After the correction work is completed and the comments are corrected, the declaration is submitted for re-verification – button
The deadline for checking repeated declarations is 1 month.

2. The accounting document indicates a larger quantity than was used in the production of biomass. Can I declare a smaller quantity?

Yes, you can declare a smaller quantity than indicated in the accounting document.

3. I received a notification about the rejection of the declaration due to a discrepancy in the quantity in the accounting document. What should I do?

Make sure that no conversion was performed when declaring.
If the units of measurement indicated in the accounting document are m3, the declaration must specify whether the quantity of raw material, expressed in cubic metres, coincides with the quantity of raw material, expressed in solid cubic metres (solid m3) or loose cubic metres (loose m3).

4. Transfers are carried out in loose cubic metres, therefore, the declaration also indicates loose cubic metres, and in accounting documents, the quantity is indicated in solid cubic metres. Why is the declaration rejected and how to declare units correctly?

Declare the quantity expressed in the same unit of measurement as in the indicated accounting document. The system automatically converts the quantity of raw material from solid cubic metres to loose cubic metres, based on the conversion matrix approved by the operator (RED BP biomass sustainability system)

5. What documents must be submitted in the declaration and what data must be indicated in the accounting document?

The declaration must provide the data of the accounting document and, if applicable, copies of the documents up to the original owner of the raw material.

  • Type of biomass or raw material;
  • Quantity of biomass or raw material (loose cubic metres or solid cubic metres).

If certified wood is supplied, it is not mandatory to provide copies of the accounting document and data up to the original owner.
If the biomass seller himself is the original owner of the raw material, alternative documents may be submitted instead of accounting documents. These must prove the period and content of the economic transaction (type and quantity of raw material or biomass) and the amount (price of the raw material or biomass). Acceptable documents may include an inventory report, a summary report, an acceptance report, or similar. Additionally, documents proving ownership must also be submitted.

6. Why is the declaration rejected due to a mismatch between the series and number of the accounting document?

Check whether the data specified in the declaration exactly matches the records in the accounting document and whether the series and number fields are filled in correctly.

7. What should I do if the accounting document does not have a separate series and number?

In this case, the date of the accounting document can be indicated in the series and number field in the declaration.

8. Can I declare raw materials in the RED BP system if they were purchased several years ago?

No. The accounting document substantiating the declared quantity cannot be older than one year.

9. What price should be indicated when completing the declaration?

It is mandatory to indicate the unit price in EUR/loose m3 or EUR/solid m3.
If the unit price is not provided in the accounting document, it is determined by calculating the weighted price: the amount divided by the quantity.

10. I purchased the raw material in tons. How should I calculate the declared quantity?

The declared quantity is in loose m3 or solid m3. If the quantity in the accounting document is given in tonnes (T), it is converted according to the established coefficients.
If the moisture content is not indicated, a conversion coefficient of 35% is applied.

11. By when do I have to submit the auditor’s assessment report if I declared with a note about the financial audit at the end of the year?

The biomass seller must submit the auditor’s report by 30 March of the current year.

12. My declaration was rejected because an accounting document or data is missing to confirm the declared quantity. What should I do?

You can confirm the declared quantity with a document that can confirm the resulting quantity (e.g. VAT invoice, acceptance-transfer act, internal documents, shipping notes).

  1. 1. Acceptance-transfer report, if the contract stipulates that the completed work or the generated quantity is recorded using such a report.
  2. 2. An internal document of the participant’s company, e.g., a goods receipt, inventory, shredding report, or similar, if the contract does not provide for the use of an acceptance-transfer report to record the completed work or generated quantity.
  3. 3. Another document or set of documents held by the participant that allows determination of the transaction period or date, content (type and quantity of raw material or biomass), such as waybills.
13. My declaration was rejected. Do I have to submit it again?

No. Rejected declarations can be corrected and the same declaration can be submitted repeatedly.

14. How many documents can I attach to the declaration?

Only one document can be added to the accounting document fields, but the number of documents in the Additional documents field is not limited.

15. I purchased raw materials through an intermediary, but he does not agree to declare them in the RED BP system. In what cases can an intermediary be considered the primary owner of the raw material?

An intermediary can be considered the primary owner of the raw material if he has a lease or rental agreement that allows him to manage the parcel of land at the time of the raw material formation.
