Hi All
Please kindly provide advice how to rollout Business Central (BC) to different regions of the world from a VAT perspective.
We have sales and manufacturing companies in Singapore, UK and US. From MSFT documentation, BC VAT or Sales Tax is taken care of by MSFT and local partners in Singapore will have to provide localization of GST. At installation, we have to select which region to install. If we select UK, then all the necessary VAT for UK are installed. How do we have both UK and US VAT and Sales Tax be installed in the same tenant but different BC company codes.
Would appreciate your insight.
Hi Inge, I would have thought that for MNCs, their M365 subscriptions across the world will be in a single tenant. If other apps are in different tenants, setting up Azure AD can be extremely complicated. But I guess, if Microsoft does not want to invest to make Business Central operate across regions in a single tenant, there is nothing much we can do.
[/quote]Well i am pretty sure that you can have Business Central covering at least 3 different regions connected to one single Azure AD tenant.
I have read some information about that somewhere. I will keep looking for it and update here if i can find the links. Or maybe one of the MS employees sees this and can help us out here.
Hi, there is a out of box feature, but I think this may only meet part of your needs.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/company-hub-add-company
I also did a simple test before.
Hope this info also helps.
Thanks.

Hi Zhu, thanks for the quick response and your reference to the doc has been super helpful. So we could possibly get 3 environments for different regions. My question than is how to consolidate all the sales, purchase, inventory and esp the financials across the environments? Does BC has the standard functions for that?

Hi, I don't think you need multiple tenants, just create multiple environments in different regions in the same tenant.
One environment uses one database, so the extensions installed will affect other companies within the same environment.
And some localization packs can only be installed in the specific region area, such as J-Pack in Japan, which can only be installed in an environment where the region is JP.
This is also mentioned in MS Docs.
Hope this will help.
Thanks.

You will need separate tenants for separate localizations. You will have to work with one or more CSP partners that together with Microsoft can help you initiate several Business Central instances connected to your Azure AD. There is a limit of how many Business Central tenants you can have connected to one Azure AD but i can not remember what is the current limit. But if you work in different countries you might already have several Azure AD tenants.
