Not all your transactions are subject to customs reporting. This will probably only be applicable to excise goods that are moved under duty suspension.

For transactions that are subject to EMCS reporting, Aptean Beverage identifies the transactions that are subject to report by this definition:

Sales and purchase:

When an excise item is moved from duty suspended to duty suspended, the transaction line is subject to EMCS reporting.

Transfers:

When the Transfer Route is an EMCS Mandatory route, the transaction line is subject to EMCS reporting.

In the setup, this means that General Tax Classifications should be indicated as EMCS Mandatory:

  1. Select the Search icon , enter General Tax Classifications, and then choose the related link.

  2. On the General Tax Classifications page, select EMCS Mandatory for codes where EMCS can be applicable:

    • Customer Type: when the code represents duty suspended customers or ship-to addresses.

    • Vendor Type: when the code represents vendors or order addresses that deliver duty suspended

    • Item Type: when the code represents excise goods.

    • Location Type: when the code represents bonded locations or bins.

In Sales transactions:

-> When the Item, Customer and Location tax classifications all have EMCS Mandatory, the sales line will be included in messages to EMCS. If this is not the case, the line will not be included in messages to or from EMCS.

In Purchase Transactions:

-> When the Item, Vendor and Location tax classifications all have EMCS Mandatory, the sales line is EMCS Mandatory. If this is not, the line will not be included in messages from or to EMCS._

In Transfer Shipments and Transfer Receipts:

-> When the Transfer Route has EMCS Mandatory, the transfer line is EMCS Mandatory. If this is not the case, the line will not be included in messages from or to EMCS.
