Z4 reporting consists of specialized regulatory codes used for reporting cross-border transactions in Germany. These codes classify the type of cross-border payment (e.g., trade in goods, services, investments) for central bank reporting and contribute to the country’s balance of payments statistics.

Note

Z4 reporting codes are available only in the German localization of Continia Banking.

If you are required to report Anlage Z4 zur Außenwirtschaftsverordnung (AWV), you can create the report digitally in Dynamics 365 Business Central in the form of a file.

To view the Z4 reporting codes:

  • Search (Search) for and select External Codes for an overview of the code types in relation to the countries they are used for. Use the filters to find the regulatory reporting codes.

You can view or edit regulatory reporting codes on the vendor and customer card or on the ledger entry directly:

  • Open the card, then on the action bar, select Related > Vendor > Z4 Reporting Codes. Click New and open the default list of Z4 reporting codes. When you assign Z4 codes to a vendor card, those codes are automatically applied to all future purchase documents for that vendor.
