Enter EORI numbers in Sage 50 Accounts v27.2 and above
Description

From 1 January 2021, businesses need an Economic Operator Registration and Identification (EORI) number to import and export goods between the EU and the UK. Sage 50 Accounts v27.2 introduces new fields to store your customer and supplier EORI numbers.

The EORI number is also known as the Exporter Reference Number (ERN) or the exporter's Registered Exporter (REX) number.

Enter your company EORI number

  1. Click Settings then click Company Preferences.
  2. Enter your Password and click OK.
  3. In the Details tab enter your EORI Number then click OK.

Enter an EORI number for a customer or supplier

NOTE: In v29 you can now add the EORI number into the delivery address when creating an invoice or credit within the Order tab.
