Hi all,
I’m based in Estonia and trying to integrate Breww a little nicer for our local tax office systems, making my reporting easier. But I’m a little unsure the best way to go about this.
In the ideal world how we would work is:
-Brew beer at site (non-bonded warehouse)
-Package beer at site into containers (moved into a bonded warehouse)
-Export sales happen from the bonded warehouse
-For local and taproom sales, they are manually transferred into a non-bonded warehouse, and available to sell after this.
Where I’m tripping myself up is the easiest way to achieve this - I don’t want racked containers to be able to be sold locally until I have manually moved them to a non bonded warehouse, but I do want export sales to be possible through the bonded warehouse - no manually moving them required.
I think that I may be wanting to setup a second site, and mark this one as for order fulfilment? But then it seems I would need yet another site setup and have this one setup for export orders to keep them separately?
Some extra info:
-Majority of customers are local sales, not export
-We only have a single physical site
-I don’t want or need that goods can be transferred back to a bonded warehouse after they’ve been released for local sale to a non-bonded warehouse
-The goal is to keep excise declared products shown separately to those in the excise warehouse, and to prevent anyone accidentally selling something that has not been declared by myself
Any help would be super appreciated!

Hi Chris, Thanks for your comment, and welcome to the community! Based on the flow that you have suggested, you could create a site to represent your brewery, which is ‘non-bonded’; however, any stock packaged here will not incur excise, as all batches created and packaged are excise tax suspended in Breww by default. You could then create your bonded warehouse for export and transfer the stock (please see: Stock transfers). As this movement is to a bonded site, no excise will be incurred. If you create an order for export from this fulfilment site (using a delivery address outside of your brewery country), then no excise will be incurred. If you were to create a ‘standard’ order from this site, excise would be incurred when the order is dispatched. You will be able to link your export customers to use this site for order fulfilment; I would recommend selecting the Only fulfill orders for linked customers checkbox when creating the site. The customer can then be linked by heading to the customer account and scrolling down to the last option shown on the left for Order fulfilment. You will then be able to select this site, and the Require all orders to be fulfilled from one of the sites selected above checkbox.
Any stock destined for the taproom or local sales can be transferred to another site in Breww, which represents a non-bonded warehouse; at this point, excise tax will be incurred in Breww on the stock. You could then link your local sales customers to this site so they exclusively use this site for fulfilment.
However, there could be some alternative ways to handle what you need here; if you would like to speak to a member of the support team to discuss this in more detail, then it would be great if you could raise a support ticket with access granted to your account. You can raise a ticket here. Let me know if you need anything else. Cheers!
Hi Ben,
Thanks so much for your response!
I think based on this it can be even easier in my case - since the excise part of Breww doesn’t apply here (it’s handled outside of Breww as it doesn’t really work over here), then I can do the following.
-Set our bonded part of the “Brewery” site as the default site for racking, but only fulfilling linked accounts
-Create a new site “excise warehouse”, that is marked as unbonded
-Perform a stock transfer from the bonded “Brewery” site whenever I declare products
-Manually link all export customers to be fulfilled from the default bonded brewery site
This way the majority of the (local) customers don’t need to be specially assigned a fulfilment site, but they cannot be sold to until I have declared goods and performed the stock transfer.
Easy for our salesperson too.
I’ll give it a go this way and see if any problems occur, but you’ve helped me get the simple solution I was after but just couldn’t see for the trees
