In some areas, expense users need to enter additional information about sales tax/VAT. For example, in cases where expenses have multiple sales tax/VAT rates. You can do this using the VAT amount field in the Continia Expense App or the Continia Expense Portal. However, you must add the field first.

With this field added, the Expense App and the Expense Portal will automatically detect sales tax/VAT amounts and add them to this field. If there are multiple VAT rates, the amounts will automatically be allocated to separate lines.

To add the VAT amount field to the Expense App and the Expense Portal:

  1. Search Search for and select Configured Fields.
  2. On the action bar, click + Add.
  3. In the Field Types list, click VAT amount to add it to your list of configured fields.
  4. On the action bar, click Force Synchronize with Continia Online.

When you have added this field to the Expense App/Expense Portal, a corresponding field is also added to expense cards in Business Central.

Tip

To make a field more easily accessible to the expense user, you can move the order of the fields on the list; On the action bar, click Move Up or Move down.
