With BC v19 one of the Application changes affects the Posting Preview functionality.
Read more here.
The new Posting Preview feature can be enabled in the General Ledger Setup:
The way the posting preview worked until now is covered by Posting Preview Type = Standard.
So, if you don’t like the new Posting Preview (Extended) you can always use the previous one.
But let’s recall how the original Posting Preview looks like.
First, Search for General Ledger Setup and set the Posting Preview Type to Standard:
Open a sales order and choose Preview Posting; the image below shows only one group of ledgers, the Related Entries group:
Let’s now head to the General Ledger Setup and set the Posting Preview Type to Extended:
Then re-open the Sales Order and click on Post – > Preview Posting:
Notes:
- we can see now 3 groups:
- G/L Entries -> this is the place where will find the G/L Entries
- VAT Entries -> records from VAT Entry table
- Related Entries -> all the rest of the ledgers, including extension or custom entries
- Show Hierarchical View is a toggle on how G/L entries and VAT entries in the posting preview weather grouped by Account No.(if Hierarchical View is on) or as a list (if Hierarchical View is off).
And if we want to view the details we can use the toggle in the upper right corner of the group to expand or collapse the groups:
Of course, the new Posting Preview on journals looks and feels similar to the documents’ Posting Preview.
Hope this helps!

Hi Silviu. What you mean by “shows only one group of ledgers, the Related Entries group” ? you mean shows only all GL Accounts posted by the Sales Order ? and i don’t understand the “extended” feature ?! it separets Tax entries from non-tax entries ?
Hi Mike. Yes, with Standard all the entries are mixed together, g/l entries, tax entries, customer ledger entries, all are in one group. Its been like that since first version of NAV I worked with … With Extended, the posting entries are grouped in meaningful groups: g/l entries in one group, tax entries in one group, and related entries, like customer ledger entries in a third group. Nicer for the eyes :). Try it, set the field in General Leger Setup to Standard, then create a sales order, and Preview Post. Then switch it to Extended in GLS and run Preview Post. You can even expand in Extended mode the groups and you’ll see the same posting just nicer grouped.
