Intrastat

In Business Central there is a table exit/entry point where you can define from where your goods will be received from/delivered to. This field is also available on sales/purchase order. If you enter exit/entry point on order level, it will appear in item ledger entry. However, intrastat report itself does not take this into account.
I was expecting that this would solve the problem when you buy goods from an EU-vendor but the goods will be shipped from outside EU.
Has anyone tested this? Opinions about how this is supposed to work?
