Filing a New Report

The Out of State Manufacturer’s Monthly Report combines the three pages of the paper report. The data entered into the Report Detail tab will be automatically calculated on the Summary of Transactions screen.

Differences from Paper Reporting

The General Information tab will auto populate with information provided during the registration process. A Reporting Period month and year must be selected. A selection from the Amended? pull down menu is also required. Only if the report gets amended, should “Yes” be selected from the drop down box. Add the Report Submitted By name, which is the person verifying the submitted information.

Completing the General Information Tab

In the Report Detail there is a drop down box for Transaction Type. Select the appropriate transaction and complete the required fields, designated by the asterisks. Add Transaction should be selected. After each entry has been added, they will be listed individually. Under Product Transaction Summary the entries will be summed up.

Report Detail Overview

Using the Lookup Feature

There are two ways to search for licenses via the Lookup feature. If the license number is known, enter in the Florida License/Permit # field and select the Lookup button. If the name of the company is known, enter the entire or part of the name in the Name of Supplier/Purchaser field and select Lookup. If neither option produces the needed results, a list of licenses can found using the following link: http://www.myfloridalicense.com/dbpr/abt/auditing/ABTLicensesandPermits.html If you still do not find what you need, contact the EDS Help desk at eds.support@myfloridalicense.com.

Multiple Lookup Results

In the event of multiple returns from using the Lookup feature, select the appropriate Business Name using the radio button to the left of the name and select OK at the bottom of the Select your license screen. If you do not see your license, select Cancel and contact the EDS Help Desk at EDS.SUPPORT@MYFLORIDALICENSE.COM. Supply the name and address of the business if possible.

No Results Using the Lookup Feature

If an invalid or unrecognized license number is entered, a red error message displays, “Invalid License # for this report!” or “No matching record found for this License Number!”.

Adding a Transaction

After a transaction has been entered, each will appear individually underneath the entry fields as well as totaled under the Product Transaction Summary section.

Deleting Entries

An entry cannot be changed; it can only be deleted using the red radio button at the far right of the entries.

On the Summary of Transactions tab, all data entered on the Report Detail screen is automatically calculated and carried over onto this screen.
