What's new or changed for India GST in 10.0.08 (February 2020)

This article includes a summary of the new features and critical bug fixes released in Dynamics 365 Finance version 10.0.08 for India GST localization.

New features

Change the tax rate type on a purchase invoice

In India, the invoice received from the supplier may have different tax rates from the purchase order, which is supported by the tax rate type functionality.

You can enable the feature in the Feature management workspace. The name of the feature is (India) Enable changing tax rate type in purchase invoice.

With the feature enabled, you can update the tax rate type in the tax information for a purchase invoice, so you can apply a different tax rate if needed.

Data consistency check

You can verify and fix a data inconsistency issue regarding GTE. To do this, go to System administration > Periodic tasks > Database > Consistency check. We recommend that you run this consistency check in your environment.

A posting failure can occur due to missing or incorrect setup of the GST number sequence. To resolve the issue and set up the GST number sequence correctly, complete the procedures in the Define GSTINs and reference number sequences and Set up GST reference number groups topics.
