  Error Message
  WS_INTRASTAT048
  Text: Intrastat: Goods Flow "Combined" only for declarations in own name
  
  Cause
  This error occurs during Intrastat reporting when the Goods Flow indicator is set to "Combined" (usually represented by a specific code, e.g., 'C'), but the declaration is not made in the company's own name.
