How can I get the vendor's invoice number in the vendor prepayment journal? I need the vendors external document number instead of our number series generated by Dynamics 365. The person approving the EFT batch needs to see the invoice number. Is there a way of doing this?

you can see below the numbers are generated by Dyanmics 365 and not the vendors actual Invoice number.

Purchase and Payables setup page below shows the following turned on. Not sure if this helps.

Hi, First of all, you can try the following, copy the original Layout file, create a new one, and then try to add the external document number field.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/ui-how-create-custom-report-layout#create-a-custom-layout

But this requires that the object of the original report contains this field. If not, you need to contact the developer to add this field first.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
