Issue: We are experiencing an issue with Malaysian E-Invoicing submission where NRIC numbers need to be used instead of BRNs for specific suppliers when submitting self-invoices. Despite exploring multiple configuration options, the system continues to default to BRN values.  

Context: If we buy from a private individual in Malaysia we have to submit a self-invoice with an NRIC number. 

As checked, the NRIC can be used in Sales invoice, we hope that NRIC node will also be added to Self-invoice.

Currently, the system uses different methods for action posting and for action importing from Excel add-in.

- When posting the journal, it does check the Account type and will return validation error if:

+ Ledger account posting type is set up in journal control. (In our case, no restriction is configured in Vendor journal name).

+ Check for dimension combination if account type == Ledger.

+ If account type is different from ‘Ledger’, no restriction for posting.

- On the other hand, when importing from Excel add-in (or when opening journal with wrong account type), system will trigger VendorInvoiceJournalLineEntity:: validateField method.

Accordingly, the below values are accepted to be used when opening/importing in Excel from Vendor invoice journal: Vendor, Ledger, Fixed Asset, Project. (Another validation layer is added if account type is Fixed Asset).

Except for the above types, the others will be treated as Invalid.

Thus, with the Vendor invoice journal line having account type as 'Customer', the below behavior will be observed:

-When posting/simulate posting/validating: Process passes, No error.

When opening/importing using Excel add-in: Error shows "The journal contains account types which are not supported by the template. Select a different template, or use the journal voucher form to complete entry.

***Business justification: We are trying open excel edit or import the journal with different account types into Vendor invoice journal.
