Forecloud Technologies Pvt. Ltd. - Business Central 2025 wave 2 (BC27): Use alternative posting groups for employees

Business value

Sometimes businesses want to post payable and receivable transactions to a different general ledger (G/L) account than the one that's specified on the employee posting group. This can include scenarios where employee travel expenses need to be post to a different financial account than the one used for regular payroll transactions. Controllers can define policies for posting these transactions, and accountants can change them during posting.
