The Intrastat Journal Templates window must be used for INTRASTAT reporting. All EU businesses must report their trade with other EU countries.
In the program, you can use the Intrastat Journal window for this reporting. You can either put the entries in the window yourself, or you can have the program import them automatically by clicking the Get Entries button on an intrastat journal. When you do this, the program imports only entries from the Item Ledger Entry table. If you have some G/L entries that should be included in the INTRASTAT report (for example purchase of office equipment for your own use from another EU country), you must put these entries in yourself.
In order for item entries to contain the necessary information when the program imports them to the intrastat journal line, you must have entered that information in the following tables:
You must fill in these tables before you begin to post.
Before you can use the Intrastat Journal window, you must decide which intrastat journal you will use. You do this in the Intrastat Jnl. Batches and Intrastat Journal Templates windows.
In the Intrastat Journal Templates window, you can create various types of intrastat journals if you need several different forms. Because INTRASTAT is reported monthly, you can use 12 intrastat journals based on the same template. You set up the names of these 12 journals in the Intrastat Jnl. Batches window. The information for INTRASTAT reporting itself is entered in the Intrastat Journal window.
You do not need to save the journals because you can delete the lines and use the journal again the next month. It is, however, best to create a journal for each month.
In the Intrastat Journal Templates window, you must set up a name for the journal template and a description of the template, and also specify the checklist report and form ID.
You must set up at least one template if you are required to report INTRASTAT.
