Setting up VAT/Sales Tax Input from Expense Users

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. This can be done using the VAT amount field in the Mobile Expense App or the Expense Portal, but the field needs to be added first.

With this field added, the Mobile 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 Mobile Expense App and the Expense Portal, follow these steps:

  1. Choose the Search icon, enter Configured Fields, and then choose the relevant link.
  2. In the Field Code column, add the VAT amount field by either writing it or choosing from the list.

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

Tip

If you think the field is too far down on the list, you can always move it by using the Move Up action in order to make it more easily accessible to the expense user.
