Dear all,
We are facing a huge problem with INTRASTAT and would kindly ask for your help.
Our problem is:
1) We are a German company, and we have the Vendor ABC. This Vendor is in multi-countries but we only work with ABC Germany. Therefore, in the vendor master record of ABC, we set the country DE and VAT Identification: DExxxxxxxxxx
2) We create purchase orders with Vendor ABC Germany. The purchase orders are not marked as an EU import trade, because the country of the vendor ABC is DE.
3) However, we get the delivery and invoice documents from ABC Netherlands with their VAT Identification NLxxxxxxxx. So the invoice are posted with the EU-Tax Code: EN. Well, the materials are from an EU-Country and they are delivered to us (Germany). So we have to report with INTRASTAT.
4) Now, the purchase orders must be reported with INTRASTAT. However, the cockpits ENGR don't select our purchase orders, because they are not marked as an Import. In Debugging-Mode, the variable EXNUM is checked (Number of foreign trade). This number only shows in the purchase order, if the vendor's country is not Germany (not our country).
5) We cannot change the country of the vendor ABC in the master data, because we have business with ABC Germany. We cannot create for each country of ABC an extra vendor account.
At the moment, when we create the purchase order, we don't know, where the materials are from, and we only know that our business partner is ABC Germany.
The only fact is that: we get the delivery and invoices, on which the word "EU - Import" and tax identification of ABC Netherlands.
I guess many of you have multi-country vendors and you have to do Intrastat reports. How do you solve this case in your company?
I would be thankful for your advice.
Best regards,
Thanh
