GTC - end user statements

Previously, Global Trade Compliance (GTC) included single item license management and checks.

Now, parameters have been added to support these new concepts:

End User Statement
This is a document that a customer fills out to detail the end use and end user of the sold item. It is used for Military Items or Dual Use Items that must be tracked during export, import, or domestic outbound and inbound transactions.
End User Declarations
This is an addition to the end user statement. It is used to manage the import of specific items to comply with the item that is sold to the end user. Check boxes have been added to manage the buying and making of items linked to an end user statement. Thus, only those items can be used in making and selling the end item. End user declarations can have a Re-Export Type, which allows changing ownership from one end user statement to another. The re-export is performed in Warehousing as part of the ownership change of existing inventory.

To support end user statements and end user declarations, these improvements have been made for licenses:

  • Multiple items are allowed on a license.
  • Conditions (called provisos) can be used to limit logistic steps, such as release to warehousing if a proviso has not been completed.
  • A license can be a child license for a specific country or component. Exporting an item that contains parts from, for example, the USA or UK can require the exporting country license and the export license for the USA or UK. Consequently, the item shipment can be tracked by multiple licenses for the end item and key components.
  • Licenses can track consumptions during demand entry for an order or contract deliverable. So, Order Consumptions can be tracked.

End user statements can now also be used by service objects, such as maintenance sales orders (part delivery), and field service orders (material lines).
