Change VAT Date Usage in General Ledger Setup

Posted on by StefanFrimanSE

With 2022 release wave 2 for BC was added "New VAT Date field on documents and entries".
New VAT Date field on documents and entries | Microsoft Learn

With the release, the field "VAT Date Usage" in General Ledger Setup was by default set to "Use full VAT date functionality".
This causes problems for clients that do not need/want this function, and instead wish to use Posting Date for VAT Reporting.
When trying to change the setting to "Do not user VAT Date functionality" this seems not be possible.

Anyone who knows how to change this setting or why it cannot be changed?

RE: Change VAT Date Usage in General Ledger Setup

Hi, Does changing to the second setting not meet your needs?

More details: Business Central 2022 wave 2 (BC 21.3) updates: VAT Date – minor improvements

Then you can set Vat Date to Posting Date by default.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

RE: Change VAT Date Usage in General Ledger Setup

Hi Zhu,

That should probably work.

But the issue is that changes for field 'VAT Date Usage' in General Ledger Setup is not saved.

Trying to change to either 'Use but do not allow modifications' or 'Do not use VAT Date functionality'.

The change is not saved, still 'Use full VAT Date functionality'.

Hi Stefan and Zhu,

There is a piece of code in the OnValidate on the the General Ledger Setup page for this field so it does not save when you change it from page. To make it work enable the Auto Save on Field Change in Feature Management.

Yes, works fine!

After enabling "Auto Save on Field Change" in Feature Management, the settings for field "VAT Date Usage" in General Ledger Setup can be changed.

Thnx!
