Collected VAT VIES DE supports the preparation of a consolidated German VAT VIES declaration by collecting selected company data and exporting it as a CSV file for the reporting process.
The app is intended for organizations that use multiple companies in Business Central and need a controlled way to flag which companies are included in the combined declaration and generate the related sales VAT output.
The app is configured from the Companies page. A company is marked as part of the collected VAT VIES declaration by setting a company-level flag, and this selection becomes the basis for the report that prepares the CSV output.
Company selection
Field
What it does
Collected VAT Vies DE
When enabled for a company, the company is included in the consolidated declaration process. When disabled, the company is removed from the collected setup data.
What the system does
When the field is set to true, the app creates a record in the collected declaration table for the company name.
When the field is switched off, the app removes the company from the collected set.
The report later reads the selected companies and the related VAT entries to build the output file.
Before you start
Make sure the relevant company names are available in the Companies list.
Check whether the company has sales VAT entries with the required VAT reporting date and tax settings.
Ensure users have the permission set that grants access to the collected VIES table and report.
The Companies page is the setup area for determining which companies are included in the collected VAT VIES declaration. This page is not a transaction page itself; it is the entry point for the company-level selection that drives the export report.
What this page is used for
Use this page to decide which companies belong to the consolidated German VAT VIES declaration. Each company can be marked or cleared individually, and the selection is then used by the export report when it reads the relevant VAT entries.

Docs / Solution / Collected VAT VIES DE / Tasks Working with the App
The app supports a simple process: define which companies participate, then run the report that extracts the relevant VAT entries and writes a CSV file for the collected VAT VIES declaration.
Before you start
Open the Companies list and decide which companies belong to the collected declaration.
Verify the VAT entries for those companies are available for the relevant reporting period.
Use the permission set delivered with the app to ensure the report can be executed.
Main process
Open the Companies page and enable the Collected VAT Vies DE field for each company that should be included.
Run the Collected VAT- VIES Declaration (CSV) DE report.
Use the request page options to decide whether amounts are shown in an additional reporting currency and which file versions should be used.
Review the generated CSV file and confirm the data is valid for the declaration period.
Important report behavior
The report only processes sale-type VAT entries and can filter by VAT business posting group, VAT product posting group, and VAT reporting date.
It groups entries by VAT registration number and country/region when preparing the output lines.
The export file includes the VAT registration number, amount, and the service/item classification for the declaration.
