In the October 2023 release of Dynamics 365 Business Central, users will have the ability to utilize multiple Customer and Vendor Posting Groups on Sales and Purchasing Documents. Here’s a step-by-step guide for configuring this functionality in the Sales & Receivables Module.

How to Configure Multiple Customer and Vendor Posting Groups in Business Central

In the Sales & Receivables Setup window, turn on the Allow Multiple Posting Groups Option. The Alternative Groups option is the default setting.
