VAT Business Posting Group on Ship-to Address
In standard Business Central, the VAT Business Posting Group is defined on a Customer Level. This code is then copied to the VAT Business Posting Group field on sales documents like orders and invoices.
It might be useful to define the VAT Business Posting Group on a Ship-to Address level, because for some customers, it’s the ship-to address that defines the VAT Business Posting Group on documents.
That’s why Business Central Accelerator provides a new field on the Ship-to Address card, named VAT Business Posting Group. If this code is filled in for a ship-to address, the VAT Business Posting Group on a document header is changed to the Posting Group of the Ship-to Address once the address is selected.
The Ship-to Address VAT Business Posting group will have precedence over the one on the customer card. If the group is not filled in on the ship-to address, the one from the customer card will be filled in on the document header.
