Polish Classification of Products and Services (PKWiU)

The Polish Classification of Products and Services is intended for use in statistics analyses and reports, transaction recording, documentation and accounting, as well as in tax issues (including goods and services tax), official registers and public administration IT systems. The classification (PKWiU 2015) has been in force since 1 January 2016.

PKWiU functionality, which is an element of Polish Localization , allows you to record purchase and sale transactions with the PKWiU code appropriate for a given item. If needed, the code is printed on sales invoices.

Defining the PKWiU Code Dictionary

To avoid confusion when entering PKWiU Codes in transactions, you must first define a dictionary of valid PKWiU codes that will be used in the corresponding fields. To define PKWiU codes:

  1. Choose Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature icon, enter PKWiU Codes, and then select a related link.

  2. On the PKWiU Codes page, in the subsequent lines enter codes and relevant descriptions which must be consistent with the Polish Classification of Products and Services.

Assigning a Default PKWiU Code

If a company trades products for which it is mandatory to include PKWiU information, a default PKWiU code can be assigned to the item card; this way, the code will be to purchase and sales documents with this item. To assign the default PKWiU code:

  1. Choose Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature icon, enter Item, and then select a related link.

  2. Select an item and open the item card.

  3. On the Invoicing FastTab on the Item Card page, click the drop-down arrow in the PKWiU field to select the correct PKWiU code from the previously defined dictionary.

Assigning PKWiU Codes on Sales Invoices

The principle for entering codes on the sales invoice is identical on the pages: Sales Order and Sales Invoice. See the example below. To include PKWiU codes on a sales invoice:

  1. Choose the Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature icon, enter Sales Invoices, and then select a related link.

  2. On the page that opens, select New and enter all the data.

  3. On the Lines FastTab, note that a value appears in the PKWiU field.

  • The PKWiU field is filled automatically in the line, for which an Item is selected in the Type field, and if an item is selected in the No. field, for which a default PKWiU is assigned. It is possible to change the inserted PKWiU code by clicking the drop-down arrow in the PKWiU field to select the code from the previously defined code list.

  • The PKWiU field is left empty, if in the Type field the G/L Account type is selected and in the No. field the service revenue account is selected. If required, select a correct PKWiU code from the previously defined code list by clicking the drop-down arrow in the PKWiU field.

  1. It is possible to issue and print a sales invoice based on the sales order that was created. To do this, select Post & Print. The sales invoice printout includes the relevant information about PKWiU codes for sold products and services.
Note

The PKWiU field is available in the following document lines: Sales Invoice, Sales Order, Sales Credit Memo, Sales Return Order and Sales Invoice and Sales Credit Memo printouts.
