1. Select a Document Type

First, select the type of document you wish to use to create a document for a receipt from the EU. In the Goods menu (Goods | Receiving | Document), select or click on the desired document.

You can also choose a document by clicking on a shortcut - the icon can be found in the toolbar.

2. Creating a Document for a Receipt from the EU

Creating documents for receipts from the EU is essentially the same process as Creating Receiving Documents

Example: On 5.2.2007, you received an invoice for goods received from Philips GmbH in Germany. You wish to enter this invoice in the program. In this case, you're receiving goods and material into stock. By doing so, you will prepare a document that can be entered into the general ledger and filed in tax records.

Receipts from the EU differ from domestic receipts because of the purchase method - in this case Import - EU. Many times, purchases of this kind are accompanied by additional shipping costs and other direct costs, which must also be taken into account in purchase calculations.

3. Entering Purchase Calculations

You have also received an invoice from a forwarding agent, who has charged transport costs in the amount of 72.33 EUR. This amount must be added to the items you've received. Click on the Receiving tab in the  Purchase Calc. tab and enter the amounts.

4. Warehouse Cards

Let's also take look at the warehouse card for the item COKE. Pay attention to the Price field - it does not read 256.35, as in the line in the document, but 280.46, due to the additional costs.
