Topic overview
Intrastat is a statistical system for collecting information and determining the status of intra-Community transactions. Thanks to the Intrastat application in Comarch ERP Enterprise, you can generate Intrastat declarations based on appropriate settings in the system. You can specify declaration data required by relevant EU countries and map differences between designations in different countries. With Comarch ERP Enterprise, you can determine the data required for the Intrastat declarations in such countries as Germany, Austria, Poland, France and enter them into a file.
Intrastat is a sort of common statistical system for the circulation of goods, including trade between Member States of the European Union. It is based on the data from relevant declarations:
- Intrastat – import
- Intrastat – export
The party obliged to prepare an Intrastat declaration submits it to the competent authority in the country in which his or her business is registered.
For the Intrastat declaration, the items have to be classified according to the Combined Nomenclature (ICN), which contains commodity codes under which similar items are combined. The party obliged to submit the information can obtain this nomenclature from the competent Intrastat authority.
Intrastat configuration
The Intrastat function is activated in the Customizing application. The following data need to be completed there:
- Encoding type – determines the identification of the regions to be declared while outputting the Intrastat declaration files for the third software. Encoding types are defined in the Encoding types
- Weight unit – included during generation of the Intrastat declaration proposition, it is defined in the Units
- Include service – if activated, services will be included when calculating the Intrastat declaration proposition.
- Incoterms required – upon activation it determines whether the Incoterms data will be required, for instance, in a sales order.
- Invoice value – the amount by which the original amount in the Intrastat declaration proposition may differ
- Statistical value – it is based on the invoice amount by which the statistical value, agreed originally in the Intrastat declaration, may differ from the statistical value resulting, for instance, from the corrected invoice
- Net weight – the percentage by which the weight specified in the declaration proposition may differ
- Supplementary unit – the percentage by which the quantity in the unit specified earlier in the Weight unit field may differ from the quantity in the declaration
