Centara additions to the standard BC Reason Codes and Return Reasons lists: international code mapping for use in PEPPOL e-Documents.

Reason Codes & Return Reasons — Centara fields

BC pages: Reason Codes (List), Return Reasons (List) · Search: “Reason Codes” / “Return Reasons” Standard BC documentation: Microsoft Learn — Set Up Reason Codes

This page documents only the Centara additions to the standard Business Central Reason Codes and Return Reasons lists. Standard BC fields (Code, Description) are documented on Microsoft Learn.

The Centara eMessaging extension adds an International Code column to both lists. Outbound PEPPOL documents reference this international code (typically from the UNECE Recommendation 4461 / UN/CEFACT code lists) rather than the local BC code, so trading partners receive a value they can interpret regardless of locale.
