Global trade compliance in Warehousing

In Warehousing, the global trade compliance check is an optional step that you can add to the inbound or the outbound flow. It is a process that verifies if specific import or export requirements are met.

For this purpose, in the inbound flow this process performs various import compliance checks on receipts. If advance shipment notices are used, the import compliance checks are also performed on ASNs.

In the outbound flow, this process performs export compliance checks on shipment lines.

For example, to check if the required licenses are available to export an item to the destination country, or to check if the applicable import licenses are met for an ASN.

If a validation error is returned after performing an import or export compliance check, the errors must be corrected before the:

• ASN can be received.
• Receipt can be confirmed.
• Shipment process can be completed.

Licenses and other trade compliance data is set up using the Global Trade Compliance functionality in Common. The import and export compliance checks are performed using the Global Trade Compliance functionality in Common.
