When using the Payment Reconciliation Journal, customers may post bank transactions directly to G/L accounts. In transactions where no VAT liability exists, Business Central still validates VAT Posting Setup combinations and can prevent posting if the relevant VAT posting combination is blocked.

The current suggested workaround requires users to:

1. Temporarily unblock the VAT Posting Setup combination.
2. Process the payment reconciliation.
3. Re-block the VAT Posting Setup afterwards.

This introduces manual intervention and the risk of configuration errors.

Requested Enhancement

Provide an option for the Payment Reconciliation Journal to:

• Bypass VAT Posting Setup validation when no VAT liability exists.
• Allow bank receipt/payment transactions to post directly to the selected G/L account without requiring active VAT Posting Setup combinations.
• Retain normal VAT validation where VAT is actually applicable.

The Payment Reconciliation Journal is intended to automate the reconciliation of bank transactions and bank movements processed through this journal often represent pure cash movements where VAT is not relevant. Thus requiring changes to the VAT Posting Setup creates unnecessary administration every time this process is run.
