Overview

ERPNext Netherlands turns a vanilla ERPNext install into something a Dutch auditor and the Belastingdienst will accept without complaint. It's a thin, opinionated layer — it doesn't fork ERPNext, it adds what's missing.

Who this is for

Dutch-incorporated companies (BV, eenmanszaak, VOF) that need to file BTW returns, run SEPA payment batches, and produce XAF audit files on demand.
EU companies trading in the Netherlands that need the same compliance primitives but may also need EU-wide ICP/Intrastat (see erpnext_europe).
Accountants and auditors working in ERPNext who expect to see RGS reference codes on every GL account.

What's included

Area	Purpose
BTW Returns	OB declaration boxes 1a–5g, with drill-down to source invoices
SEPA Payments	Batch credit transfers in PAIN.001.001.03 XML, ready for ABN/ING/Rabobank/etc.
XAF Audit Export	XAF 3.2.1 audit file generation, schema-validated
RGS Chart of Accounts	Reference codes linked to your accounts, used by every Dutch accountant
Tax Categories	Seven preset categories (NL-Domestic, EU-B2B, Non-EU, etc.) for automatic VAT routing
Account Mapping	Tax Category + Item Group → correct income/expense account on every invoice line

What's not included

Payroll — the Dutch payroll module is separate (HRMS-based, sold via Prilk's payroll partner).
ICP / Intrastat reporting — moved to the erpnext_europe app to keep this localization focused on NL-only concerns.
e-Invoicing (PEPPOL) — handled by the separate edocument app, which composes cleanly on top of this one.

Compliance scope

Belastingdienst BTW filing requirements (current OB declaration form)
SEPA SCT credit-transfer rulebook (currently no SDD direct debit)
XAF 3.2.1 schema (the version Belastingdienst currently requires for audit exports)
RGS 3.5 reference scheme
