Use

In this IMG activity, you define the exceptions for modeling the partner countries during the transfer of data from the worklist to an Intrastat declaration. Under the default settings, the system selects the internal code for the partner country, which is defined in the worklist based on document data. The system then determines the ISO code for this partner country and copies it to the Intrastat code as the partner country in the Intrastat declaration. If exceptions to this standard logic are required to process the Intrastat declarations, you have to define these exceptions in this IMG activity.

Exceptions to the standard logic are required, for instance, in the following cases:

  • In intra-European-Union goods traffic, Ireland considers Northern Ireland to be a separate country, not as part of the UK. Because the system would consider Northern Ireland to be part of the UK by default, you have to exclude the regions of Northern Ireland from the UK in this IMG activity and model them as a separate country.
  • A similar situation applies to Monaco. Monaco is a sovereign nation, however, for the purposes of the Intrastat declaration, it belongs to France. The system would consider Monaco to be independent under the default settings. In this IMG activity, however, you have to assign Monaco to France, so the system derives the Intrastat code for France when Monaco is the country of origin.

Requirements

Standard settings

The default settings already contain the relevant exceptions for modeling the country of origin.

Activities

You can define these exceptions for each country of declaration for partner countries or regions of the partner countries.

Example

The region of Northern Ireland is defined as part of the UK in the SAP System, but you have to specify country code XI (Northern Ireland) in Intrastat declarations as the Intrastat code for partner country Ireland for goods shipments from this region. Therefore, you can specify the following values for each required country of declaration:

  • Country of declaration (for example): IE (Ireland)
  • Partner country (internal SAP): GB (United Kingdom)
  • Region: AM (Armagh)
  • Partner country (Intrastat): XI (Northern Ireland)

To assign Monaco the Intrastat code for partner country France for the Intrastat declaration, as required by the authorities, you have to specify the following values for each required country of declaration:

  • Country of declaration (for example): DE (Germany)
  • Partner country (internal SAP): MC (Monaco)
  • Region: -
  • Partner country (Intrastat): FR (France)

You do not have to enter any regions to model the exceptions because Monaco is not divided into regions.
