The external sector is divided into two business areas in NExt:

• External sector reporting systems – Banks (AWB)
• External sector reporting systems – Nonbanks / Individuals (AWN).

The business areas are broken down into other business topics.

The Deutsche Bundesbank will take care of setting up user managers and extending the authorizations of existing user managers for the “AWB” work area. Please send the completed forms for appointing user managers to AMS@bundesbank.de.

Next has a simplified registration procedure for the “AWN” business area. Activation is now possible. Please have your reporting number ready and note the order in which the user registers. The first two users are automatically registered as user managers. After successful registration, they can invite or unlock additional users.

If you are already a NExt user in other business areas, please take advantage of the opportunity to independently expand your access. Users can make changes in the profile via the “Permissions” menu.

Note Third-party submittion rights

If you use the AMS to submit external sector reports, it is not mandatory to set up third-party submission rights in NExt. The third-party submission rights from the existing AMS will continue to be available in the new AMS.

If you submit reports for another reporting agent (e.g. tax advisers, lawyers, etc. for clients or groups for individual companies), you must first register for your own enterprise. The third-party submission rights for clients can then be applied for.
