Editing rules
- All fields are editable when the document is in New status.
- After the document is linked to a Purchase Order, only Invoice Qty on the comparison view is editable (to reconcile small quantity differences).
- The page enforces the same setup-template resolution as the eventual posting — changing No. or Line Accounting Cost can change the Setup Exists indicator.
Common scenarios
- Line shows red VAT: change the No. to a G/L account with matching VAT setup, or update the VAT Posting Setup so the line’s VAT% matches.
- Setup Exists = No: configure a Vendor Posting Template or Advanced Vendor Posting Template that covers this
Vendor + Item Sellers ID + Accounting Cost.
- Yellow VAT on a 0%-VAT G/L account: confirm with the supplier that 0% is correct. Empty VAT Prod. Posting Group on the G/L account is now treated as 0% VAT (no error).
