MOs and Intrastat
The Intrastat module captures information needed to generate customs reports for shipments among members of the European Union. If you are using Intrastat, data is generated for the shipment of material orders similarly to the way data is generated for sales orders. The Import/Export field on the MO header controls whether an additional frame displays for Intrastat defaults.
See
QAD Intrastat User Guide for details on Intrastat.
Note: If you use Intrastat, you should manage inventory movement with MOs. In CAR, Intrastat data is generated only for items ordered on MOs. Other items are not tracked.
However, because the requirements of a service environment differ from those for standard orders, some aspects of Intrastat processing for MOs are different than for sales orders. In addition, different types of MOs are processed somewhat differently.
For standard sales orders, Intrastat data is moved to a history table when the invoice for the order is posted. Unlike sales orders, invoices are not generated for MOs. The items on the MO are invoiced directly or indirectly when they are used for a service call and the call is invoiced. For this reason, Intrastat history is not created for MOs at invoice post, but when they are shipped or consumed, depending on the type of MO.
• MOs with a Call. When an MO is associated with a call, Intrastat data is created in MO Maintenance, as appropriate. The MO is then loaded in Call Activity Recording as item usage. When all of the items on an MO line are either issued or returned, the line is deleted and the Intrastat data is moved to the history table.
• MOs without a Call. Two kinds of MOs are not associated with calls: expensed MOs and MOs for inventory replenishment. For these types of MOs, Intrastat history is created when the MO line ships completely. This may occur in MO Maintenance, if Ship Immediate is Yes, or later in Material Order Shipments.
Two types of Intrastat history records can be created for MOs: one when items are issued and one when items are returned.
