Specifying the weight

Setting the weight per unit

For most goods, you need to submit your Intrastat declaration based on their net weight, rounded to the nearest kilogram. You are therefore required to specify the weight in Isah for all parts that will be included in your declaration. Enter the weight in the Weight per unit field on the General tab of the Parts form.

Note: Weights of less than 1 kilogram must always be rounded up for declaration purposes; the integration module will do this automatically.

Specifying a conversion factor

Because the purchase unit and the sales unit may differ from the stock unit, you also need to enter the conversion factor for these units. Enter the conversion factor in the Purchase unit field (on the Purchase tab) and in the Sales unit field (on the Sales tab). If both fields have been filled in correctly, you will be able to sell and purchase items in any unit.

Setting dummy parts

If you are using dummy parts for export or import transactions, it is not possible to set a default weight for a part on theParts form, as the dummy is used for different products each time.

In these cases, you can specify the weight per part unit on the purchase order or sales order: use the Supplier part number field (for purchase lines) or the Customer part number field (for sales lines). You will need to configure Isah to retrieve the weight from these fields. This is done on the Intrastat settings - Belgium form:

If you have entered the weight in the alternative field, Isah will use that weight. If the field has no weight filled in, Isah will use the weight specified for the corresponding dummy part on the Parts form.

Note: If you activate the parameters, the Supplier part number and Customer part number fields can only contain numerical values.
