Adding Report Detail
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.
Adding a Transaction Select a Transaction Type from the pull down menu. There are three different transaction types from which to choose. Use Other In for returns from retailers or taxable wholesale dealer transactions.
Adding a Transaction When you enter the Florida License/Permit#, the Name and Address fields should populate. If the permit number is unknown, type the name of the Supplier/Purchaser into the Florida License/Permit# field and click on Lookup.
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 here. If you still do not find what you need, contact the EDS Help desk at eds.support@myfloridalicense.com.
No Results Using the Lookup Feature If an invalid license number is entered, a red error message displays, Enter a valid License Number.
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. The transaction types and quantities will be added individually under the Transactions area. These transactions will also be summed by Transaction Type in the Transaction Summary..

If all of the required fields have not been completed, EDS will flag those empty fields and block the transaction.
