# Switzerland

It answers how-to questions on Swiss-specific setup, reporting and processing.

## Overview

The Switzerland section describes features added or changed in the Swiss version of Business Central. An overview page lists the main areas: Swiss VAT statements, QR-bill management, LSV and ESR payment methods, delivery reminders, Swiss general ledger accounts and inventory management.

The pages are grouped into six subtopics. Banking & Payments is the largest, with 12 pages on ESR, LSV+ direct debit, QR-bills, SEPA credit transfers, bank clearing number import and the Vendor Payments List report. Purchasing has 8 pages on delivery reminders. Core finance has 5 pages and VAT has 4. Inventory and General have 2 pages each.

Start with the overview page to see what applies to your setup. Then go to the subtopic that matches your task: VAT for reporting and rate changes, Banking & Payments for Swiss payment formats, and Core finance for general ledger behavior.

## Key points

- VAT: create and print Swiss VAT statements (current and older version), adjust VAT amounts and exchange rates, and handle VAT rate changes.
- Banking & Payments: ESR, LSV+ direct debit, QR-bills and SEPA credit transfers, covering collecting, exporting, importing, posting and printing.
- Banking also includes bank clearing number import and the Vendor Payments List report.
- Core finance: general ledger balances, Swiss G/L accounts, temporary balance previews in journals, VAT exchange rate adjustment and the G/L Setup Information report.
- Purchasing: delivery reminders to vendors, including setup, code assignment, manual creation, batch generation, test reports and issuing.
- Inventory: print inventory picking lists from sales orders, and Swiss inventory behavior such as default location codes and multiple shipments per invoice.
- General: import Swiss post codes from Swiss Post, and Swiss-specific behavior of purchase and sales documents (posting descriptions, subtotals, invoice rounding, shipment printing).
