EU third-party purchase transactions

European Union (EU) third-party trade occurs when you receive a purchase invoice from a customer in one EU country/region, and the products are sent to a different EU country/region without entering the country of residence. The transaction amount can be identified and reported separately to comply with some EU countries'/regions' value-added tax (VAT) reporting and VAT Information Exchange System (VIES) requirements. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central enables purchase transactions to be set up as EU third-party trade. Posted EU third-party transactions can be filtered in VAT statements and excluded from the amount in the Sales to Customer column of the VAT-VIES Declaration Tax Auth report.

2. In the list, find and select Feature update: Replace the existing EU 3-Party Purchase functionality with the new EU 3-Party Trade Purchase extension.
3. In the Enabled for column, select All users.

If you use the German or Italian localization, you won't be able to enable this app because it's not compatible with certain VAT features in those localizations.
