In the Spanish localisation of Dynamics 365 Business Central SaaS, organisations must comply with strict accounting regulations. One of the key requirements is the ability to generate official account book reports that can be submitted to auditors or tax authorities.
Business Central provides two specific reports for this purpose:
Official Account Book Report – shows all accounting entries grouped by transaction.
Summarised Official Account Book Report – provides a condensed view grouped by posting accounts or general ledger accounts
When printing these reports, users can configure several important fields:
Closing Entry Text – description for the period’s closing transaction.
Opening Entry Text – description for the period’s opening transaction.
First Page – this option allows you to define the starting page number of the report.
Example: if you include three introductory pages before the report, you can set the first page of the report to start at page 4.
This ensures consistent numbering across multiple print runs and avoids confusion when reports are reprinted or extended.
Show Amounts in Additional Currency – display values in a secondary reporting currency.
Filters – select the accounting period or posting ranges to include
The First Page field is particularly relevant in Spain, where official reports may need to be reprinted or extended with annexes. By renumbering the first page, organisations can:
Maintain continuity across multiple submissions.
Ensure auditors receive correctly sequenced documentation.
Avoid discrepancies when combining reports with supplementary information.
This feature reflects Microsoft’s commitment to supporting local fiscal compliance while maintaining flexibility in SaaS environments.
NOTE:To renumber the entry number for the period, go to "General Ledger Entries" and then to the option: Assign entry number for period.
The Spanish localisation of Business Central SaaS provides robust tools for fiscal compliance. The ability to renumber reports using the First Page option ensures clarity and consistency, especially when reports are printed multiple times or combined with additional documentation.
For auditors, accountants, and ERP consultants, this functionality is a small but critical detail that guarantees compliance and transparency in financial reporting.
