Intrastat Effects of EMT Orders
Intrastat features support regulatory-agency reporting requirements for tracking business transactions involving companies in countries that are members of the European Union (EU).
See User Guide: QAD Intrastat for information on Intrastat.
If your EMT orders involve direct shipments among trading partners in multiple EU nations, specific rules apply to which trading partner—the PBU, the SBU, or the end customer—is responsible for reporting the transaction.
When you receive a PO shipper or post an invoice for a direct-ship Intrastat item, the system uses the following rules to determine whether to create an Intrastat history record, which is used as the basis for reporting:
Dispatches: When the PBU and SBU are in the same country, the PBU is responsible for reporting the shipment. When they are in different countries, the SBU is responsible.
Arrivals: When the PBU and the end customer are in the same country, the PBU is responsible for reporting the receipt. When they are in different countries, the end customer is responsible.
Note: Standard Intrastat logic applies to non-EMT and transshipment items. Setting Up EMT
EMT setup is required at both the PBU and the SBU. Most EMT setup takes place at the PBU, and consists of defining appropriate default values. EMT Setup Workflow illustrates a general workflow for setup activities.
Some differences in setup data are required if you use multilevel EMT. These differences are described within the appropriate setup tasks and are also summarized in the section covering multilevel EMT.
See Setup Considerations.
