Full VAT - Direct posting

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi Guys

I've made the following VAT setup to post an amount directly to a VAT account and have the VAT Entries created aswell:

But when i try to post the VAT it forces me to use the account that i specified in the VAT Posting Setup. But that one is blocked for Direct Posting:

All other VAT postings are not Direct Postings, but for some reason this full VAT...

And all my VAT Balance G/L accounts are blocked for Direct Posting to avoid, that a user accidentially posts something on the account which won't show up in my VAT report.

How do you guys solve this?

    There is a check on the “Direct Posting” for the purchase or sales line table when a full vat product posting group is used. This blog gives good detail on posting a full vat invoice: thedynamicsexplorer.com/.../

    Hi Josh

    Thank you for your reply.

    As i understand it there is _always_ a check for Direct Posting on for the selected G/L Account, no matter if a Full VAT mechanic will be triggered for that line. And that is my issue.

    Normally when I make a VAT Entry the system will look into the VAT Posting Setup and create a G/L Entry accordingly, which is not considered a "Direct Posting", meaning it can go to my VAT Balance G/L Account that doesn't allow Direct Posting.

    For some reason Full VAT G/L Entries are considered Direct Posting OR the check does not take into account that it should make the Direct Posting check when using Full VAT.

    I can't find anything in the guide describing the Direct Posting issue. :/ I assume the guide has not disabled direct posting.

    Hi

    Yes, in NAV/BC  "Full VAT" requires Direct Posting on the G/L Account (the one which is specified in the VAT Posting Setup combination for Full VAT).

    That is indeed the only way to get it to work.

    It's like you want to register usual expenses and select a G/L Account (and in the back the VAT is triggered automatically, with Direct Posting = false).

    In case of FULL VAT ... that's somehow like the expense account ... you post the amount to this VAT G/L account directly ... and therefore it needs to have Direct Posting = true (and in the back the VAT entry for the full amoutn is created).
