ZM Message

  • Updated

Table of Contents 

With the ZM Message module, the so-called "recapitulative statements" about intra-Community services to companies in the EU are exported from xentral. The exported table can, for example, be saved locally or uploaded in the tax software Elster.

Note: The ZM is valid only for deliveries from the country of the company location, in the system settings (no PAN-EU)!

Features

  • Shows in the overview all invoices that not only have the status "created" whose country of invoice is an EU country and in which the VAT ID field is filled
  • The following columns are included in the downloaded comma-separated CSV file:
    • Country code → Invoice country in ISO-2 format (e.g. NL, FR, ES)
    • VAT ID number → from the invoice, without preceding country code
    • Amount(Euro) → gross amount of the invoice

Background information on services

Basically, the following abbreviations are possible:

  • D = Intra-community triangular transaction
  • L = Intra-Community supply
  • S = Other (service) supply

Overview

At the top of the app is a filter with date fields that can be used to control, down to the day, for which period the ZM message should be created. 

Once a filter is set and "Load" is clicked, entries are created in the live table. You can see all invoices that have been sent to customers from EU foreign countries, provided that the customers were companies with VAT IDs, who were not required to pay sales tax on the order.

Download

About the button "ZM message download" on the right, all entries in the set period can then be exported as a CSV file. This file can in various control programs, etc. imported and used.
