Description2_VATClauseLine missing in 1306 word sales invoice

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

All,

Since around 20-7-22 we are missing the possibility to use the XML element in word Description2_VAT`ClauseLine. Checked this on several places.

Is there something we have overlooked? 

This field is important to use for information with sales abroad. 

Best regards,

Coen Overgaag

    Hello Coen,

    Trust you are doing well and long time now see.

    The VAT Clause table still has the field included:

           field(3; "Description 2"; Text[250])

           {

               Caption = 'Description 2';

           }

    In StandardSalesInvoice.Report.al the field is still included in version 20 and 20.1. I did not verify it in 20.2:

                   column(Description_VATClauseLine; VATClause.Description)

                   {

                   }

                   column(Description2_VATClauseLine; VATClause."Description 2")

                   {

                   }

    In release 20.3 this indeed seems to be missing.

                   column(Code_VATClauseLine_Lbl; VATClause.FieldCaption(Code))

                   {

                   }

                   column(Description_VATClauseLine; VATClauseText)

                   {

                   }

    (To me personally) This looks like a bug. What I will do is I will create an internal bug for this issue. If you want a Microsoft engineer to prioritize it and if you want to officially track it, then raise a support ticket. Please refer to this community posting and internal work item with title "Description2_VATClauseLine missing in 1306 word sales invoice" so engineer can map work item with support request.

    Hope this helps already.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    You are right that we removed Description2_VATCauseLine, but that was done on purpose. Due to change in European regulation, there is need to provide more space for VAT Clause. The BC team refactor the code to support using extended text here. 

    Extended text functionality for VAT clauses | Microsoft Docs

    With this functionality, we added Extended Text  action to VAT Clause page, so that user can define longer text to be shown on this report. StandardSalesCreditMemo and StandardSalesDraftInvoice reports have been modified too. 
    Hope this helps.
