Overview

The Denmark section collects the features Business Central provides for Danish bookkeeping law, tax authority requirements and local business practice. The landing page gives an overview of compliance topics such as the bookkeeping act, 5-year data retention, digital vouchers, SAF-T export, the standard chart of accounts and VAT reconciliation reports.

Four subtopics go into detail: Auditing (CSV export to Regnskab Basis, SAF-T files, chart of accounts mapping), VAT (VAT Reconciliation report, Intrastat VAT numbers, VAT-VIES and EC Sales List), Banking & payments (Payments and Reconciliations (DK) extension, FIK codes), and Electronic invoicing (OIOUBL extension for public sector customers). A separate page covers the Payroll Data Definitions [DK] extension.

Start with the landing page for the overall picture, then open the subtopic that matches your task. For payroll, use the Payroll Data Definitions page to map transaction types to GL accounts and import provider files through the general journal.

Key points

• Auditing: export accounting data as CSV to Regnskab Basis, export and import SAF-T audit files, and map GL accounts to the Danish standard chart of accounts.
• VAT: print the VAT Reconciliation report, show VAT registration numbers with country codes in Intrastat, and report VAT-VIES with the EC Sales List.
• Banking: the Payments and Reconciliations (DK) extension supports Danish payment file formats, FIK and giro payments.
• FIK transaction text codes in the payment reconciliation journal help interpret automatic payment application results.
• Electronic invoicing uses the OIOUBL extension to create UBL 2.0 XML documents for Danish public sector customers.
• OIOUBL covers invoices, credit memos, reminders and finance charge memos, with customer fields for GLN, account code and profile code.
• Payroll Data Definitions [DK] imports transactions from providers like Danløn and Dataløn via data exchange definitions and the general journal.
