Output Options Z4 AND Z5A Reports for Germany

You can now use CSV output options for Z4 and Z5A reports for Germany, as specified by the German Federal Bank. You can submit the output of these reports directly to the tax authorities without editing or reformatting.

You can choose the new layouts from the Output tab before submitting the reports.

The new layouts simplify compliance with German Federal Bank reporting requirements.

• The Z5A reports now consider unapplied receipts, on-account receipts and on-account credit memos.
• The Z5A reports support a descriptive flexfield as an alternative way of classifying suppliers as internal or external, in cases where the Supplier Type field is not available for that purpose.

You must complete the additional setup to use a descriptive flexfield.

Follow these steps:

1. Create a global segment for Z5A supplier classification
2. Navigate to Setup and Maintenance, search for Manage Supplier Descriptive Flexfields. In the Manage Supplier Descriptive Flexfields page, select POZ_SUPPLIERS and click Edit.
3. Choose a Supplier Profile and click Edit.
4. Click the Plus (+) icon to create a new global segment.
5. Click Save and Close.
6. Deploy the flexfield.
7. Navigate to Setup and Maintenance, search for Manage Standard Lookups.
8. Search for the JE_ENABLE_FEATURE lookup type. If it is not defined, create it.
9. In the Lookup Codes section, add and enable the Z5A_22D_OI_AP_CLASSIF_DFF lookup code.
10. In the Meaning field, enter the attribute column name of the supplier descriptive flexfield code POZ_SUPPLIERS you use for storing the supplier type e.g. ATTRIBUTE16.
11. Click Save.

You can now use the descriptive flexfield to store the supplier type.
