Field help (PIHBELVCS)

Field linked to the Belgian legislation. 
It is used to specify the VCS number on an invoice (VCS refers to transfers with structured format communication) and to facilitate bank reconciliation.

Reminder: the structured communication consists in specifying a single identifier on the invoices that will be used in all the banking exchanges.

The encoding number is made up of 12 numeric characters:

• 10 digits (two characters defining the year + eight characters defining a sequence number),
• 2 control digits calculated according to the check digit modulo 97 rule.

In the case of purchase invoices and supplier BP invoices, the encoding number is controlled and can be entered. It is performed:

• If activity code KBE is abled
• If the BELVCS parameter is set to 'Yes'
• If the invoice does not have the pro forma type
• If the supplier is Belgian.

 In case of a site modification, the display of the 'VCS number' field is reinitialized.
