Report Detail
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, it will be listed individually. Under Product Transaction Summary the
entries will be summed by Pack Size.
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/Consignee field and select Lookup. If neither option produces
the needed results, a list of licenses can found using the following link:

If you still do not find what you need, contact the EDS Help Desk at
[email protected] .
Multiple Lookup Results
In the event of multiple returns from using the Lookup feature, select the
appropriate Business Name using the radio button to the left of the name
and select OK at the bottom of the Select your license screen. If you do
not see your license, select Cancel and contact the EDS Help Desk at
[email protected]. Supply the name and address of the business if
possible.
Once the Florida License/Permit information populates, you must include a
Reference Number, Date, and Quantity.
