Import and export files, declarations and bonded stock on one screen

Overview

The ISIS Foreign Trade Package supports the definition and management of import and export processes. It is designed to accommodate regulatory changes, with custom development available to reflect customer requirements in the software.

Customs processes are managed from one screen, simplifying operational tracking and supporting the calculation and reporting of customs duties and other costs. Customs and logistics are considered together to improve compliance, preserve established working practices and reduce process costs.

Integrations

The solution includes a package for manually handling transactions with authorities and intermediaries, as well as an integration package for connecting those processes. Previous foreign trade projects have included integrations with customs brokers, the customs ministry, other SAP systems and non-SAP systems.

Export files and documents

Invoices sent to the e-export system are listed and an export file is created to generate the reference number to be shared with the customs broker. Files can be reported at both header and item level from a single screen.

The export file corresponds to the customs declaration number. Files containing multiple invoices can be tracked under one number. The file reference is used to generate documents such as English-language invoices, bill of lading instructions and movement certificates.

Once the export customs declaration has been imported into the system, invoices and debit notes received from the customs broker are posted to the required accounting accounts, avoiding manual entry. Recorded costs are tracked by export file.

The solution reports differences between invoice exchange rates and the rates on the export completion date. Letters of credit associated with an export file can also be reported by file. Temporary exports linked to imports are tracked. Where integration is in place, work order instructions are sent to the customs broker automatically.

Export reports

  • Export files.
  • Export inward processing authorization certificate (DİİB) report.
  • Export completion.
  • Exchange rate differences.
  • Export letters of credit.

  • Export incidental costs.

Frequently asked questions

Can the SAP Export Package be used on its own?
Export functionality covers sales processes, export files, document outputs and collection tracking. Whether to proceed with export functions alone should be assessed against the existing SAP processes and required connections.
Can the SAP Import Package be used on its own?
Import functionality covers bonded warehouse and customs inventory, purchasing links, costs and reporting. The scope and system connections required to use import functions alone should be established through a requirements analysis.
Do we need customs integration?
The foreign trade solution offers a package for manually handling transactions with authorities and intermediaries, as well as an integration package for connecting those processes. The need for integration depends on your workflows and requirements for automatic data exchange.
