In Europe the hard part of an ERP project is usually not the ledger but data governance: who may see what, where it is stored, how it is erased, and how you prove it. Apus answers with a deployment model rather than a clause.
No European country carries source-verified compliance facts on this site yet. The four axes below cover the mechanics — and here the fourth one carries the most weight.
Parallel ledgers: one posting produces the local statutory report and the group report side by side — nothing is booked twice.
A European group usually carries several small entities across several countries; the real cost sits in the periodic consolidation, not in day-to-day bookkeeping.
Issuing, archiving and reconciling documents sits in the configuration and integration layer — never a code branch per country.
Electronic document regimes in Europe are fragmented by country and tightening. Apus handles them in the configuration and integration layer, with the per-country scope agreed during discovery.
Pay cycles, mandatory contributions and contract records follow each jurisdiction, on the same data layer as finance.
Labour rules here are strict and differ clearly between countries; contract records, pay cycles and mandatory contributions are configuration per entity.
Three deployment models decide where the data sits; permissions and access logs are one shared design across every legal regime.
GDPR is the framework Apus was designed against: permissions, access logs, retention policy and data-subject rights. If the requirement is that data never leaves a specific infrastructure, that is the on-premise or source-code model, not a promise on paper.

The rest of the region — no verified source yet:
An empty cell means Apus has not verified a source for that country — not that the country has no rules. Deployment is still possible; the exact compliance scope is agreed during discovery.
Not localization bolted on afterwards — these mechanisms live in the data core and are shared by every market.
Headquarters and each subsidiary are separate legal entities inside one system — not one installation per country reconciled by hand.
A single posting produces reports under IFRS and under the local standard in parallel — nothing is booked twice.
Transact in each market's currency; consolidate into the group's reporting currency as part of the close process.
Country differences live in the configuration layer — standards, document templates, tax — so every market runs the same maintained core.
For Vietnamese companies, Europe is usually an export market before it is a place to incorporate — and when the entity appears it tends to be small in headcount while carrying full reporting obligations. That is precisely the kind of entity global ERP vendors are reluctant to serve, and precisely the kind Apus adds as a configuration.
Served directly from Vietnam together with regional partners — discovery and delivery remote or on-site, scoped per project.
No — where the data sits follows from the model you choose. The on-premise edition runs on your own infrastructure and the source-code handover goes further still; on SaaS, the infrastructure region is part of what is agreed during discovery.
The trust centre publishes the security design, the service levels and the limits Apus does not commit to; the security overview document can be requested there. The contractual legal review itself stays between the two legal teams, not a web page.
Apus serves customers globally: the platform runs in ten languages, local accounting standards are handled in configuration, and delivery combines remote work from Vietnam with partners — projects outside Vietnam run in English by default. Tell us about your market.
