We operate globally and would like to go back to using the Business Central provided Invoice, but we need the invoice to show different field names depending on region.
The system is set up as UK and therefore shows VAT.
When producing the invoice for the customer we need the invoice to show either VAT, GST, Tax depending on the entity the invoice comes from.
They system does not need to change only the representation on the invoice.
Custom invoices per database company or per customer record is standard functionality. For the former use report layout selections page (to set it up). For the latter go to a customer card and choose document layouts (to set it up).
Guidance on the document layout customisation process:
docs.microsoft.com/.../ui-manage-report-layouts
docs.microsoft.com/.../ui-define-customer-vendor-document-layouts
This is something your Microsoft partner can help you with if the task is too time and resource consuming
Thanks Josh - sorry finally coming back to this.
The localisation is GB, but we operate and invoice across 7 different tax regions.
Therefore need the Invoice to show GST or Tax not VAT.
Not at the coding level at all, but would look for an add in if it allowed customised invoices per Company within BC.
Any ideas?
What localisation is the database? For example if it is GB then the invoice is localised. There is a function in report 1306 which set those fields:
FormatDocument.SetTotalLabels(GetCurrencySymbol, TotalText, TotalInclVATText, TotalExclVATText);
If you want it to chop and change you may want to alter the report. Another option which would be less coding is detailed in this video: https://youtu.be/hPMWTToSO1A
