Brexit Patch Release

[DJames]

Preparing for Brexit

If you are selling online into the EU then you may need to supply additional items of information with all shipments from 1st January 2021:

1. A Trade Tariff Code for each product – also known as a Commodity Code or Harmonized System (HS) Code.
2. The Country of Origin of each product. For rules to establish the Country of Origin see: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/rules-of-origin
3. An EORI number for your business. For more information see: https://www.revenue.ie/en/customs-tr...ri-system.aspx If you do not have an EORI number you can apply for one here https://www.gov.uk/eori

Depending on how you generate invoices and shipping documents etc, you may or may not need this information to be held in Sellerdeck Desktop.

If you do need to store this information in Sellerdeck Desktop, this article explains how to add the required variables.

Please follow the instructions for the Sellerdeck Desktop version(s) that you are currently using:

Sellerdeck Desktop v16 & v18

Sellerdeck Desktop 2014 (v14) and earlier

Once you have followed the relevant instructions, you will find the new settings added to your UI. The settings will be in the same location regardless of which version you have.

Brexit Update Downloads

Download and install the latest versions from here.

EORI Number

The EORI Number will appear under ‘Site’ in the ‘Details’ tab in Settings > Site Options.

Here you can also set a default Country of Origin and Trade Tariff Code for your goods, which you can override at Section and Product level (see below).



Trade Tariff Code & Country of Origin

The Trade Tariff Code and the Country of Origin will appear at the bottom of the ‘Details’ tab in the ‘Product Details’. They can also be set at Section level in the same tab of the ‘Section Details’.



Sellerdeck Desktop v16 and v18

Download and install the latest versions from here.

NB these upgrades will not make any changes to your current site design.

The v16 & v18 upgrades include the new variables (above), plus new Invoice and Packing List reports for EU orders, which incorporate the additional information that will be needed from 1st January.

To use one of these reports, select an order or block of orders; then either right-click the block or click the ‘Invoice’ or ‘Packing List’ button and select the ‘EU’ option.

If you have an older version of Sellerdeck Desktop and you do not want to upgrade, then you will need to add the three new variables by hand, and the new reports will not be available.

EU Invoices and Packing Lists with One-Click Order Completion

One-Click Order Completion (Business Settings > Order Processing) is not aware of the new Invoice and Packing List reports that were added to Sellerdeck Desktop to support Brexit.
To enable smooth operation we advise using one of the following options:

1. If you only receive a few orders from the EU, keep your current settings. For orders from the EU, print invoices and packing lists separately as required, and file or destroy your copies of the default invoices. The invoice number will be the same on both versions.
2. If you do not want to use the EU versions for all your orders, then proceed as follows:

a. Untick ‘Print Invoice’ in Business Settings > Order Processing > One-Click Order Completion
b. Ctrl-click groups of non-EU orders, right-click and select ‘Invoice’


c. Right-click again and select ‘Complete Order’
d. Repeat for EU-orders, selecting ‘EU Invoice’
e. If you need weights printed on packing lists, also disable ‘Print Packing List’ in Business Settings > Order Processing > One-Click Order Completion. Print packing lists as required, in the same way and at the same time as you print invoices.
