Dynamics NAV: Sales Line with Tax Amount Makes Deferral G/L Entries Incorrect

On the Encore Business Solutions blog, Liezl Javier stated that one of the new features of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 is deferrals, which allows a user to defer revenue or expenses over a specified period.

Microsoft created this so you have only to set up Deferral templates, according to Javier. In addition, depending on the company's business requirements, you can manually assign the deferral code during transactions, or make the deferral code a default to Item cards and chart of accounts, she stated.

However, some issues exist around the calculation of deferrals if the sales/purchase lines are taxable. Microsoft released the Cumulative Update 12 for NAV 2016 (Build 47042) to fix this issue, Javier stated.
