What's new in version 2505.0.0.0

Tax Management for Drink-IT  •  Release Note  •  8/27/2025  • 

Features

With the features added in this release of the Aptean Beverage Tax Management, Drink-IT Edition,

  • The VAT special regulations functionality enables you to define the VAT business posting group and/or VAT product posting group at the tax rules level, based on the applicable sales or purchase transactions.

    • You can configure the VAT Special Regulations toggle on the Tax Management Setup page. When the toggle is turned on, the VAT Business Posting Group and VAT Product Posting Group fields are displayed in the tax rules and tax document lines.
    • When document tax lines are created during a sales or purchase transaction, the VAT Business Posting Group and/or VAT Product Posting Group field values are overridden by the values defined in the applicable tax rules, if the VAT Special Regulation toggle is turned on.
    • Upon releasing the sales or purchase document, the VAT Business Posting Group and/or VAT Product Posting Group field values on the document line and additional charge line are updated based on the values in the document tax lines.
    • If multiple document tax lines exist for a single item line, the system uses the values related to the default tax classification of the item to the original item line.

  • The Quantity field value on the Document Tax Lines page consistently reflects the original quantity from the source document line (sales, purchase, or transfer) rather than the posted or remaining quantity.

  • The system updates the Value field value on the Master Data Tax Values page based on the value defined in the Validation Type field.

  • The tax by bin functionality has been further optimized and integrated into standard Business Central processes.

    • The system checks the Bin Code field value in sales, purchase, and transfer documents even when the selected location does not use warehouse documents. If the Excise Type field value on the Location Card page changes during bin code validation, the system automatically updates the related document tax lines and adds or removes the corresponding additional charge lines.
    • When validating the bin code during the inventory pick, the system detects changes in the Excise Type field value and updates the related sales, purchase, or transfer document lines, along with their associated document tax lines and additional charge lines.
    • When validating the bin code in a sales, purchase, or transfer document line for a location where warehouse documents are not required, the system detects changes in the Excise Type field value and updates the related tax lines and additional charge lines. This update is no longer blocked when the status is Released.
    • The integration with the warehouse pick process has been optimized. The bin code validation during a warehouse pick triggers updates to the excise type, document lines, tax lines, and additional charge lines, similar to inventory picks.
    • When creating the inventory pick for sales, purchase, or transfer document in a mixed location, the system selects the appropriate pick bin code based on the excise type of each document line. The system filters the available bin content based on the excise type, ensuring that the correct bins are selected during warehouse operations when using the Create Inventory Put-away/Pick/Movement page.
