Good to know
Below we talk about normal posting rules and advanced posting rules.
Normal posting rule = saved posting rules, as previously available. Via Settings > Administrations > Actions (Edit) > Suppliers > Adjust posting rules.
Advanced posting rule = for UBL invoices. Via Automation > Advanced (UBL) posting rules.
Both purchase and sales invoices in UBL-format are supported by this functionality.
If there are no advanced booking rules yet for the supplier in question, the invoice will be read based on the VAT percentage
First save at least one advanced posting rule for that supplier to save the posting rules according to the information in the XML.
Saving advanced 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.
For automatic posting, the relevant supplier's automation rules refer to the normal posting rule, not the advanced posting rule.
For now, automatic posting is only possible for invoices with 1 posting rule.
Use the PDF invoice to be able to automatically post the invoice based on the saved normal posting rule.
A supplier has either a mapping based on VAT percentage or based on article code.
The saved advanced posting rule takes precedence over the normal posting rule.
It is not possible to merge articles to one posting rule.
The Advanced Posting Rules are not synchronising with the accounting system.
It is not possible to map the fields in the headers with advanced posting rules.
