Business Central Hungarian localization
Legal, tax and accounting compliance with Hungarian regulations in Business Central
Everything you need for Hungarian accounting, taxation
and reporting to government agencies
The Hungarian localization of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central ensures that the system complies with domestic accounting, tax, and regulatory reporting requirements. The official localization package for Business Central supports, among other things, NAV Online Invoice reporting, VAT management, ÁNYK exports, EKÁER processes, Intrastat declarations, as well as Hungarian financial and document-related specifics.
Why is a Hungarian localization needed for the Business Central enterprise resource planning system?
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is an international enterprise resource planning (ERP) system; therefore, when used in Hungary, it requires localization features that support compliance with domestic tax, accounting, financial, and regulatory reporting requirements. These include, among others,
the NAV Online Invoice connection, VAT management, ÁNYK export, preparation of EKÁER declarations, Intrastat reporting,
and the handling of Hungarian document formats.

The system provides an automated, real-time connection to the NAV Online Invoice system in accordance with the XML 3.0 schema.

The module also handles invoice chains, correction documents, and self-billing.
ÁNYK Form Filler Connections
It enables the structured export of the data required for tax returns (XX65A, XX65M, XX60A/VIES) to the ÁNYK application. The feature continuously follows the current statutory requirements and the amendments introduced each year, thereby ensuring that itemized annexes (M sheets) and reverse-charge VAT sheets (07/08) are always reported in compliance with the applicable regulations, for example on a HUF basis.
Report on the utilization of supplier advances on form 65M
It supports the reporting of the use of supplier advances on Form M of the xx65 tax return. It handles the marking of purchase advances, the related VAT accounting settings, and the generation of data that can be imported into the ÁNYK system.
NAV Invoice Downloader Module
This solution allows you to download invoices submitted by suppliers to the NAV Online Invoice system into Business Central. After verification, purchase invoices can be generated from the downloaded data, which processes the data submitted to NAV.
Audit XML for auditors
A specific export feature designed to support audits, which includes detailed account information and general ledger entry data linked to technical contra accounts to improve the traceability of business transactions.
EKÁER module

Tax Authority Audit Data Service (SAF-T / Audit XML)
A mandatory feature required by Decree No. 23/2014 (June 30) of the Ministry of National Economy, which allows the data from issued invoices to be exported in XML format for tax authority audits. The export can be initiated based on a date range or an invoice number range.

VAT Settlement Date Management
This localization introduces the concept of a VAT performance date that differs from the accounting date into the entire system, which is available on all documents, journals, and posted entries. On the purchase side, a separate field is provided for recording the Original VAT performance date to ensure compliance with legal requirements (e.g., the "three-step rule" for reverse charge, handling of late invoices).
Continuous Fulfillment Management
