Business Central offers updates to regulatory features based on popular requests for improvements and ever-changing requirements from local authorities. To give our customers peace of mind and enable them to focus on their core business, we automate many processes and ensure that features comply with the regulations set by government agencies. For example, if local regulations require that you create vouchers that serve as proof of transactions and a detailed audit trail, you can automate the process. Business Central can automatically generate and attach vouchers to general ledger entries, so that accountants can rest assured that they’re compliant, without extra steps. The retention policy features let you specify how long you need to store vouchers before you clean them up, giving you more control over the amount of data you store.

We’re working to make regulatory features a standard part of Business Central, so that we can deliver improvements out of the box across the countries and regions where they’re relevant. For example, the E-documents module is a foundation that supports processes for sales and purchase invoicing, and it’s easy for partners to extend by building country-specific apps for e-invoicing.
