To alert users to posting issues with data in documents (orders, invoices, credit memos) and various journal entries\u2014which could prevent the document or journal entry from being posted\u2014Microsoft has introduced validations that immediately flag these issues.

<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Business Value<\/strong>
Changes to settings\u2014especially when it comes to VAT\u2014can have unpleasant consequences. Business Central 20 allows you to block certain combinations of VAT posting setups that, for whatever reason (whether business-related or due to changing legislation), are no longer needed. This way, they do not need to be deleted, and historical information remains available and consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
