Before you can use the Intrastat Journal, you must decide which Intrastat journal templates and batches you will use. You do this in the Intrastat Journal Templates and Intrastat Jnl. Batches windows.
Because Intrastat is reported monthly, you must create 12 Intrastat journals based on the same template. You set up the names of these 12 journals in the Intrastat Jnl. Batches window.
