What Does This Feature Do?

Before posting a purchase invoice or credit memo, Business Central now validates the following:

• Document Amount Including Tax matches the sum of purchase lines.

• Document TAX Amount aligns with the calculated VAT on the lines.

This check helps prevent discrepancies between header totals and line totals, ensuring accuracy and compliance.

Setup Guide

• Navigate to Purchases & Payables Setup.

• Enable this Boolean:

  • Check Doc. Total Amounts

How it Works

• Two Mandatory Fields will display on Purchase Invoice and Credit Memo page in the header:

  • Doc. Amount Incl. Tax (VAT)

  • Doc. Amount Tax (VAT)

• When creating a Purchase Invoice or Credit Memo, users must enter the total invoice amount and then automatically total tax amount calculated, as these fields are mandatory. If these values are not provided, the system will display an error. Additionally, if the line amounts do not match the header amounts, the document cannot be posted and will through an error.

Error when User don't fill the Doc. Amount Incl. Tax field

Error when there is amount difference between header and lines

Final Thoughts

This feature is a must-enable for businesses aiming for accuracy and compliance in their purchase processes. By validating totals before posting, you minimize errors and streamline financial operations.
