Customers who have warehouses in multiple EU countries have a different VAT number for each country. Business Central makes it easy to accommodate that situation. You can configure alternative VAT numbers and posting groups for customers' warehouses in different countries. When you use ship-to addresses on your sales documents for different countries, Business Central automatically applies the correct VAT number and corresponding posting groups.
Feature details
Customers with warehouses in different EU countries must register a new VAT number in each country, which means they have more than one VAT number.
Although this feature has been designed primarily for customers in the EU, it can be used by customers in any country with locations abroad. Users must ensure they address any legal obligations or requirements when configuring the setup.
You can add the VAT Number, the VAT Business Posting Group, and the General Business Posting Group to the alternate address for a customer if the address has a different Country/Region Code. When you want to send goods to another address and you select an Alternate Ship-to Address, Business Central shows the appropriate VAT number. You also have the option to use different posting groups.
When you create a new alternative address for your customer and the Country/Region Code is different than the customer's setup, Business Central checks whether a different VAT Number already exists. If the number doesn't exist, it notifies you to create new one.
This feature is available for the following sales documents:
- Sales invoices
- Sales orders
- Sales credit memos
- Sales return orders
