What is a VBD?

As the help mentions a VBD is the term for a user customization in posting ruled, but what does the mnemonic VBD stand for? Why didn’t they name it CIPR instead?

I nearly thought is meant Virtually Bad Day, considering if you stuff up your posting rules you will be in a bit of pain. :slight_smile:

Found it Page 76 of the 10.2.400 Posting Rules Tech Reference.

VBD = Virtual Business Document

I was thinking of Volume Based Discount

Ugh, gross. Posting rules. I’ll always have an Epicor certified financial consultant modify those.

Are they really meant to be modified by an Applications/IT admin other than the initial install/upgrade? Or a more Finance oriented person(s)

You can essentially cook the books with those.

In my humble opinion only a Certified consultant should be tampering with the posting rules. The tech ref is 972 pages long. That’s longer than the configurator tech reference!

Maybe you can find someone whos never done it before, they might surprise you without reading a single page and within 3 days - they will have it all set, ready to go. I heard they exist. In the USA we call this magical place CraigsList
