The purpose of this document is to complete the Italian monthly declaration for the purchases and sales of Services and Goods performed with vendors and customers that belong to countries in the EU (European Union).
Every transaction with these vendors or customers (in the document referred as "Traders") must be declared in the Intrastat declaration for Services and Goods.
Concerning the Services for every invoice issued or received from these Traders, there is a Service Code to match and to declare to the Fiscal Authorities. The Service Codes are defined by Italian tax authorities.
SU VAT extracts the Sales and Purchases reports from SAP, for Services and Goods, and checks the accuracy between the tax codes used and the MM (PO data) information. All the deltas are justified in the support reconciliation file, data is adjusted accordingly and it is uploaded to Intraweb software. Then, SU VAT sends the prepared data to the external contact that will submit the information to the Fiscal Authorities (currently Studio Echiappe).
This procedure applies to Italian companies and companies VAT register in Italy that need to fill the Intrastat Services and Goods declaration.
The data in SAP is available as of D+6.
The declaration retrieved from Intraweb software should be addressed to external consultant until the 24th of the month, for them to submit it afterwards to Fiscal Authorities. The official deadline is the 25th of the month.
Important: Each year the current version of the Intraweb software should be updated and a total back-up needs to be performed upon the new installation.
See Finance Glossary:
Use the analysis file template: CCCC_Intrastat G & S Analyse_MM.YYYY
Run the SAP transaction S_ALR_87012357 and select the applicable variant to the company you are working on.
Update the fields:
Select the Output lists and apply the Layouts according to the company you are working:
Note: for companies with more data volume, you can extract only the Output tax: Line items, because for the intracomunitary tax codes, the output and input values will balance to zero. This way, the extraction is smaller with only the output.
Extract the data in Excel format.
Copy the information from this extraction to the CCCC_Intrastat G & S Analyse_MM.YYYY file, as follows:
Output tax: line items to “VAT Extraction” tab
Balance per company code to “VAT Resume” tab
Attention: To copy and paste this information remove blank spaces and format the values to numbers.
Run the VEFU transaction, selecting the variant for a given company for Export and Import. Extract for both flows.
To extract the data, click on Print (company 0270 is only an example of company code)

Apply the layout prepared for the company you are working, this will show the columns in the layout adjusted to your analysis file:

Paste the Export and Import extractions respectively in VEFU-EXP G&S tab
and VEFU-IMP G&S tab
.
Run the VE08 transaction, selecting the variant for a given company for Export and Import.
Extract both for an excel format.

Paste the Export and Import extractions respectively in VE08-EXP G&S tab and VE08-IMP G&S tab .
Filter by the tax codes below and copy the VAT ID numbers to check if they are all valid.
Use the website https://vatapp.net/batch-validation to bulk validate a large number of VAT IDs.

Tax codes V1 and V3 (example for PF1)
Tax code K9 (example for PF1)

Tax codes MB and KC (example for PF1)
Note: If vendor does not have “VATRegistrationNo.” add a number (e.g. 1, 2, etc) per vendor name. This will facilitate the formulas.

Tax Code KN and KS (example for PF1)
After updating the pivot table and copying its values to the respective sheets (Resume G. Dispatches; Resume S. Dispatches; Resume G. Arrivals; Resume S. Arrivals), if any difference between report 57 and VEFU is found it should be analyzed in order to understand its origin.
If the reason behind the difference is related to an incorrect tax code, the correction should be requested to the team in charge for the posting. The correction can be made after the submission.
In case any lines are missing to be reported and are correctly posted with an intracomunitary tax code, the data should be manually added in VEFU.
After choosing the variant associated with the company intended in VEFU, the option “New Entries” should be selected.

In order to add a line to the transaction, the following fields should be filled:



Checks to be made during the preparation of Intrastat:
Credit notes related to invoice declared in the same period: deduct the amount of the credit note from the invoice declared in the report (please remind that this is an official rule given by the Italian authorities).
Delete the line of the credit note in the report (or in the Template file) and archive it in a separate file.
Considering these as correction in the month we will exclude invoice and CN in a way that the sum of the two has to be equal to 0.
If it is a partial CN insert the part of the invoice that is cleared.
If it is a CN for more invoices insert all the invoices cleared.
a) Lines with Traders without VAT Code: normally it means that the Trader does not have a VAT code in its master data.
It could be an association, a physical person or Traders that does not belong to UE. We need to check it.
b) Lines with Traders with VAT code that does not belong to UE: it means that the Trader does not belong to UE. So the invoice should not be present in the Intrastat Services Declaration.
Check the invoice, analyze the reason of the missing VAT code, if necessary adapt VEFU. Add this information in to justify the delta between VAT book and Intrastat file and assess if tax code correction posting must be performed.
c) Lines with Traders with Italian VAT code: it means that the Trader has an Italian VAT code. So the invoice should not be present in the Intrastat Services Declaration (it should be a domestic trade).
Check the invoice, if necessary delete the line from VEFU. Add this information to justify the delta between VAT book and Intrastat file and assess if tax code correction posting must be performed.
d) Invoices that are for materials and not for services: it means that the invoice posted or received is for a material and not for a service. So the invoice should not be present in the Intrastat Services Declaration.
Check the invoice, if necessary adapt VEFU. Add this information to justify the delta between VAT book and Intrastat file and assess if tax code correction posting must be performed.
Check if all the fields are filled, namely "Net weight" and "Commodity code".
In the column "Net weight" you should filter all the:
For all these situations of missing data or wrong data you have to open the invoice image in SAP or/and check Purchase Order master data, if we are dealing with good movements registered in Purchase Orders (normally for "Purchases") or documents flow inside billings issued (for "Sales")
Since Check Intra errors and VE08 excel report have been analyzed, run VE08 and retrieve the txt file to upload in Intraweb software.
First launch transaction VE08 selecting the proper variant as explained above in reference point 3.1.2.
Then, before executing, you have to fill "Sequential Number of Declar.":
![]()
This number should be sequential to the last one used in the previous Intrastat Declaration.
All numbers used are registered in SU VAT teams Google Drive, folder " Intrastat - General Data"
Pick-up the last one used and run VE08 with the number after. And don't forget to register your new number in file so we can track the last number that has been used.
We should bear in mind that it is not possible to upload a file named "scambi.cee" whose number of reference is already used in Intraweb or whose period of reference (month, quarter) is not the same of the one indicated. Please wait if the file is in use by another user, the selection of sequential number should be a very easy and fast operation.
The progressivo number has to be sequential considering all the Solvay companies. For all the companies that have goods to be declared you HAVE TO start from the goods declaration so you decide the sequential number; while for the company with services only you DO NOT DECIDE the sequential number (see reference section 3.4.2.5.) because the "Elenco" is automatically created by the system.
After executing, confirm if you have items that have not been integrated (click on "processes not relevant for declaration"). If yes analyze if they will have impact in VAT reconciliation and assess if should be manually inserted in Intraweb. Click on the left side "create diskette":
If you have not yet created, please create in your laptop a new folder named "Scambi Arrivals” and a folder for “Scambi Dispatches” (before you extract VE08 this folder must be empty).
In the next screen you find, please insert only the fields below highlighted in green:

Now click process and you'll find this screen:

Don't modify the file name, only click "Save". You'll get this final screen; txt file has been archived in your drive inside "SCAMBICEE" folder.


This screen will appear:
Insert only in field "Id utente" the word admin. Then click "OK".
After logging on, you have to guarantee that basic data has been customized and you have available all the information declared since year 2010, all months, for Purchases and Sales, for all Italian companies in the scope of this procedure (for example, print screen below confirm that all data is available for company 5711):
|
Check if you have also the data for all the other companies in the scope, by selecting "anagrafica"/"cambio obbligato"
When you log on, if no data is available, and before uploading new data for your Intrastat Declaration, please restore last declarations information – follow instructions in point 3.4.2.3. from this procedure.
Below Intraweb when you have no data:
After restoring data, and in case you are uploading Intrastat for Services, you might have also to customize excel file templates - follow instructions in reference point 3.4.2.2. from this procedure.
Go to reference point 3.4.2.1. only if you have to create new master data, as new company codes, for instance.
(Delegato = third party responsible for the official upload)
By using this function we can upload anagrafic datas of a delegated entity (obviously this is possible only if exists a specific and authorized third party, it is the case of Solvay Italy with the Study Chiappe represented by Mr. Fedi)
In order to activate this function we should select Anagrafica/Delegato/Nuovo Delegatofrom the Intraweb homepage:
Afterwards it will appear a window with data that should be uploaded.
These are the anagrafic data coming from CAD EUROPA (we just need to change only in case of changes in the delegato)
(Obbligato: subject that is obligated to do the declaration)
By using this function we can upload data of the "obligated"subject. Only after the completion of this phase we will be able to fill the Intrastat in Intraweb.
In order to activate this function we should select Anagrafica/Nuovo Obbligato from the Intraweb homepage:
Afterwards it will appear a window with data that should be uploaded. We will fill it with all the companies data.
Frequency: the declarations for the Italian companies are completed monthly. When we choose the frequency monthly, in the Intraweb screen the options will appear: "Annual value of purchases…." and "Annual value of sales..." WE HAVE TO FLAG BOTH OF THEM (without these flags we will fill a short form of the declarations, that is not indicated for the Italian companies of Solvay Group, further details at the following address: >HELP>AIUTO>ANAGRAFICA>OBBLIGATO)
In the same screen, besides OBBLIGATO data, we have to insert DELEGATO data as indicated in the following example:
Hereunder there are the anagrafic datas of the companies involved in Intrastat (we have to remind to upload and update data in Intraweb in case of future changing):
When you log on, if no data is available, and before uploading new data for your Intrastat Declaration, please restore last declarations information.
You have to RESTORE the backup (with the last version) - PAY ATTENTION TO THE PATH.

If appears the second screen with the sentence "Restore terminato" you can move on.
It means that we have now available all the data submitted in Intraweb from past months, concerning the Intrastat of Goods and Services.
Log on in and check if basic data has been customized and you have available all the information declared since year 2010, all months, for Purchases and Sales, for all italian companies in the scope of this procedure. If not, restore all data, as explained in reference step 3.4.2.3.
You are ready to import data from Goods & Services Intrastat as soon you retrieve in SAP the SCAMBI.CEE file from SAP (see reference point 3.4.2.4.)
We have to click on Anagrafica->Cambia obbligato
It is very important to remind to do this action every time we would like to change otherwise we will work always in the same company. |
By pushing the button "APRI" we will open the desired company, we have always to check the company name on the top of the Intraweb window.
Since the company you are working is already opened in Intraweb, to upload the data, select "importa->scambi.cee->file singolo":
Then open the file "scambi.cee" you saved:
In case you find no upload errors you'll get the following result:
If you have upload errors, go to reference point 3.4.2.6. from this procedure.
Choose the proper option, according to the information you've uploaded and then select the month you are reporting:
Once selected interested month, click on "Visualizza dettagli" on the right:
On this screen:
We will see 8 tabs after explained:
There are 4 sections in Intraweb:
To check Goods Intrastat data, we select only "section I" and "section II".
For each Section , you have two options:
In "vista completa" you will see the complete list of invoices for goods declared in that month.
If you select "vista singola" you can add new entries (invoices) for goods.
Above you find an example from an invoice declared in Section I (Goods).
To insert manually an invoice in section I you need to fill:
To declare Credit Notes for Goods (Section II), you can only declare Credit Notes related to invoices from previous months; so if you have a credit note related to an invoice from the current month, you should deduct this amount in the respective invoice, that would be present in Section I.
Hereunder an example of a credit note that has been declared in Section II:
To declare Credit Notes for Goods (Section II), you declare the exact amount of the credit note with negative sign, put the reference month of the original invoice, "Nat. Transazione" is always "1", insert the commodity code and the statistical value.
Before uploading Services data in Intraweb, confirm if it has been created the template format in Intraweb (see reference point 3.4.2.2.) Please keep in mind that this step is only necessary for company 8090 for the Arrivals’ Session. In the other companies, the file extracted from transaction VE08 will automatically filled Session 3
Open 8090_Intrastat Services Analysis MM.YYYY.xlsx and fill the data according to the following layout:
Copy the data prepared and paste it to the excel file without any formulas. Pay attention to not include the negative amounts (credit notes).The credit notes in Intraweb should be added in Session 4 in case its value is higher than the invoices issued by (in this case) that vendor in the month analyzed
The file format to perform the upload is an excel file that has to be saved as "Excel 97-2003 Workbook", otherwise you'll get an error in Intraweb:
Select "Dettagli"/"Leggi da File":

Pick up the file you saved before as "Excel 97-2003 Workbook" (click "Apri"):

You'll have now Purchases or Sales uploaded, but only for "sezioni 3" - you integrated only the invoices.
The credit notes you have in 8090_Intrastat Services Analysis MM.YYYY must to be manually inserted in "sezioni 4". Go to reference point 3.4.2.5.3. to know how to insert Credit Notes for Services.
All Credit Notes have to be manually included in Intraweb.
Credit Notes in Intraweb for Services are integrated in and can be inserted/modified through
The amount to put in Section IV is the net amount between the original invoice declared in the past and the amount of the current credit note.
We can have total credit notes (the amount of the credit note is equal to the invoice declared in the past) or partial credit notes (the amount of the credit note is less than the invoice declared in the past).
In case of total credit note, the net amount between invoice declared and credit note is zero, so the data you have to fill in section IV is only:
Below an example of a total credit note declared in section IV:
In case of partial credit note, you have to declare the net amount between invoice declared and credit note. It is better to look in Intraweb the exact data declared in the past concerning the referred invoice so you can fill all the required fields in section IV to declare the present credit note. The data you have to fill in section IV is:
Below an example of a partial credit note declared in section IV:
For the data retrieved above to fill the credit note in section IV, we have to search in Intraweb, in section III, the complete information declared:
After inserting credit notes in section IV and all invoices in section III, check if all data is ok and consistent with VAT book.
When Intrastat data is uploaded into Intraweb you can find some errors:
In case of errors not yet solved, the reporting month in Intraweb will have this status:
To correct them click in , , "sez I vista completa" (for goods) or "sez III vista completa" (for services).
In Intraweb, the lines in error are highligted in red:
Double click in each line, to solve each error.
Below some common errors that can be retrieved after Intrastat data upload:
Example: wrong commodity code - 39019009. The commodity code to be used instead would be 39019090:
Confirm if you are dealing with a San Marino transaction, by analyzing invoice image (VAT number starts with SM).
If yes, you have only to fill San Marino VAT number and the total invoice amount:
In the end, confirm if all upload errors have been corrected. You should have no .
You should find the reporting month with this status:
There are some functionalities in Intraweb that you can take advantage when you are searching for data or when to modify or erase particular lines or even cancel the whole data.
Hereunder we will explain how to:
To search data, enter in or , depending if you are checking Goods or Services, respectively.
You'll find in the bottom several useful options:
You can filter the data, by VAT number, for instance.
Write the VAT number you need to filter in and then click on .
To start a new search, before don't forget to click on .
You can also sort the data by column, by clicking in the column you want to sort.
Below a print screen of data sorted by amount (click on ):
In case you need to duplicate one particular line, select the line you want to copy:
Click on , then .
The new line will appear in the last position of "vista completa". It will be also the last "progressivo number" in "vista singola".
When using this option, you can use the information copied and then modify it according to your needs.
To modify this line, double click in the line in "vista completa", or go to the last "progressivo number" in "vista singola":
Particular lines, if needed, can be also be removed from Intraweb.
To erase it, first select the line in "vista completa:
Then click on . The following message will appear:
Click "Si"
However, and for exceptional reasons, during the completion of the Intrastat you may need to delete some part or the entire declaration.
If you have to delete ONLY one section you have to enter in the section, select all the lines and erase them. Deleting only one section you will not loose the "Elenco", the folder.
If you have to delete one "Elenco" you have to click with the right button on it (Ex M-07-102877-d) and then click on "Elimina". With this you will delete all the four sections and the folder.
If you are declaring a company with goods and services you have to upload the Intrastat goods again and then the services. Uploading the goods before, through VE08 outcome, we do not have to change the number of the declaration.
If we are deleting an "Elenco" of a company with services only we have to track the number of the "Elenco" we are deleting because the system will consider this as used and will give you a new one when you will try to create a new "Elenco".
In this case we will use the number given by the system and we will use the number not used in the next company with the goods declaration, and consequently VE08 outcome.
Since all Intrastat data has been uploaded in Intraweb, has been updated and corrected according to the analysis previously done, we have to validate if the amounts entered in Intraweb are consistent with VAT book.
For Intrastat Services Purchases compare:
For Intrastat Services Sales compare:
For Intrastat Goods Purchases compare:
For Intrastat Goods Sales compare:
All deltas should be all justified and detailed in Reconciliation VAT File.
Normally are wrong documents posted by PtP , that we should ask for the correction in the month after. For the corrections performed in the month after we will find in the following month the same delta with an opposite sign. Only after all corrections done, deltas are solved in the reconciliation file.
Every month we should check and track if corrections previously requested have been performed, to erase and solve as much as possible all differences. The final purpose is to have a clean overview of all pending actions that should not exist or be few by the year end.
Since consistency between Intraweb data and VAT book has been retrieved and justified in Reconciliation VAT File, you can prepare and send, by email, Intrastat final data to our external consultant.
To send the final data, you need to:
1. BLOCK DATA
Select the reporting month , inside to block Purchases or inside to block Sales.
Then go to Menu "Elenco"/ "Approva/Sblocca Approva":
In the next screen click "Si":
You'll get the information:
In this stage, the "elenco" you blocked will have this status .
Repeat the same, but selecting the "elenco" for Sales.
In the end, Intrastat data from the month we are declaring will be blocked, with no modifications allowed. Also the lines will be grouped, based on common VAT number and commodity code:
2. DECLARATION COVER+ALL SECTIONS AGGREGATED DATA
After completing point a) select the Purchases "elenco" and go to Menu "File"/"Stampa":
Flag all options:
You can get some information messages. Click "Ok".
Intraweb will generate a PDF file with all compiled information for Purchases (Goods and Services).
Then, repeat the procedure for Sales to save the PDF compiled file for Sales.
Save with company code, identify if you are saving Dispatches or Arrivals and insert the declaration month and year.
3. COMPILED SCAMBI.CEE FILE
First make sure that the folder SCAMBICEE you have in H: drive is empty:
Go to Menu "Web"/"Invio per Dogane"/"Prepara Invio":
After click "Ok" in the next screen:
In the following window:
Click in " » " to generate a single SCAMBI.CEE file with Sales+Purchases data (Goods+Services):
Click "Salva":
Write "01" in "progressivo invio" if it is the first declaration you are submitting in the day (if no, put the sequential number):
Scambi.cee file is now saved in H: drive/ folder "SCAMBICEE".
You can control if the scambi.cee file generated has no errors.
To verify the scambi.cee file go to Menu Web/ "verifica scambi.cee:
Select the folder where the file has been saved:
Click "Apri"
Confirm if no errors have been detected:
Click "Esci".
Make sure that you keep the format SCAMBI.cee.
Since you saved already all the documents detailed in previous points a), b) and c), you can send them to our external consultant . Follow the below example (subject and text considered in the email).
Check the last email sent in the month before for the italian company you are sending, to identify all the email receivers for each company.
After sending this email to external consultant, expect his reply. He sends back the Covers for each company with the official Protocol Number.
Archive the Official Cover in PDF format that he sends back, inside company code folder and take note of Protocol Number.
Save Protocol Numbers (one for Sales and another for Purchases) for each company in file "Intrastat – Protocol Number_YYYY" stored in team's Google Drive:
Go to each Intrastat email sent during that month and download the scambi.cee file (final output) to you laptop, in different folders per company code.
In the Intra@web, select a given company code and upload the correspondent scambi.cee file, selecting Elenco > Importa > Scambi-cee > File singolo

Click Esci

If one of the scambi have an error, click on it followed by “Modifica Dettagli” and it will disappear.

Move the information to the right side

For first company AND the first time of the day, add “01” in progressivo Invio (this happens per day):


Check if blue symbol is ok
![]()
It can happen that you want to add one or more lines in a declaration already submitted and sent to our external consultant.
We can distinguish between two main types of correction.
If you are still in time, before the 25th day of the month, you can create another "Elenco", pay attention at the number given by the system and write it down, and then declare it filling the only line missing. The earlier you will find these errors and communicate them to Fedi, the better it is.
Potentially in Italy you can create and submit as many "Elenco" as the invoices are on time, the only problem is to track all the information sent to the government. Ideally we submit only one declaration per month for each company.
If you want to declare one item after the deadline (25th day of the month), you have to consider one important element: the presence of transactions with this entity (supplier or customer) in the month of the missing invoice or CN.
If there are goods' movements declared with this supplier or customer in the month of the missing document, we just need to add a correction in Section 2 of the current month as we are declaring a CN or an invoice. This because the only constraint we have to insert lines in section two, is the presence of the VAT number of the supplier or customer in the month of the missing line.
If there are no goods' movements in the month of the missing line we have to create a new "Elenco" and declaration with reference to the past.
In any of these two situations (after the deadline) and before deciding, please contact and share your decision with teammates and Italy Tax Advisor. |
Procedure in WP1 follows the same Intrastat Italian rules as in PF1.
The only change in WP1 is SAP transaction for Services Arrivals extraction is not available and we retrieve data in different way, which needs to be uploaded into IntraWeb.
For Services we don't have a specific transaction yet in WP1 to retrieve the information as PF1.
We need to go to the VAT transaction to have the Intrastat invoices posted with the Intra tax code.
Change the Posting date period for the month, change the Tax code correspondent and Execute:
According to the tax code, paste the data in the Service Dispatch or Service Arrivals tabs.
Note: Attention to columns with formulas that will retrieve information in sheet "Service Codes Database"
If you find a new service supplier you need to update the sheet with it.
Analyze the Credit notes and see if they should be included or not in Intrastat declaration depending on the situation.
After analyzing the data to be reported to Intrastat and the data to be removed or corrected. Make sure all Credit Notes were adjusted, with the same rules as PF1.
Copy the data to be reported from the Service Arrivals tab and paste it to Arrivals Upload tab in values formats, with attention to column V to AB.

Copy the information to the 8090_Services IMP MM.YYYY Upload File. Make sure the format is not changed, otherwise it will not be uploaded into IntraWeb.
Note: For EU countries with other currencies different from Euro, include value and Currency in columns D and E. Use SAP ZRATE transaction to have the value converted.

Examples of currencies CZK and HUF:

Step 3.4.2.4. for Goods - procedure for Goods preparation and upload is the same.
Service Dispatches data is uploaded in Intraweb in the same way as Goods mentioned in the previous point.
For Services Arrivals, check point 3.4.2.5. I upload the data for services in Intraweb - WP1, to check how to upload the 8090_Services IMP MM.YYYY Upload File.
The next steps in Intraweb are the same as performed in PF1.
End of document.
