Understanding Setup for the Italy Intrastat Services Declarations Outside of the Intrastat Software

You must complete the following setup, which occurs outside of the intrastat software, before proceeding with the other tasks for intrastat services:

• For transaction as of January 1, 2010, you must select the Intracommunity VAT checkbox in the Tax Areas - Tag File Maintenance (P744008) program. You access that program from the Tax Rate/Area Revisions program (P4008).

• Associate all credit and debit notes with their original invoices and vouchers for those documents that have a G/L date after January 1, 2010. You must associate the credit and debit notes with the original transactions to report your services transactions and amendments to the transactions according to the reporting requirements. You populate the original document when creating or updating the DN/CN through the Regional Info functionality in the Invoice Entry program (P03B11) or the Voucher Entry program (P0411).

  See Understanding Debit and Credit Notes for Italian Tax Reporting.

• Set up the Special Handling Code field in the Payment Instrument UDC table (00/PY) with the value A for direct debits, B for credit transfers, or X for others. The system by default supplies the value that you set up in the Special Handling Code field in the Method of Collection UDC table (74Y/MC) and reports how the service is paid.
