Changing Purchase Invoice Line Type

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by muhammadnadeem

Hi,

When we post a purchase invoice in Dynamics BC, the default Type for line is selected as "Item". We have to change this everytime from Item to G/L. Is there a way the default can be changed from Item to G/L?

I have looked at vendor settings, vendor posting groups but could not find any option to do this. I have also tried "personalise" and design options in sandbox.

Many thanks

Hi

this is the standard behavior.

You can create a page extension for these pages and use the OnNewRecord event. Then assign the type whichever is required.

This might solve the issue.

Hello Muhammadnadeem,

In the previous version in BC it was not available, but in last update we got the option on Purchase & Payables Setup, where you can do the setup functionally at your end just by selecting what you want the initialize the system to put on the lines first.

Go through the shard image for your reference.

If my answer helped you, maybe it can help others, please verify it, so other users know it worked or helped you.
Thank you.

Hi muhammadnadeem,

you can do this setup form the "sales & Receivable Setup" and "Purchase & Payables Setup" where you can find "Document Default Line Type" assign value as per your requirement.

IF this field is not available on the page then add on the page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/ui-personalization-user

Hello Everyone,

He needs to make this feature on action button for the Payment Journal page. They do not need auto line creation, as I discussed with him earlier.
