Configuring and printing export-related documents

The European Union (EU) has completed preferential agreements with several countries or groups of countries. These countries include the Central European countries, some Mediterranean countries, and other countries such as Mexico and South Africa.

These preferential agreements supplement tariff reductions and preferences. Therefore, the importation of goods into a country that has an agreement can be duty free or at reduced rates of duty.

The origin of the goods must be proved when the goods are crossing the border. The proof is provided by the appropriate movement certificate, such as EUR.1, EUR-MED, Form A, or A.TR.

The data that is used to print these documents is imported from the ERP system, for example Infor LN, through Shipment BOD, CarrierRoute BOD, and Invoice BOD.

If a shipper's Export Status is Complete and the shipper is invoiced, then you can print the movement certificates. See Preparing the printing of export-related documents and Configuring the workflow and item master data.
