List Trade Partners

Declarations containing VIES data (this can be either a combined declaration or a VIES declaration) always require the VAT-number of a trade partner to be entered. Since you might not always have this VAT-number present at hand, a list of often used VAT-numbers and their (nick-)names can entered in the system. This list is Declarant dependent, meaning that for every SE a separate list is present. The valid trade partners in this list can later be used when creating a declaration line.

The following actions can be performed on this list:

• Return: Show the list of declarations. Often a logical next step after trade partners have been edited.
• Add: Create a new Trade Partner entry.
• Import: Go to the import page and obtain trade partners from an outside source.

When one or more items are selected in the list, the following actions apply.

• Modify: Change an existing entry. This can also mean fix an erroneous entry that was imported. A faster way to accomplish this action is by clicking directly on the hyper-link without having to select the item first.
• Consult: Just look at the entry. There is no possibility to change the data.
• Delete: Remove the selected entries from the list. You will be prompted for confirmation.
• Delete All: Remove all items from the list. This can be helpful when the list of trade partners comes from an external source and is imported. Periodically deleting all entries and re-importing the complete list is in such a case common practice.
