Product Catalog Setup - Intrastat field descriptions

If you are using the Value Added Tax (VAT) integration with Sovos GTD, the system uses commodity codes to identify Intrastat records that support VAT calculations and reporting requirements. Set up the commodity codes to match the products you sell. Once defined, the appropriate code can be assigned to each catalog item in Product Catalog Setup. Fields are presented in alphabetical order.

Commodity Code

If this catalog product is sold to a customer residing in a country that is required to track and report sales for Intrastat purposes, it must be assigned a commodity code. Commodity codes are set up in SA Table Code Value Setup-Intrastat Commodity Code. In the Extended section, for each code you must select or clear the Use Supplementary Units option. If this option is not selected, you are required later to specify a Net Mass value. Whether Net Mass or Supplementary Unit is required is dependent on the commodity code used.

Net Mass

This field is required if the Commodity Code you specified is set up in SA Table Code Value Setup-Intrastat Commodity Code without the Use Supplementary Units option selected. In this case, only the Net Mass field is available. Specify the net mass in kilograms. Net mass is the weight of the goods including immediate packaging.

Supplementary Units

This field is required if the Commodity Code you specified is set up in SA Table Code Value Setup-Intrastat Commodity Code with the Use Supplementary Units option selected. In this case, only the Supplementary Units field is available. Specify the number of supplementary units that apply to this code. Supplementary Units is the number of units in the consignment. Specific unit-of-measure for each commodity code can be found in the Intrastat Classification Nomenclature (ICN).
