Intrastat Purchase
If your business is situated in an EU country and its trade with companies in other EU countries is greater than the threshold value, you will need to send an Intrastat report periodically to the relevant authorities. You can produce this report using the
Intrastat P/L document. This document should include the country of origin of each Item you have purchased. The Intrastat Purchase setting determines where this information (i.e. the country of origin of an Item) will be taken from.
To open the setting, ensure you are in the Purchase Ledger and click the [Settings] button in the Master Control panel or use the Ctrl-S/⌘-S keyboard shortcut. Double-click 'Intrastat Purchase' in the 'Settings' list to open the 'Intrastat Purchase: Inspect' window. After making any changes to the setting, click [Save] to save and close the window. Click the close box to close without saving changes.
- Country of Origin from Goods Receipts
- Use this option if you would like the country of origin of each Item when printed in the "Country of Origin" field in the Intrastat P/L document to be taken from the Country of O. field on flip F of the relevant Goods Receipt row.
- If you are using this option, you must also use the Transfer Each Row Separately and Invoices Based on Goods Receipts options in the Purchase Invoice Settings setting if you will create Purchase Invoices from Purchase Orders. This will ensure that Purchase Invoice rows are correctly connected to Goods Receipt rows, enabling the correct countries of origin to be reported. Purchase Invoices created from Goods Receipts do not need you to use the Invoices Based on Goods Receipts option in order to have the correct connections in place.
- If you do not use this option, the country of origin of an Item will be taken from the third line of the Address in the Source record that is specified as the Default Source in the Item record. You must therefore ensure that each Item has a correctly configured Default Source.
- Note that this option only affects the "Country of Origin" field in the Intrastat P/L document. The same field in the Intrastat S/L document will always take the country of origin of each Item from the third line of the Address in its Default Source record, as will the following export functions in the Purchase and Sales Ledgers: Intrastat P/L (Estonia); Intrastat S/L (Estonia); Intrastat S/L (Finland); Intrastat P/L (Germany); Intrastat S/L (Germany) and Intrastat S/L (Sweden IDEP-SCB).The Intrastat P/L (Finland) export will take the country of origin from the Country of Origin field in an Item's Default Purchase Item. If that is blank or an Item does not have a Default Purchase Item, the country of origin will again be taken from the third line of the Address in the Item's Default Source.
- This option is used by Ist@at - Items Import, a Purchase Ledger export function only available if the VAT Law in the Company Info setting is set to "Polish". This function exports Intrastat information to the government-supplied Ist@at application that then creates and signs Intrastat declarations. If you are using this option, the country of origin of each Item will be taken from the Country of O. field on flip F of the relevant Goods Receipt row, as already described. If the Country of O. field is empty or you are not using this option, the country of origin will be taken from the Purchase Item for the Item/Supplier combination.
