How can this happen?

The following example may help explain the problem:
You create an invoice document based on a German company code. The
goods are sent to the customer from a plant in France, which is
assigned to the German company code in the organizational structure.
You want to create a German intra-European Union trade statistics
(INTRASTAT) declaration for goods dispatch, so you start a data
selection for the German company code. The invoice document for the
INTRASTAT declaration is then included in the selection, which is
incorrect, since these declarations must only be reported in the
countries that are physically involved in the goods movement. The
invoice document in this example should only appear in a French INTRAS
TAT declaration for goods dispatch.
