ExFlow Import Journal - Warning messages

ExFlow compares the contents of the Currency field on the document in the Import Journal with the default currency on the vendor (i.e., the contents of the Currency field on the vendor card).
If the vendor has a blank (empty) currency, then ExFlow does not perform any validation.

Allow VAT Difference

Go to: ExFlow Setup --> Doc. Creation Checks --> Auto. Assign of VAT Diff. for Creation

If Allow VAT Difference is activated in Purchases & Payables Setup, VAT Rounding can be added in Statistics in Import Journal before creating the document.

ExFlow Import Journal - Purchase Invoice Statistics

Via settings, ExFlow can assign VAT Difference automatically. Then VAT Difference will be proportionately distributed to all lines.

Activate "Auto. Assign of VAT Diff. for Creation" in ExFlow Setup under section Doc. Creation Check for Import Journal.

Activate "Auto. Assign of VAT Diff. for Posting in ExFlow Setup under section Doc. Posting Checks for Approval Status under Doc. Posting Checks.

Recommended to use both.
ExFlow will then add VAT Difference automatically if the VAT difference is within settings in General Ledger Setup or from current Currency Code.

If the amount is changed during the approval flow, Business Central will delete the VAT Difference on updated line. Then ExFlow can automatically reassign when running Verify Changes in Approval Status.

If VAT amount on lines is changed manually on Card after document creation, then ExFlow will ask:

"Do you want to update VAT Amount in ExFlow Approval Status from the VAT Amount of lines?"
