Overview

The video presents improvements to existing Intrastat functionality in 2025 release wave 1. It covers two main features: setting mandatory fields on Intrastat documents, and support for multiple VAT numbers per customer when reporting.

The demo configures mandatory fields (transaction type and transfer method are the examples), creates a sales order, enables the Document check fact box to see missing values, then posts the document and generates the Intrastat report. The presenter also mentions further technical improvements with no UI changes, possibly in version 26.12, with details to come in documentation.

Key points

  • Mandatory fields can be chosen for sales, service and purchase Intrastat documents, so users must enter the required information at or before posting.
  • The demo uses transaction type and transfer method as the mandatory field examples.
  • Alongside the existing sell-to and bill-to customer options, a new document option picks the VAT registration number directly from the posted document. In the demo, it is taken from the alternative ship-to address.
  • The change is driven by the new multiple VAT numbers functionality for customers.
  • An optional Document check fact box can be enabled on the sales order. It lists missing mandatory field values right away, before posting.
  • Further technical improvements to Intrastat, mostly not visible in the UI, are announced, probably for 26.12. Details are to be published in documentation.
