With Advantage Customs and SAP
Create, manage, and send confirmation of receipt
We have our customs software 
Extend Customs adds a feature that allows you to easily create, send, manage, and admonish receipts. Depending on your requirements, we provide you with the function as a SAP plug-in or interface for integration into your system landscape.
Functionality
Entry confirmations can be generated directly from Advantage Customs or SAP.
For each manually collected or generated data, a PDF document (GB document) is created for delivery to the recipient.
This PDF document contains the data of the shipment (sender, customer, date, goods data) the frame data of the transaction (operation number, date, recipient e-mail address,…).
Your benefits

- Transparent status display
- Full integration with Advantage Customs or SAP
- High flexibility with regard to pre-documents
- Audit-proof document storage
- Accelerated processing at the customer’s
Automating processes
By using e-mail and the GB portal, you can automate and simplify your processes.
A confirmation request will be sent to the recipient by e-mail. The mail contains:
- a link to the GB portal (“Quick-Link”) where the customer confirms or refuses to enter,
- information on framework data and the call for confirmation.
The receipt document can be downloaded via the Quick link in the entry confirmation portal.

Is a confirmation of entry mandatory?
The confirmation of entry (GB) came after intensive discussions and a change in the VAT Implementation Ordinance (in accordance with Section 17a UStDV), as of 01.10.2013. Since then, confirmations of entry are regarded, among other things, as proof of all modes of transport. And there is no question of dealing with the obligation to provide proof of VAT exemption for intra-European transport.
Background knowledge for confirmation of entry
The confirmation of entry was introduced on 01.01.2012 and was intended to replace the existing proof. However, there were numerous protests from the business community, which led to a new regulation of the controversial version of the underlying VAT implementing regulation. Since the cut-off date, 01.10.2013, the confirmation of entry has been regarded as proof of all modes of transport in the case of intra-Community deliveries. Alternatively, proofs are possible if third parties, such as freight forwarders, are involved in the transport process.
