# Finland (FI)

> Finland (FI) localization of Business Central 29. It covers bank reference files and reference numbers, domestic and foreign payment files, SEPA pain.001.001.09 export, automatic account codes, Finnish Intrastat, VAT-VIES declaration, depreciation differences, and Finnish service reports.

BC29 · country layer against W1 · Learn: [local functionality](../topics/business-central/business-functionality/local-functionality/finland.md) · narrative reviewed (checked by Opus)

## Overview

The Finnish layer is built mainly around electronic banking. Own objects in the 32000000 range handle bank reference file setup, import of customer payments (Import Ref. Payment), export of vendor payments (LUM and LMP reports), foreign payment types, and a Bank Nos Check codeunit. Reference No. fields are added to sales, reminder and journal tables, and payment message fields are added to purchase, ledger and payment buffer tables. Codeunit 13413 and report 13413 export SEPA credit transfers in pain.001.001.09.

Other local features are automatic account codes (tables 11203 and 11204, with an Auto. Acc. Group field on many lines), depreciation difference posting for fixed assets, Finnish Intrastat objects, VAT-VIES declaration support, a Print on Invoice flag on VAT posting groups, and a disregard payment discount at full payment option. Finnish service documents have their own reports.

Learn documents these under Finland Local Functionality, with pages on electronic banking, bank reference files, payment file generation, SEPA credit transfers, automatic account posting groups, Intrastat, VAT-VIES, and depreciation differences.

## Key points

- Bank reference files: setup, import of customer payments and linking to invoices by reference number, export of vendor payments in LUM and LMP formats
- SEPA credit transfer export in pain.001.001.09 through codeunit 13413 and report 13413
- Suggest Vendor Payments and Suggest Employee Payments are adapted, with payment message fields and domestic payment date handling
- Automatic account codes via Automatic Acc. Header and Line tables and an Auto. Acc. Group field on G/L accounts and document lines
- Depreciation difference between straight-line and declining balance posted by report 13402
- Finnish Intrastat report support with setup page extensions and export codeunits
- VAT-VIES declaration and VAT information printed on invoices through Print on Invoice flags
- Finnish service contract, quote, order and invoice reports

### Bank

Adds the Finnish electronic banking stack: bank reference file setup, import and export of reference payments, foreign payment types, bank payment suggestion, bank number check, and SEPA credit transfer export in pain.001.001.09.

Why: Learn describes domestic and foreign payments in LM03 and LUM2 formats, and the new SEPA format pain.001.001.09 exported by codeunit and report 13413.

Objects: [codeunit/32000000 "Ref. Payment Management"](../objects/codeunit/32000000-fi.md) (own), [table/32000000 "Reference File Setup"](../objects/table/32000000-fi.md) (own), [report/32000000 "Import Ref.

[All 24 objects of Bank in the diff](?ns=Bank#country-diff)

### Finance

Adds reference number, message and payment date fields to general journal lines, automatic account codes, Finnish G/L register report, currency exchange rate import and VIES declaration support. Codeunit 12 gets procedures to update imported and exported reference payments.

Why: Learn covers automatic account codes and the VAT-VIES declaration as Finnish requirements.

Objects: [table/81 "Gen. Journal Line"](../objects/table/81.md), [table/181 "Posted Gen. Journal Line"](../objects/table/181.md), [codeunit/12 "Gen.

[All 19 objects of Finance in the diff](?ns=Finance#country-diff)

### Purchases

[All 14 objects of Sales in the diff](?ns=Sales#country-diff)

### Inventory

Adds Finnish Intrastat reporting: management, export and totals codeunits, setup page extensions, a permission set extension and extra fields on Intrastat journal batch and line.

Why: Learn explains that EU companies must report trade with other EU countries and can file by file or manual form.

Objects: [codeunit/13406 "Intrastat Report Management FI"](../objects/codeunit/13406-fi.md) (own), [codeunit/13407 "Intrastat Report Exp. Ext.
