Business Central 2024 wave 2 (BC25): Use a default quantity of 1 for accounts on documents (Default G/L Account Quantity)

Hi, Readers.
The public preview for Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 release wave 2 (BC25) is available. Learn more: Link.

I will continue to test and share some new features that I hope will be helpful.

Use a default quantity of 1 for accounts on documents:

Business value:
Some people prefer to enter a specific quantity on document lines, while others like to have a default value entered for them that they can overwrite. To accommodate the latter preference, Business Central lets you specify that you want lines for general ledger accounts on sales documents to have a quantity of 1 by default.

This new functionality is similar to what we discussed below:
Dynamics 365 Business Central: Settings for “Quantity” and “Qty. to Ship” in Sales Order – Default Quantity to Ship and Default Item Quantity

This time, for the type G/L Account lines, the system can automatically set the quantity to 1 by default. Let’s see more details.

Default values on documents can speed up data entry. If you want new lines for general ledger accounts on sales and purchase documents to have a quantity of 1 by default, on the Sales & Receivables Setup and Purchase & Payables Setup pages, turn on the Default G/L Account Quantity toggle.

Small update, but it makes life easier. Give it a try!!!😁

Hope this will help.
