Why does BC pick VAT Prod. Posting Group from GL Account Card for Prepayment Invoice?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Mesam 95

If I am posting a Purhcase Prepayment Invoice, and do not have a VAT Prod. Posting Group on my Advance to Supplier GL Account Card, I get no VAT Line in GL Entry during Prepayment Invoice Preview posting. Even the VAT Entry has a line with 0 VAT Amount.

But if I have a VAT Prod. Posting Group in GL Account Card, I do get the VAT.

Why does for the Purchase Prepayment Invoice the VAT Prod. Posting Group not taken from Line but is taken from GL Account Card. I cannot have it on GL Account Card as we can have different VAT Prod. Posting group on line during Prepayment Invoice and it won't work.

I have the same question (0)

    Business Central always uses VAT Prod. Posting Group from the entity (Item/Resource/GL Account). Prepayments are posted internally as GL Accounts (usually, some localizations are different).

    "Why does for the Purchase Prepayment Invoice the VAT Prod. Posting Group not taken from Line but is taken from GL Account Card"

    The VAT Prod. Posting Group is taken from the line but the value for the line is automatically loaded from the G/L Account. Use different G/L accounts for different VAT types.

    But if I have a case where I have 2 lines with different VAT Prod. Posting Groups that needs posting (prepayment invoice) it won't let me. How do I go about tackling this scenario?

    Do you already have a solution for this? We have to deal with the same problem.

    And in the Netherlands it's not correct to pay VAT with the prepayment. Only after delivering the goods you need to pay VAT. How do you deal with that?
