Validator for tax indicator set in distribute
For our ERP system the information on tax code applied is crucial - a transaction sent without vat code will be rejected.
Currently there is no validation when distributing that no vat code was coded and thus missing. So it possible to distribute an invoice without having added a vat code. In case of vat amount being zero (no vat or reverse charge for inter community purchases) also validation on vat amount wouldn't prevent this.
Before sending invoice to ERP or to post control there is however such validation and in this case an approved invoice without having a vat code in a line would go to post control. However there it is too late in this case.
So recommendable to have such validation already in distribute step.

It's really time consuming today when our accountants need to add the missing VAT indicator/code at post control.
The VAT validation rule should at least be implemented before approval of invoices. That means that the approver will be noticed if the VAT code is missing when pressing OK without a valid VAT code.

This features should be implemented as a Validator Configuration the same way as "ForceCommentWhenRejecting".
The validator should be able to force users to enter a tax code, either in distribute step(if not automatically distributed), or in code an authorize.
Correcting invoices with missing tax-codes are a manual task consumes unnecessary time for accounting. Grater AP automation could easily be achieved with such a validator!
