Important
The planned features for this release wave have been updated and this feature appears to have been removed.
This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 2.
The seventh of the new functionality in the Legislation section is Multiple VAT numbers per customer.
You can use different VAT numbers for customers with warehouses in different countries across the EU.
Enabled for: Users, automatically
Public Preview: Mar 2024
General Availability: To be announced
Feature Details
Customers that have a warehouse in a different EU country must register a new VAT number in the country where the warehouse is located. This results in a customer having more than one VAT number. With this new feature, you can add the VAT number, the VAT business posting group, and the General business posting group to the alternative address for a customer. When you want to send goods to another address, select an alternative ship-to address and the system shows the appropriate VAT number. You will have the option to use different posting groups. This functionality is available for Sales invoices, Sales orders, Sales credit memos, and Sales return orders.
My Opinion
This feature sounds like something which will be of great benefit to customers who hold stock at international locations. One of those things which seems an obvious requirement when you read about it.
