Good morning.

The functionality of multiple NIFs for clients is all well and good, but let's be consistent. If a client may have different NIFs that identify our client's company before the different tax administrations of each country, our company (the base company of Business central) may also be in the same circumstances; and so do our suppliers.

Therefore, it would be interesting to extend this functionality to these two entities.

In the case of the company, I think that, although at first glance it might seem interesting to link the NIF in each country to the warehouse, I think it would be better to associate it with the responsibility center, as an administrative billing center.

This makes me wonder if a responsibility center could have multiple warehouses under its responsibility, and I think it does. Therefore, it leads us to modify the way of relating warehouse with center of responsibility, which at the moment is a 1-to-1 relationship.

On the other hand, this functionality will impact VAT accounting groups, since now it will not only depend on who I sell to and what I sell, but also where I sell from.

For example: If my company is Spanish and has a center of responsibility in another country, for example France. If I sell to a French customer, that sale will have a completely different tax treatment if I sell to them from a responsibility centre-warehouse in Spain than if I sell to them from a responsibility centre-warehouse in France.

In other words, the country of origin of the responsibility centre-warehouse that initiates the operation will be relevant when it comes to the behaviour of the system in terms of VAT.

The way this issue is solved is similar to how it has been resolved for customers. From the Company Information sheet, the alternative NIFs must be reported according to country and with differentiated business registration groups.

In the Responsibility Centers, Warehouse Centers inform the countries and that the system takes this into account when creating sales and purchasing trade documents.

In the case of suppliers, there are no different addresses of origin of the purchase, so this entity would have to be created in a similar way to the customers' shipping addresses.

This must be reported in the purchase documents.

If the country of origin indicated in the address of origin, it will mark the behavior of the operation.

For example, if our company buys from a supplier in Morocco but they send us the goods from a responsibility centre-warehouse they have in Italy, the tax treatment of the operation must be different from if the goods are sent directly from Morocco.

This would be resolved in an analogous way to how it has been resolved for customers.

But it could go further, taking into account that the shipping conditions usually inform the ICOTERM, which mark the moment of transfer of ownership of the goods, which can also be decisive for the taxation of the operation. To do this, you could simply add a field to mark whether for that ICOTERM the transfer of ownership takes place in the country of origin, and take that circumstance into account.

Greetings to all.
