Good to know

Below we talk about PDF posting rules and UBL posting rules.

PDF posting rule = when the document is uploaded in PDF-format. Via Settings > Administrations > Actions (Edit) > Suppliers > Adjust posting rules.

Advanced posting rule = when the document is uploaded in UBL-format (PDF + XML or Embedded PDF). Via Automation > UBL posting rules.

  • Both purchase and sales invoices in UBL-format are supported by this functionality.

  • If there are no UBL booking rules yet for the supplier in question, the invoice will be read based on the VAT percentage

    • First save at least one UBLposting rule for that supplier to save the posting rules according to the information in the XML.

  • Saving UBL posting rules during posting only works with article codes. Doing the posting based on VAT-percentage with saving posting rules, then only the first posting rule will be saved.

  • Tip: Is it a new supplier? Tag the invoice > add the supplier > click Reject by placing the invoice back under To be tagged

    • Create at least one line based on item code

    • Tag the invoice again > complete all fields > check Save booking rules > post the invoice.

  • A supplier has either a mapping based on VAT percentage or based on article code.

  • It is not possible to merge articles to one posting rule.

  • The UBL Posting Rules are not synchronising with the accounting system.

  • It is not possible to map the fields in the headers with UBL posting rules.

  • Then save at least one posting line

  • Upload a UBL invoice in Basecone

  • The posting rules will be read based on how the XML invoice is drawn up

  • Select the "Save posting rules" option and post the invoice. All posting rules are now automatically saved with the advanced posting rules of the relevant supplier/customer.
