Based on the outcome of this report we have to build the template IT 5835 DE IVA MODULO_MMYYYY and perform quality check in the end to assess the accuracy of the information that will be delivered. 
The Template is divided in four operation types:

Note that when filling the declaration the supplier to be use is Panalpina or BDPINTERNATIONAL GMBH (field Supplier Name and Invoice Reference), because this is the one who pays the tax on behalf of Solvay Specialty Polymers Italy. However, the Document Number and the amounts to be reported are the ones from Custom Bremen.

We should sum the figures by column Amount: 

    • Base amount: - 20.268,84 €
    • Output tax: As it is not automatically calculated the amount has to be included as 19% of base amount. -3.851,08€

By checking SAP report 57 and the outcome from VE01, you will see that VE01 does not contemplate the plants abroad from BE, so you need to see the invoices in the report 57 extraction and add these invoices to the VE01 extraction sheet:

5835 is the only company which the Intrastat need to be done manually in IDEV website, usually with arrivals only to be recorded (since the threshold for dispatches is always below the mandatory and no submission is needed for dispatches):
