What is the AWV Z5a report?

The AWV Z5a report is a legally required report that companies in Germany must submit to the Deutsche Bundesbank. It contains information on foreign receivables and liabilities and is used for statistical purposes.

Reporting obligation and thresholds

The reporting obligation for the AWV Z5a report arises if the sum of a company's foreign receivables or liabilities at the end of the month amounts to EUR 5 million or more. Companies whose receivables or liabilities from financial relationships with foreign countries exceed EUR 500 million each must also report their receivables and liabilities from derivative financial instruments on a quarterly basis.

Benefits of the integrated AWV Z5a reporting in Microsoft Dynamics 365 FSCM

  • Fast and uncomplicated: The framework enables rapid integration into customer-specific processes. Once set up, the data can be easily called up and prepared for reporting.
  • Simple reporting: With one click, the data can be exported and uploaded to the Bundesbank portal (own access to AMS - Allgemeine Meldeportal Statistik- required).
  • Transparency and control: Dynamics 365 offers full control over the data to be reported and improves data quality.
  • Error prevention and cost savings: The increased transparency reduces the time and effort required for queries from the Bundesbank.
