Currently, in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, when the "Date of VAT register" feature is enabled, the "Date of VAT register" field cannot be made mandatory. This is due to an existing feature that allows users to enter the date even after the invoice has been posted, if the field was initially left blank.
However, in many business scenarios, it is crucial that the Date of VAT register is entered at the time of invoice posting to ensure accounting and tax accuracy, and to avoid omissions or errors later on.
My proposal is to introduce a configuration parameter (e.g., at the legal entity or ledger parameter level) that allows organizations to enforce the "VAT Book Date" field as mandatory during invoice posting, preventing the posting process if the field is empty.
This is especially important because the Date of VAT register becomes a mandatory field for the VAT settlement and posting process. Ensuring that this field is populated at the time of posting would prevent issues with missing data and reduce the need for mass updates or corrections to posted invoices.
