Definition

Specifies a standard, 5-digit code that uniquely identifies an export/import procedure.

Use

For business transactions within the European Community (EC), the export/import procedure code is part of the information that you submit in monthly reports to Intrastat and is of statistical interest only. Intrastat uses this information to produce foreign trade statistics.

Use

During export sales processing, for example, the system may automatically propose an export/import procedure code, based on the following criteria:

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

You can overwrite the proposed value manually in the delivery and in the billing document.

Example

The export/import procedure code can distinguish, for example, between the following export/import transactions:

  • Goods that are shipped temporarily for further manufacture by a subcontractor
  • Goods that are shipped to their final destination after processing by a subcontractor
