In the India Localization customs process for Dynamics 365 Finance, the Bill of Entry (BOE) status is expected to update from Posted to Invoiced once the vendor invoice is posted using the BOE quantity. This is standard operational practice, where BOE status should reflect the completion of import processing and invoice matching.

However, even after completing the vendor invoicing based on the BOE quantity, the BOE status remains in “Posted” and does not update to “Invoiced” as expected. This leads to inconsistencies between customs documentation and financial processes.

Microsoft Support has investigated this behavior and confirmed that it is currently By Design. The product group has also indicated in previous escalations that this behavior is known but requires an Idea submission to evaluate enhancement based on trade and industry requirements.

This idea proposes that the system automatically update the BOE status to Invoiced when the corresponding vendor invoice is posted using the BOE quantity, ensuring operational accuracy and reducing manual tracking.
