EORI Field for customers and suppliers

SUGGESTED

Hi, 

I see there has been an added field in Company Preferences for us to be able to add our EORI number, but I can't see a field added for the customer or supplier EORI numbers.

There were discussions on here from a year ago, with talks that they will be added, but nothing yet.  We are on the latest version.

Any idea when this will happen, as it is a requirement with Brexit, which we are all supposed to be getting ready for?!

Thanks

    Hi Ian

    Thanks for the update,

    Firstly in the Addresses and Contacts section you can currently choose a different account to deliver the good too, including recording the VAT records. (so why not the EORI?)

    We ship to management companies / custom brokers in Europe and around the world - but invoice could be The Cayman Islands (as an example) 

    We just cannot 'Just create a new account', as we are invoicing a head office in a country that is not the delivery destination country.

    This is a export requirement - please add this feature.

    Hi Ian

    Do you have an update....?

    We often invoice one country or territory and deliver to another. Since BREXIT shipping anywhere in the world from the UK has changed, and we need to record the EROI number and VAT number of the delivery destination country. 

    An example is we ship directly to a yacht (which moves around the world) delivering to there local custom broker, or direct delivery to Yachts under 'Ships Spares In Transit.  The invoice could be there owner in The Cayman Islands (as an example) 

    We just cannot 'Just create a new account', as we are invoicing a head office in a country that is not the delivery destination country.

    Hi Paul,

    I've gone back and asked the question but we don't have plans to add the EORI number to the delivery address for v27.2.

    Are you using the Fax Number on the delivery address? This could be used as a workaround and brought through to your layouts.

    Hi Iain

    Work-arounds are just that. Disappointed

    For exporters to follow the rules 100% (and they need to otherwise overseas customers will be charged incorrectly) we need to professionally record the REQUIRED information. (HMRC Requirement)

    For any company that is 'DROP SHIPPING' its products outside of the UK, they now MUST record the EORI and VAT information of the delivery address - please provide a professional way within your software to record this.

    Hi Paul,

    For now, this is the workaround Sage will be shipping with.

    You can add your idea to the ideas board for other customers to vote on, I've left a link below.

    On each sales order:

    • The customers EORI and VAT number should show under the address on the sales order GUI. (Pulled through from the account records) This will highlight to staff taking the order that this information is missing and must be obtained ASAP – if this is left missing when the order is ready for shipping it can add days while we wait for the customer to supply details.
    • On the delivery address (order tab) VAT and EORI fields for times when the delivery address is to different company to the invoice address. -  (I note that in the Change Tab you can currently choose a different account to deliver the goods to, including recording the VAT records. (So why not the EORI?))
    • On the delivery address (order tab) We need fields to record the Custom broker or Shipping agents full address details and it should include the separate VAT and EORI number fields of the shipping agent, as they are completing the T1 forms etc.

     Below is an example for a typical order, when using a shipping agent.                                                                                                                                                                                

     Invoice address : Malta (with EU VAT / EORI number) or Cayman Islands (non EU)

    Delivery Address : Palma (Spain)

    Shipping agent : Barcelona (Spain)

     As the shipping agent in the intermediary (completing the customs T1 forms etc ) their full address, VAT / EORI number needs to be recorded somewhere ready for us to book the shipping – we need to record this info in Sage and not on a paper stapled to the sales order.!
