Definition

A standardized 5-character key that uniquely identifies an export/import procedure.

Use

This key is required for monthly declarations to Intrastat that involve business transactions within the European Union (EU). This key is used for statistical purposes only - Intrastat uses the monthly declarations to draw up foreign trade statistics.

Procedure

If you deploy export processing in Sales and Distribution, you can, for example, set up your system so that the system automatically proposes a key for an export/import procedure according to the following criteria:

  • Country from which the goods are exported, or country into which the goods are imported
  • Sales area
  • Export/import material group
  • Item category of individual goods

You can overwrite the default value for the key in the delivery and in the billing document.

Example

You might use the 'export/import procedure' key to make a distinction between the following export/import processes:

  • Goods that are delivered temporarily for subcontracting
  • Goods that are delivered permanently after subcontracting
