Export and print Intrastat reports

Note

2022 release wave 2 introduced a redesigned Intrastat experience with enhanced features. To learn more about the new Intrastat experience, go to Set Up Intrastat Reporting. This article describes the previous functionality, which you can only use if you haven't upgraded your Business Central.

The new Intrastat feature is enabled automatically in 2024 wave 2 release, and the old Intrastat feature is deprecated.

Note

The old Intrastat Journals functionality, and the standalone Intrastat - Checklist DE, Form, and Make Diskette actions described in earlier versions of this article, are no longer available. Use the Intrastat Report page and its Checklist Report and Create File actions instead, as described in this article.

Intrastat reporting is required throughout the European Union (EU) and must follow local requirements, such as specific formats and files. All companies in the EU must report their trade with other EU countries/regions. The movement of goods must be reported to the statistics authorities (Statistisches Bundesamt) every month.

For the German version, Intrastat reports are submitted in XML format, using one of two submission channels: IDEV or eSTATISTIK.CORE. Depending on the channel, you might also need to set up a company or material number on the Company Information page. Learn more in Set up reports for VAT and Intrastat.

Verify an Intrastat report before you export it

  1. Choose the Tell Me feature icon, enter Intrastat Report List, and then choose the related link.
  2. Open the Intrastat report that you want to verify.
  3. Choose the Checklist Report action.
  4. Review the errors and warnings shown in the Error Messages FactBox, and fix any lines that are missing required information.

Export an Intrastat report for Germany

  1. Choose the Tell Me feature icon, enter Intrastat Report List, and then choose the related link.

  2. Open the Intrastat report that you want to export.

  3. On the Export Parameters FastTab, in the Submission Channel field, choose IDEV or eSTATISTIK.CORE.

    This field defaults to the Default Submission Channel set up on the Intrastat Report Setup page.

    Important

    If you choose the IDEV channel, you must enter a material number in the Company No./Material No. (XML) field on the Company Information page. The eSTATISTIK.CORE channel doesn't require this field.

  4. If you want the exported XML file to be used for a test submission only, select the Test Submission field.

  5. Choose the Create File action to generate and export the XML file.
