Reporting as Required by German Foreign Trade Regulations 

In Germany, Belgium, and Luxembourg, companies have to declare payables to and receivables from foreign customers/vendors to the relevant state central bank. This information is reported separately for companies which are members of a consolidation group and those which are not. The amounts involved are displayed according to country and currency. Vendor and customer items still open at the key date are broken down further.

You can print the forms you need for this using a program. As a prerequisite, you must have defined the state central bank indicators in the system. To do this, select Define SCB Indicator for Foreign Trade Regulations in the Accounts Payable/Receivable Implementation Guide.

To run the programs, proceed as follows from the General Ledger screen:

Periodic processing ® Closing ® Report ® General ledger reports.

You can find the relevant programs under Reporting in the reporting tree.
