If you work with VAT and dimensions in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, you can control VAT rates based on dimension values. In the VAT Rate per Dimension setup, you decide where the functionality applies and which document types it covers.
You can enable VAT rate per dimension separately for general journal lines, sales lines, and purchase lines. You can turn it on for all three line types or just the ones you need.
For general journal lines, you can also limit the functionality to specific document types. The available document types are blank, invoice, and credit memo.
Activating VAT rate per dimension functionality
In the VAT Rate per Dimension setup, you choose whether the functionality should work on general journal lines, sales lines, and purchase lines. Each line type can be enabled or disabled on its own, so you can apply the feature broadly or restrict it to specific areas of the system.
Limiting VAT rate per dimension by document type on general journal lines
For general journal lines, you have an extra level of control. You can define which document types the functionality applies to. The options are blank, invoice, and credit memo. This lets you apply VAT rate per dimension only to the document types where it actually matters for your setup.
