BC adds new unwanted posts in VAT Posting Setup and in General Posting Setup under certain conditions. In my example below is how BC adds a line to VAT Posting Setup:
1 - I have "G/L Account is missing in posting group or setup" selected in My Notifications.
2 - In Chart of Accounts, I add a VAT Prod. Posting Group to a Account Card.
3 - I create a Purchase Line with this G/L Account where the combination of VAT Bus. Posting Group from Vendor and the VAT Prod. Posting Group doesn't exist in the VAT Posting Setup.
Normally this will lead to an error message "The VAT Posting Setup does not exist". But instead BC adds a "blank" line for this combination of codes to VAT Posting Setup with 0% VAT. This also means that I can post the invoice even though I haven't added any settings in VAT Posting Setup.
The scenario above is similar for General Posting Setup. If I add a Gen. Prod. Posting Group to an item and create a sales/purchase line, BC will add a blank line in General Posting Setup

=====================
ACTUAL RESULTS
=====================
The customers will have issues with posted invoices with 0% VAT.
The Notifications on the document are not preventing the user to post the document, and a new automatic insert is done in VAT Posting Setup /General Posting Setup, with 0% VAT and missing information.

=====================
EXPECTED RESULTS
=====================
The feature should be optional, not ”mandatory”. And a setting in My Notifications should not control this really.
A – Keep it as it is but give the user a dialog ”Do you want to add a record in VAT Posting Setup for VATBusGroupCode XXX and VATProdGroupCode YYY” when the user adds a document row with a new posting group combination.
B – Add an option field in General Ledger Setup ”Create missing posts in VAT Posting Setup automatically”. If this is set to NO, then no new posts will be created automatically to either General or VAT Posting Setup.
