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.
