If you are shipping Business to Business (B2B) from Great Britain to Northern Ireland, under the Windsor Framework, you will be required to provide either the sender or recipient's EORI number along with a UKIMS (UK Internal Market Scheme) number.
Information on how to apply for a UKIMS number can be found at https://www.gov.uk/.
How will Scurri identify a B2B shipment?
Scurri will identify a shipment as B2B if a recipient's company name is provided.
How will Scurri handle a B2B shipment under Windsor Framework?
- If a recipient company name is provided, Scurri will check if a recipient EORI and UKIMS number has been provided
- If they are present, they will be supplied to the carrier
- If they are not present, Scurri will take the sender EORI and UKIMS, and they will be supplied to the carrier
- If neither are provided, and the carrier requires them, the shipment will fall into error.
The provided numbers must be either sender or recipient; a combination of both cannot be used.
How to supply EORI and UKIMS numbers
Sender EORI
The sender EORI number is an existing field that can be set up for a company and/or warehouse.
If the EORI number is the same for all warehouses, adding the EORI at the Company level is sufficient.
Scurri will take the EORI number from the Warehouse associated with the shipment, if the EORI is not available on the Warehouse level it will take the EORI number from the Company level.
To access the field, go to:
- Company level: Setup > Company Setup > Company > Eori number
- Warehouse level: Setup > Company Setup > Warehouse, and select the relevant warehouse(s) > Eori number
A sender EORI number can also be provided through the Scurri API in the "override_sender_eori" field of the "customer_attributes". The Scurri API documentation provides more information.
Recipient EORI
The recipient EORI number is an existing field that can be provided through API, UI, CSV and Peoplevox.
- API: Within the recipient, there is an "eori_number" field
- The Scurri API documentation provides more information
- UI: On a shipment, access tab 2. Order Info and the "Recipient EORI Number" field is available
- CSV: When mapping a CSV Profile, recipient EORI is mapped to "Ship to EORI"
- Peoplevox: In the Peoplevox Integration setup, "Key for recipient eori" can be set
- Access Company Setup> Integrations > Edit PeopleVox API > In the "Key for recipient eori" add the attribute field name to which the recipient EORI number is mapped in Peoplevox
Sender & Recipient UKIMS
Two new fields have been added to Scurri to support adding either a Sender or Recipient UKIMS number.
The fields will be called;
- Sender Tax Scheme ID
- Recipient Tax Scheme ID
These fields can be populated using the Scurri API, Rules, CSV import profile, on a shipment in the Scurri UI and can be imported from Peoplevox.
The fields can be switched on on Sandbox if you wish to test populating them. Please contact Support to activate.
API
The Tax Schement ID fields are available in the export Customs section of the Create Consignment API call.
"export_customs": {
"sender_tax_scheme_id": "35435345",
"recipient_tax_scheme_id": "12345678"
},
Rules
Both fields will be available at the bottom of a rule and either field can be populated with the UKIMS number on the appropriate rule.
Shipment
When creating or editing a shipment on Scurri, on Tab 2. Order Info, at the bottom of the page you will find the new Sender Tax Scheme IDs
CSV import
Both fields will be available to map in a CSV profile
Peoplevox
If you have a field in Peoplevox which will hold either the sender or recipient UKIMS number, this can be mapped against the Sender and/or Recipient Tax Scheme ID in your Peoplevox configuration by the Scurri Support Team. Please get in contact with Support if you wish to set this up on Sandbox at the moment.
