Overview
The Belgium section describes what the Belgian version of Business Central adds on top of the base product. The landing page lists the main areas: VAT management, Intrastat reporting, CODA bank statements, electronic banking and payments, core finance operations, and electronic invoicing.
The detail sits in four subtopics. VAT (10 pages) covers declarations, annual listings, EC sales lists, manual corrections, non-deductible VAT and Intrastat. Banking & payments (14 pages) is the largest and covers electronic payments, export protocols, domiciliation direct debits and CODA import and posting. Core finance (3 pages) covers applying and unapplying general ledger entries, financial journals for CODA, and export to ACCON Plus. General (5 pages) covers posting and journal settings plus Belgian enterprise and branch numbers.
Start with General for basic setup such as posting period limits and journal templates. Then go to VAT or Banking & payments, depending on whether the task is tax and trade reporting or bank and payment processing.
