A VAT-registered entity in the European Union (EU) can generate a periodic list that includes the details of all of the sales transactions with other VAT-registered entities in the EU. This list is referred to as the European Sales List (ESL). For VAT-registered entities in France, you can generate the Déclaration Européenne de Services, or European Declaration of Services (DES), which is similar to the EU sales list. However, the DES report contains only the details about the service item transactions.

Note

You must set up sales tax codes and sales tax groups correctly because they contain information that is included in the DES report.

You can print the DES report or save it as an XML file.

Set up the export file format and the report layout

You must set up the export file format and the report layout before you can generate the DES report.

  1. Click Organization administration > Setup > Foreign trade > Foreign trade parameters.

  2. Click EU sales list, and then in the EU sales list area, select the Report cash discount check box to report cash discounts by using the EU sales list.

  3. Select the Transfer purchases check box to transfer the purchase transactions to the EU sales list.

  4. In the Report layout field, select Display amounts by rows to display the amounts for each customer or vendor by row in the EU sales list report.

  5. In the XSLT ID field, select the XML style sheet identification code that is used to generate the EU sales list. The XSLT ID parameter contains metadata for a country/region-specific file format.
