Question

The Business Registration No (BRN) field

The Business Registration No (BRN) field in QuickBooks online under customer details is too short limited to 12 digits, but some of our customers have more than 12 digit. Because it is required field for e-invoice, so it becomes unable to submit.

Adding more than 12 digits for a customer's BRN is a thoughtful idea, @ZS Chong. However, the option to do so is currently unavailable.

 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), please note that we're only allowed to input a unique set of 12 digits in Business Registration Numbers (BRN) for customers. The 12-digit BRN also serves as a standardized and unique identifier for businesses, ensuring compliance with local regulatory requirements.

 

Through this, it ensures accurate data entry and consistency in generating localized reports, invoices, and filings that align with business standards.

 

I'll add this guide to learn more about setting up e-invoice: How to set up e-invoicing in QBO.

 

You can also check this article to learn more about processing customer payments: Record invoice payments. (Although it's a US article, the process is also applicable to the Global region).

 

We'll be around to help you if you have any other concerns about BRN or invoices.

Thanks for the reply but sorry for the misunderstanding. My problem for the The Business Registration No (BRN) field is under Customer - Edit - Additional Info - Business Registration Number (BRN).
