Introduction

The country of assembly refers to the country where goods are assembled. The country of assembly can be different than the country of origin, which is required for INTRASTAT declaration.

The items supplied from the same supplier can be assembled in different countries. In this enhancement, you can now define the country of assembly for items per supplier, and for a foreign supplier. This allows you to define the country of assembly precisely for each item per supplier.
