Intrastat SSD ASCII File Format and Data Mapping
The EU SSD file specification is defined by the German federal Statistical Office. Intrastat SSD files constructed using the ASCII-character format use a fixed-length field structure. Separate files are created for Dispatch and Arrival records.
Dispatch files are named in this format:
DDDDD.ASC
where DDDDD is the interchange ID issued by the German Federal Statistical Office for reporting SSD records where the transaction indicator is Dispatch. This data is located in [tax_parms].[ssd_dispatch_interchange_id]. .ASC is the literal constant for the file extension.
Arrival files are named in this format:
AAAAA.ASC
where AAAAA is the interchange ID issued by the German Federal Statistical Office for reporting SSD records where the transaction indicator is Arrival. This data is located in [tax_parms].[ssd_arrival_interchange_id]. .ASC is the literal constant for the file extension.
Each ASCII-character formatted file is constructed using only detail records. Header records are not included in files that use the ASCII-format. Third-party information is not provided.
