AES Filing Enhancements

This feature enhances the AES Filing capability to address recent regulatory updates affecting the X12.601 Customs and Border Protection (CBP) - Export Shipment Information specification. As part of these updates, the BIS License Code C78 for Syria Peace and Prosperity (SPP) has been added to the default code mapping, AES FILING MAPPING DEFAULT, included with GTM. The "SPP" license exception code, applicable to EAR99, is now available in the code mapping’s Authorization and Exception Control Code sections, with a default external code of "C78".
