License Filtering EDS filters licenses to only allow those that should be associated with a specific report. If submission of transaction detail with an incorrect license type or an expired license is attempted, EDS will reject it and return an error message. For the Beer Manufacturer s Report only the following license types will be allowed based upon the type of transaction: Beer Manufacturers Retailers (Package Stores) Consumption on Premises (COPs) 4700006 (International) 4700007 (Out of State Military) 4700013 (Samples)
Invoice Information The invoice date and invoice number must match exactly what is printed on the invoice. This is for any invoice for product you receive or selling and invoicing to another licensee. No other data should be used in these fields.
Transaction Filtering After a license has been selected for a product transaction, the transaction type control will be changed to indicate which transactions are allowed for the license selected. The items in white and do not have an x are allowable transaction types. The items that have an x and are highlighted yellow indicate the transaction type is not allowed for the license selected. If the user selects an invalid transaction type, they will see the above validation error message.
Report Detail Overview 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.
Using the Lookup Feature There are two ways to search for licensees via the Lookup feature. If the license number is known, enter the number in the Florida License/Permit # field and select the Lookup button. If the name of the licensee is known, enter the entire name or enter the first part of the name followed by the % sign in the Name of Supplier/Purchaser field. Select Lookup. The % will start a wildcard search and provide a greater chance of finding the licensee.
No Results Using the Lookup Feature If an invalid or unrecognized license number is entered, a red error message displays, Enter a Valid License Number A licensee s name and/or their license number can be verified by navigating to the list of beverage distributors on the Division s site.

Multiple Lookup Results In the event of multiple returns from using the Lookup feature, a popup window will appear with possible options based upon the search criteria. Select the appropriate row and the fields on the Detail tab will populate with the licensee s information. The Valid Until column will only return a status of Active or an expired date value. An expired date in this column means that the actual license expired two months prior to that date and can no longer be used in EDS. If a transaction occurred within that two month time frame, contact EDS Support at EDS.SUPPORT@MYFLORIDALICENSE.COM. The columns can now be sorted using the triangles in the column headers, but the default sort is by business name. The triangle of a sorted column will appear grey and only one column can be sorted at a time. An arrow pointing down shows a sort in descending order. A upward arrow represents an ascending order sort.
Multiple Lookup Results - Continued Search Within Results allows the user to filter the search results locally. The filter functionality will hide rows that don t match the filter criteria. The filter will match across any column value. If the user does not see the needed license, select Cancel and contact the EDS Help Desk at EDS.SUPPORT@MYFLORIDALICENSE.COM. Supply the name and address of the business if possible. TIP: Make sure that your browser s pop up blocker is turned off as multiple results come up in a pop up window.
Adding a Transaction Once the required data have been entered, select the Add Transaction button. If all data have been entered correctly, then a message stating, Successfully added beer transaction. will be displayed. The transaction types and quantities will be summed within the Product Transaction Summary at the bottom of the screen under the individual transactions. If data have been incorrectly entered into the fields at the top of the screen, Clear All will remove the information above that button. If all of the required fields have not been completed, EDS will flag those empty fields and block the transaction. These steps should be duplicated for any other type of beverage transaction.
