A wee k or so ago, one of my colleagues contacted me from one of our customers. She was setting up VAT reporting for Germany and in the instructions it says that in order to set it up you will need to import a data package from the LCS Shared Asset Library. When she goes to the Shared Asset Library in LCS it is completely empty.

It turns out that this customer is in the EU LCS tenant and Microsoft has not populated the Shared Asset Library in EU. To get to the files there is a fairlysimple solution:

1. Before you log into LCS, make sure you are in the United States region
   
   
   
2. Log in to LCS. Note: You will not see your project in the list of projects. It will be empty. Don’t worry, it is by design.
3. Go to the Shared Asset Library – Data Packages. Find the package you are looking for, click it to download it.
4. Log out from LCS, switch region and log in again.
5. If you want it in you projects Asset Library, go to the Asset Library an Upload the package.
   
   That is all for today, good luck 🙂
