Global Trade Compliance

GTC for Export Compliance

The Global Trade Compliance functionality can be used to check if specific items can be exported to a specific country or 'from or to' a specific business partner.

This functionality is used to:

  • Execute internal, or external checks, or both. The internal checks are executed in Infor LN and the external checks are executed using an external application.
  • Create and maintain export licenses. This information is used during the internal compliance check.
GTC for Import Compliance

The Global Trade Compliance functionality is used for import scenarios. The proposed solution covers global trade compliance for business partners, based on the import documents such as; purchase orders, warehouse receipts, or Advanced Shipment Notices.

The import scenario is considered, when the ship-from country is different from the ship-to country, specified for the Receipt Line in Warehousing.

For the external check, export and import compliance data is specified for each item. This data can be sent to an external application and used as input for the compliance check. If the check fails, the export or import of goods is blocked. However, an authorized user can override the compliance check failures for documents and the export or import block can be overruled.
