Shipping address to a foreign country

Sometimes domestic customers want to receive a shipment abroad regularly. In this case, the value added tax (VAT) must be handled differently. While you can add a custom Ship-to address on any Sales document, this setup allows you to automatically select the correct posting groups and VAT information if this address is foreign.

Set up a foreign address

  1. Choose the Search icon, enter Customers, and choose the related link.
  2. Select the Customer for whom you want to create a shipping address abroad.
  3. Choose the Search icon, enter Ship-to Addresses, and choose the related link.
  4. An overview of the current addresses for this Customer opens, click New in the top menu to create a new address.
  5. Fill out all relevant information in the General FastTab, such as a recognizable Code and the address information.
  6. In the Export FastTab, set up posting groups and VAT information. If the fields are left empty, the default information from the Customer will be used.

Choose the foreign address in a Sales document

Now that the foreign address has been created, it should be selected in a Sales document as follows:

  1. Open the Sales document.
  2. In the Ship-to field on the Shipping and Billing FastTab, select Alternate Shipping Address.
  3. In the Code field, select the Code for the foreign address that you just created.
