendor I deem to be ROW, i.e. country code is not GB, and the error message I get when I select the G/L account is

"VAT Bus. Posting Group cannot be ROW. ROW can only be used for domestic customers and vendors"

Has anyone experienced similar issue and resolved it? There is nothing in the VAT posting setup I can see that defines a VAT business posting group can only be used for domestic customers and vendors. I can change the VAT business posting group on invoice entry to DOMESTIC and the error goes away, even if the vendor is still set with a non GB country code.

Forgot to mention. Please remove ROW under the 'Reverse Charges' in the Purchase & Payable Setup.

HI,

Finally we found a solution!

The error message was not leading us anywhere. After several attempts, it turns out the solution was simple. We had EXPORT instead of ROW for non-UK Vendors.

1. Just export the VAT Posting Setup to Excel as backup.

2. Delete the Posting Setups for ROW and re-enter.

The probable reason could be, there existed some bad data somewhere in the system.

I am using GB 20.4 and have the same issue. I even changed the vendor currency still the same ridiculous error comes up. Why would I use 'Export' for domestic vendors?

its weird

i have this setup in mx tenant

if you see, EXPORT is outside my country(your ROW), NAC if for national (your domestic) and UE is for european union, this setup come from microsoft and works fine, the vendors has this setup

maybe you forgot this company info

this field "teach" BC in which country I am and every other setup for my vendor or customer (ie GB) needs to be treated like foreign.

Please check that
