32 Additional Information File Generation

This chapter contains these topics:

32.1 Generate the Additional Information File

At the end of each period, the user will need to run the File Data Generation program for the Declaring Company.

This program selects all intra-community service transactions posted for the period and searches each transaction for the required data for Intrastat Declaration, called Additional Information.

It is a Batch program that takes transactions from the Sales/Use/V.A.T. Tax File (F0018) and generates the "Intrastat Declaration for Service - Additional Information" file (F74Y0018).

When the program is executed and there is not an active declaration for the Declaring Company and Period defined in the Processing Options, it creates a new Internal Declaration Number to identify the current Declaration in progress and it also creates the Declaration entry in the Intrastat for Declaration - Header file (F74Y0020).

Additional Information is composed of:

  • Service Explanation Code

  • Supply Method

  • Collection Method

  • Payment Country

From Italian Localizations (G74Y), choose EU VAT Package INTRASTAT

From EU VAT Package INTRASTAT (G74Y001), choose Intrastat Declaration Steps

From Intrastat Declaration Steps (G74Y0011), choose File Data Generation

When the Additional Information file is generated successfully, the declaration status is moved to '1'(Pending - Ready to Validate Data).

Those transactions that correspond to a document voided or reversed in the period will be ignored.

Note:

Only declarations with status '0','1','2' or '3' will be processed.

32.2 Additional Information Recovery

32.2.1 Service Explanation Code:

This value will be retrieved from the Tax Area Legal Report Set Up for Legal Identification (REPI) = 'IT_INTRA_S' and Tax Area (TXA1) = transaction Tax Area. If it isn't defined, the value is retrieved from A/B Additional Information - Italy defined for the supplier or customer.

32.2.2 Supply Method:

This value will be retrieved from the Tax Area Legal Report Set Up for Legal Identification (REPI)='IT_INTRA_S' and Tax Area (TXA1) = transaction Tax Area. If it isn't defined, the value is retrieved from A/B Additional Information Italy defined for the supplier or customer.

32.2.3 Collection Method:

This value will be retrieved from the Payment instrument associated with the transaction. The Special Handling Code from UDC 00/PY or 00/RY, according to the transaction module, will define the Collection Method. The allowed values are 'A', 'B' or 'X'. If the field is blank, the default value is 'X'.

32.2.4 Payment Country:

It will retrieve the Country Code of the Supplier for Accounts Payable documents, or the Country Code of the Address Number of Company. The ISO Code will be used. The ISO Code of the EU Member Country is in UDC 70/TI Description 2.

It can also be accessed with the Country Code. If this value is not defined in the UDC, the Country Code will be used by default.

This program allows users to review and update the Intrastat Additional Information for Services previously generated through the Additional Information Generation program for the current declaration.

Additional Information is composed of:

  • Service Explanation Code

  • Supply Method

  • Collection Method

  • Payment Country

It allows users to review the information for each document line, using various selection criteria, update the information for a document line (record-by-record) or for a group (global), and delete a document from the declaration file.

This application will only allow modification of those documents not included in a declaration at status: '4 - Closed'. Also, the program will allow users to delete specific records from the file. In this case, when the user deletes one line of the document, the program displays a message to inform the user that the whole document will be deleted.

There is a global update function for these additional fields. The system allows the users to select multiple records (document lines) and then, select this function in order to populate the additional field's values that will be updated on the previously selected records.

Once the changes are finished, the program will change the status of the declaration to:

'1: Pending - Ready to Valid. Data'

The main purpose of this program is to identify and print on an exceptions report, any Intrastat Declaration for Services Additional Information record(s) lacking any Additional Information item(s).

The Additional Information data items are the following:

  • Service Explanation Code

  • Supply Method

  • Collection Method

  • Payment Country

If any of these data items are blank, an exceptions report line is printed, identifying the Declaration Additional Information record lacking the required information.

This program generates the Intrastat Declaration for Services files for the declaration in progress. These files are:

  • (F74Y0020) Intrastat Declaration for Services - Header.

  • (F74Y0021) Intrastat Declaration for Services - Detail.

  • (F74Y0022) Intrastat Declaration for Services - Amendments

During this process, the system will execute the following steps:

  1. The program processes the F74Y0018 transactions in this order:

    Invoices & Vouchers: It stores the document information required in the F74Y0021 file for Section 3 and Reporting System.

    Credit & Debit Notes: It stores the document information required of adjusted documents. They will be generated in the Section 3 or 4:

    • If the adjusted document belongs to a previous declaration period then it will be stored in Section 4.

    • If the adjusted document belongs to a current declaration period then it will be stored in Section 3.

    In both cases, the adjusted documents will be stored with the amount amended.

  2. The program processes the F74Y0023 transactions:

Invoices & Vouchers modified: It stores the document information required in the F74Y0021 file for Section 4 and Reporting System with the Additional Information adjusted.

Note:

The F74Y0022 file will be filled for each document stored in Section 4. It stores the required information of the previous closed declaration where the document was included.

The amounts are accumulated by Order Company, Order Type, Order Document, Service Explanation Code, Supply Method, Collection Method and Payment Country.

If there are no errors, the status of the declaration will be moved to '3 - Done - Ready to Close Declaration.
