Background
In previous release of Exact Globe, the Country of Origin per Item was entered during the Purchase Transactions (e.g. Purchase Order) and was supported for all EU countries. The value was always the Country linked to the Creditor of the Purchase Transaction, since system will always assumes that the items come from the Country of the Supplier. However, this is not always correct.
What has been changed
Instead of getting the default values for the Country of Origin per Item from the Country linked to the Supplier, the value is now obtained from the Country linked to the Item. Users are allowed to change the Country of Origin per Item in the Purchase Transactions. The entered value will be used in the INTRASTAT Return Report for Purchase / Import. This change will only reflect in Purchase Transactions and will not affect the retrieval of data in the INTRASTAT Return Report.
This change will affect the following legislation :
Austria
International
Romania
Belgium
Ireland
United Kingdom
CzechRepublic
Italy
Slovakia
France
Luxembourg
Spain
Germany
Netherlands
Sweden
Hungary
Poland
