How to set Supplementary Units in the Intrastat statement?

On the Intrastat statement, the imported/exported items quantities for other Member States are declared based on the item Net Mass. However, there is a set of items for which it is necessary to specify the quantities transacted in another unit, designated by Supplementary Unit, whose purpose is to collect information on a specific characteristic (for example: length, volume, number, etc.).

At the application level, the definition for the Supplementary Unit is performed at the goods level (Common Customs Tariff), considering that it will be associated to one or more items.

To define the Supplementary Unit, follow these steps:

1. Access [Marketing & Sales / Purchases] | Inventory | Resources | Tables | Intrastat | Goods;
2. Specify the Goods code;
3. Activate the option Supplementary Units Management;
4. Specify the Supplementary Unit and the corresponding Conversion Factor regarding the base unit for the item it is associated to;
5. Click Save.

When performing the Intrastat statement, the application allows to specify the method to calculate the value to be declared on the Supplementary Units:

• Document Row Quantity x Supplementary Unit Conversion Factor;
• Document Row Quantity x Supplementary Unit Conversion Factor x Net Weight.
