Enhance the Spanish Localization functionality in Dynamics 365 Business Central to allow payments to be applied directly to rejected bills that belong to a posted Bill Group, without requiring the bill to be redrawn or recirculated first.


Allow a payment to be applied to a customer ledger entry that is in a rejected status and is part of a posted Bill Group in the Spanish Localization.


Currently, the system allows users to apply a rejected bill when it belongs to a closed Bill Group. However, when the rejected bill is part of a posted Bill Group, the system returns an error and prevents the application process unless the bill is first recirculated (redrawn).


This creates operational limitations for customers using the Spanish Localization functionality, especially in scenarios where only one bill within the Bill Group has been rejected while the remaining bills are still active or pending.

If a rejected bill remains in a posted Bill Group rather than a closed Bill Group, it is typically because other bills within that same Bill Group are still pending. However, this should not prevent the rejected bill itself from being paid directly or applied against customer payments.

The current requirement to redraw or recirculate the bill introduces additional manual processing steps, including:

  • Creating a redraw process
  • Posting additional Cartera Journal entries
  • Generating a new bill unnecessarily
  • Increasing administrative overhead for accounting teams
  • Complicating reconciliation and audit tracking

From a business process perspective, users would expect that a rejected bill could still be settled independently without forcing the lifecycle of the entire Bill Group to change.


This limitation affects customers working heavily with Spanish Cartera management and bill processing workflows. The current behavior:

  • Causes delays in payment processing
  • Increases accounting workload
  • Introduces unnecessary operational complexity
  • Creates confusion for end users
  • Requires additional financial documents and journal postings that provide no added business value

Allowing direct application of rejected bills within posted Bill Groups would simplify the process significantly and improve usability for finance teams.


Current Behavior

  • Rejected bills in a closed Bill Group can be applied successfully.
  • Rejected bills in a posted Bill Group cannot be applied.
  • Users receive an error and must redraw/recirculate the bill before payment can be processed.

Expected Improvement

The system should allow users to:

  • Apply payments directly to rejected bills even if they belong to a posted Bill Group
  • Avoid mandatory redraw/recirculation processes when not required by the business scenario
  • Maintain the status of the remaining bills in the Bill Group independently

Reproduction Scenario

  1. Create and post a sales invoice in a Spanish Localization environment.
  2. Create bills from the invoice.
  3. Add the bills to a Bill Group and post it.
  4. Reject one of the bills from the posted Bill Group.
  5. Attempt to apply payment to the rejected bill through the Cash Receipt Journal.

Current Result

The system blocks the application and requires the bill to be redrawn first.


Expected Result

The rejected bill should be allowed to receive payment directly without requiring recirculation or redraw.

Good idea! This will help many customers who come unhappy with the module and who didn't like recirculating.
