Localization Finland

Language

ExFlow supports Finnish language in Business Central.

Payment Reference

Background

Finland has a requirement of a payment reference on their purchase invoices.

This payment reference is in fact two different fields: Message Type and Invoice Message.

Standard Finnish local functionality from Microsoft contains three fields in Purchase Header.

• Message Type (Mandatory)

• Invoice Message (Mandatory)

• Invoice Message 2

Message Type specifies what kind of Invoice Message to expect. Message Type can be one of following:

• Reference No.

• Invoice Information

• Message

• Long Message

• Tax Message

Message Type and Invoice Message are mandatory fields and must exist on the imported invoice in ExFlow Import Journal.

Check Finnish Reference

When the Purchase Invoice is created from the ExFlow Import Journal, Message Type and Invoice Message is transferred to the correct fields on the Purchase Invoice header.

This functionality is configured and activated in ExFlow Setup with Finnish settings called "Check Reference" and "Message Type".

The ''Check Reference'' setting is located it in the section "Doc. Creation checks", in a Finnish environment.

Both settings: ''Check References'' and ''Message Type'' can also be found and set on a vendor level.

Check Reference
No check	Check is inactivated.
No empty	Invoice Message cannot be empty.
No empty + Reference no. format	Invoice Message cannot be empty, and the format of the message will be checked. (Requires that "Message Type" = Reference No.)

ExFlow Setup

Use Vendor Document No. if Invoice Message is empty

Go to: ExFlow Setup --> OCR Import and enable the setting Use Vendor Document No. if Invoice Message is empty.

This setting specifies if the interpreted Vendor Document No. should be used in Invoice Message as well, if Invoice Message is empty. The Message type will then be set to ''Message''. This will ease the process if working with non domestic documents without Reference No.

ExFlow Setup vs. Vendor Setup

If Invoice Message (1501) is blank in the Import Journal Header and ExFlow setup ”Use Vendor Document No. If Invoice Message is Empty” is enabled. Then the Invoice Message will be Vendor Document No. and Message Type will be change from Reference No. to Message.

If Vendor Setup has Reference No. as Message Type, then the Message Type changes from ''Reference No.'' to ''Message'' if Invoice Message is equal to Document No.

If a Vendor Setup exists with something else than Reference No., then the Message Type will always be as it is in Vendor Setup. This will be applied if the ExFlow Setup setting ”Use Vendor Document No. if Invoice Message is Empty” is disabled.

Vendor Setup

Choose another Message Type in Vendor Setup

Go to: ExFlow Vendor Setup --> General --> Message Type

The standard ''Message Type'' in Import Journal is set to "Reference No." by default. However, it is possible to go to Vendor Setup Card and set another Message Type for a specific vendor, if needed.

Import Journal

Reference No. to ExFlow Contract Self-Billing Invoices

When creating Self Invoices, Self-billing Message Type (for the Reference No.) and Self-billing Invoice Message will be copied to Import Journal Header.

On the Contracts Invoice Periods, the fields: ''Self-billing Message Type'' and ''Self-billing Invoice Message'' are also entered, for users to make manual adjustments per line. This will also follow to Import Journal.
