localization

To sell software products in a particular market, all its elements e.g., text, layout, graphics and multimedia, keyboard shortcuts, fonts, character sets locale data, as well as the product’s build process and packaging user interface, online help, databases, graphics, and documentation, must be localized and rigorously tested to meet the linguistically, culturally, cosmetically, functionally, and legal correct requirements of that market. ERP and CRM software that stores and processes sensitive data is in addition determined to meet all Turkish legal requirements.

Since Organizations with either local and/or international offices in Turkey need to make sure their ERP system meets Turkish legal requirements and localization for Turkey is not included in the standard functionality of Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP software, a localization add-on must be added to the ERP system.

Turkish Localization add-ons are available for both Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply chain management and Dynamics 365 Business Central through third-party companies.

LOCALIZATION for Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O

  • BA/BS. Here the BA/BS definition (bulk purchases/sales) takes place first, followed by data preparation, a summary creation, then inclusion, exclusion, and undefined transfers and updating tax number and tax office to BA/BS and BA/BS reconciliation. To finish, summary reports / XML and TR tax types are created in tax definitions.
  • Journal Numbering, Year-End Reports, and E-ledger. Each document recorded in Turkey must have a journal number. Depending on the number, the books (journal and general ledger) are suppressed, they are official records and documents that must be kept by the state for the company. There is an e-ledger requirement for companies with capital or sales over a certain amount. To meet these requirements, the add-in provides journal item numbering, a standard general ledger, and general ledger reports, an e-ledger, updating of document header data in the e-ledger, an e-ledger pool, and the possibility of e-ledger integrations with integrators.
