Set up payment balance reporting (Belgium)

Use this procedure to set up Belgisch Luxemburgs Wissel Instituut (BLWI) information for Belgium. This procedure was created by using the USSI demo data company.

This functionality is available for legal entities that have their primary address in Belgium. Before you can complete this procedure, you must set up the registration ID for Belgium and enter the registration number that should be used to create the BLWI declaration.

  1. Go to Tax > Setup > Foreign trade > BLWI country/region groups.
  2. Click New.
  3. In the Group ID field, type a value.
  4. In the Description field, type a value.
  5. Click Add.
  6. In the Country/region field, enter or select a value.
  7. In the Description field, type a value.

Set up BLWI parameters

  1. Go to Tax > Setup > Foreign trade > BLWI parameters.

    • This parameter should be activated before you post customer/vendor transactions, so that the transactions are transferred to the payment balance.

    • In the Check BLWI code field, select the rule for checking that a payment purpose code is specified in documents. The available options are None, Warning, and Error. If a transaction has a customer/vendor that is located in a foreign country/region (that is, the country/region of the customer/vendor differs from the country/region of the legal entity), the transaction doesn't have an assigned payment purpose code, and the check is set to Warning or Error, either a warning or error message will be shown during posting. This validation is applied for all customer/vendor transactions except payment transactions.
  8. In the Format mapping field, enter or select a value.
    • Prerequisite: You should upload the BLWI format (BE) configuration for Electronic reporting (ER) from Microsoft Dynamics Lifecycle Services (LCS).

    • If you select Turnover in the Calculation type field, the customer/vendor transactions that are posted during the reporting period are transferred to the payment balance, and the amount that is reported is the total amount of the posted transaction. If you select Balance, the customer/vendor transactions that are open (not fully settled/closed) at the end of the reporting period are transferred to the payment balance, and the amount that is reported is the open (unsettled) amount of the posted transaction as of the end of the reporting period.
