BC29 · country layer against W1 · Learn: local functionality · narrative reviewed (checked by Opus)

Overview

The AU layer is large: 292 objects, about 468 added fields, 218 procedures and 22 events. The main capabilities are GST (including full GST on prepayments and ACY amount fields), the BAS (own BAS setup, calculation sheet, export and business unit objects, plus BAS fields on G/L, VAT and journal tables), and withholding tax (own WHT posting groups, WHT entries, WHTManagement codeunit 28040, settlement and certificate reports). Posting codeunits such as Gen. Jnl.-Post Line, Sales-Post and Purch.-Post are extended with WHT and GST procedures.

Other local features: ABN on company, customer, vendor and contact records with validation, adjustment notes with BAS adjustment fields, posted tax invoice and credit memo pages and reports, EFT payment files and register, post-dated checks, Australian address validation with counties and barcode printing, and cost-plus pricing on price lines. An AU subscriber for the expense agent and incoming document vendor lookup by ABN are also present.
