Business Central 2025 wave 1 (BC26): Check total purchase amounts on documents (Check Doc. Total Amounts)

Hi, Readers.
The public preview for Dynamics 365 Business Central 2025 release wave 1 (BC26) is available. Learn more: Link.

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

Check total purchase amounts on documents:

Business value:
This feature helps you ensure that all line items are accurately entered and match the external invoice, which reduces human errors in accounts payable processes.
Feature details:
This feature was previously available as part of the check purchase amounts functionality in the Netherlands localization. As part of our delocalization process, we’re making it a global feature that’s available to everyone.

You can activate this feature in the setup selecting Check Doc. Total Amounts in Purchases & Payables Setup.

Check Doc. Total Amounts
Specifies if you want the Doc. Amount Incl. VAT field in purchase documents to be compared to the sum of the VAT amounts fields in the purchase lines. If the amounts are not the same, you will be notified when posting the document.

If you activate this feature, the Doc. Amount Incl. VAT and Doc. Amount VAT fields are available on the Purchase Invoice and Purchase Credit Memo pages.

You must fill in the fields before you can post the documents. Business Central checks whether the amount including VAT and the VAT amount stated on the purchase document are equal to the total amount of the purchase lines when you try to post the document.

So only if the amounts are consistent can they be posted.

When you enter Doc. Amount Incl. VAT, Doc. Amount VAT is automatically calculated.

Great. Give it a try!!!😁

PS:
1. These two fields are not displayed by default on the Purchase Order, Purchase Quote and other purchase documents. You can display them if necessary.

2. There is no such feature in Sales document.

END

Hope this will help.

Thanks for reading.
