Introduce a generic Continuous Transaction Controls (CTC) framework in Business Central to support real-time tax reporting and e-invoicing mandates across multiple jurisdictions. This should build on the E-Documents framework (which already supports PEPPOL and clearance models) and make it configurable for global CTC regimes.

Key Features

• Core Engine for submission lifecycle: Prepare → Validate → Sign → Submit → Track → Archive.
• Plug-in Adapters for country-specific rules
• Job Queue Integration for retries and scheduling.
• Evidence Storage for signed payloads and acknowledgements.
• Telemetry for submission success/failure and latency.
• Optional Azure Bridge for cryptographic signing and secure API calls.

Benefits

• Future-proof for global mandates.
• Reduces cost of compliance for multi-country deployments.
• Simplifies upgrade path by isolating country logic.
• Aligns with Microsoft’s roadmap focus on E-Documents and clearance models.
