Before you can use the Intrastat Journal, you must decide which Intrastat journal templates and batches you will use. You do this in the Intrastat Journal Templates and Intrastat Jnl. Batches windows.
Open the Intrastat Journal Templates window. In this window you can create several templates if you need several different forms.
Assign a Name and Description for each template.
Because Intrastat is reported monthly, you must create 12 Intrastat journals based on the same template. You set up the names of these 12 journals in the Intrastat Jnl. Batches window.
Intrastat Journal Batches are not similar in structure to other journal batches in the program.
Select the template for which you would like to create batches. Click Template, Batches.
Enter a Name and Description for each batch. It is recommended that a unique Intrastat Journal Batch is created for each month.
On each batch line, set up the relevant information in the fields.
In the Statistics Period field, enter the statistics period as a four-digit number where the first two digits represent the year and the next two digits represent the month. (For example, enter 0806 for June 2008.)
In the Currency Identifier field, enter a code that identifies the currency of the Intrastat report. For example, you can enter EUR for euro and USD for US dollars.
Place a check mark in the Amounts in Add. Currency field if you want the Intrastat report to display in the additional reporting currency.
The Reported field is automatically filled when you run the Intrastat - Make Disk Tax Auth batch job. If you need to re-run that batch job, you can manually uncheck this field.
