How You Derive the Country of Supply for Intrastat Reporting from the Legal Reporting Unit

You can enable your company to derive the country of supply for Intrastat Reporting from the legal reporting unit association when using the Invoice triangulation method.

To do this, you must first associate the legal reporting unit and business unit from which the goods are physically shipped. Otherwise, Intrastat derives the country of supply from the legal entity address of the receivables invoice. To make this association, complete these steps:

1. From the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the Manage Legal Reporting Unit task:

   • Offering: Financials

   • Functional Area: Legal Structures

   • Task: Manage Legal Reporting Unit

2. In the Select Scope dialog box, select the Manage Legal Reporting Unit option.

3. In the Legal Entity field, select either Select and Add or Create New.

4. Click the Apply and Go to Task button to access the Manage Legal Entities page where you can select an existing legal entity or create a new one.

5. Select a legal entity, and click the Save and Close button. If you need to create a new legal entity, select Create from the Actions menu of the Manage Legal Entities page.

6. When you return to the Select Scope dialog box, select a value for the Legal Reporting Unit field. Select either Select and Add or Create New.

7. Click the Apply and Go to Task button to access the Manage Legal Reporting Units page where you can select an existing legal reporting unit or create a new one.
