Business Central 2026 release wave 1 (BC28): Use self-billed invoices

Hi, Readers.
Dynamics 365 Business Central 2026 wave 1 (BC28) is generally available. More details: General Available: Dynamics 365 Business Central 2026 release wave 1 (BC28)

I will continue to test and share some new features that I hope will be helpful. In this post, I would like to talk about Use self-billed invoices.

Use self-billed invoices:

Self‑billing reduces operational friction by allowing buyers to generate invoices on behalf of suppliers under a mutual agreement. This improves accuracy, accelerates processing, and eliminates delays caused by missing or inconsistent supplier‑issued invoices. With automated layouts, posting rules, and vendor configuration, you can streamline both compliance and internal controls while ensuring clean financial records.

With this wave (BC28), Business Central offers full support for self‑billed invoices in the purchase process. Buyers can now generate invoices on behalf of a vendor when a self‑billing agreement is in place. Let’s see more details.

A new Boolean field on the Vendor Card page enables this agreement.

And all Purchase Invoices created for that vendor, whether from Purchase Orders or directly, are automatically marked as self‑billed.

Some fields in the Self-Billing Invoice cannot be edited, such as Vendor Invoice No., because there is no invoice number from the vendor in this case.

Vendors can also be assigned a dedicated No. Series for self‑billed invoices, ensuring correct document sequencing.

Please note that this is not the number used for Posted Purchase invoices, but rather the Vendor Invoice No. (External Document No.).

Finally, a new report layout, Posted Purchase Invoice – Self‑Billing Invoice, formats the invoice to align with the sales invoice style, showing buyer company information, vendor details, VAT information, and all essential invoice data.

Great! Go ahead and check it out!😁

PS:
1. For Danish localizations, the posting process can automatically create Digital Vouchers when you enable self‑billing, ensuring compliance with local audit and documentation rules. To prevent conflicts between buyer‑issued and supplier‑issued documents, vendors with a self‑billing agreement can’t receive inbound e‑documents for accounts payable. This guarantees data integrity and avoids duplicate or contradictory documents in the purchase flow.

Hope this will help.
