Overview

The Austria section describes features specific to the Austrian version of Business Central. The landing page lists the main areas: VAT reporting, banking and payments, and purchasing. It mentions delivery reminders and the vendor payments list, and it references 2026 release wave 2.

The pages are split into three subtopics plus one standalone page. VAT covers the VAT statement and the VAT reporting XML reports. Purchasing covers delivery reminders for overdue vendor deliveries. General covers audit data export and a setup information report. The standalone page explains how to print the Vendor Payments List report.

Start with the subtopic that matches your task. For delivery reminders, set up terms, levels and text first, then assign codes to vendors. For auditors or setup checks, use the General pages.
