How to Change Gen. Prod. Posting Group & Gen. Bus. Posting Group manually when creating journal in Business Central?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 25

Can you change Gen. Prod. Posting Group & Gen. Bus. Posting Group manually when creating journal (General Journal, Customer Receipt Payment Journal, Vendor Payment Journal) in Business Central?

We have this requirement from our client because we need to maintain prepayment as subledger (customer) but this prepayment  journal will be created in general journal/customer receipt journal, not in sales order.

As my understanding in Dynamics AX/365 FO is possible to do so (change the vendor/customer posting profile manually in journal), but what about in Business Central?

And we also need to maintain 2 type of payables for one vendor account. Example : Vendor A has direct payable & indirect payable.

Do we also require 2 vendor account to maintain these 2 type of payables because in Business Central is not possible to change the posting group manually?

Thanks

    Hello Yum

    in BC standard is not possible to achieve this result, when you select a customer or a vendor into a journal the business group are taken directly form the customer or vendor card and is not possible to change it in a journal level

    You need to have different customer with different posting group to be able to achieve the result

    Hope this help

    Hi,

    Just to add to this. It doesn't seem to be possible to change the Vendor Posting Group via personalisation however I've found you can add this via a Page Extension customisation. 

    I just tested this on my system and managed to add this below. (its called "Posting Group")

    You can then change the default that's pulled through from the Vendor (I changed this from DOMESTIC to DIFFAP)

    I used this in my code (please note I'm 100% not a developer - I'm more a novice who likes to see how things work )

    I hope this helps

    Thanks

    Yum,

    Adding to Gavin and Alessandro replies, this is not out-of-the-box functionality. However, as Gavin showed, you could have your Partner create an extension that shows the field, on the documents you need, and allow for editing and changing the Posting Group values. Then the Posting routine will need to be updated by the changed value off the Journal Line. This is doable as an extension.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve
