Redwood: Create and Edit Trade Operation Templates Using the New User Experience

The Trade Operation Templates page helps you to create reusable templates with predefined duty, freight, and other landed cost charges. When a new shipment arrives, you can quickly apply a template in the Trade Operations page to automatically populate cost details, significantly reducing manual data entry, and ensuring consistency in landed cost processing. You can now streamline your process by creating trade operation templates using this new Redwood page. Templates are ideal when you need to create similar trade operations repeatedly, ensuring consistency and saving time.

Each template includes key details, such as the supplier, charge lines, reference types, routes, and other relevant information. When you create a trade operation from a template, all this information is automatically copied into the trade operation. You can still review and adjust the copied details as needed.

When you're creating or editing a trade operation template, you can enable template review, which allows you to review your template on a monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis. This helps you keep your templates up-to-date, and enables you to delete or update any templates that aren't in use.

Some of the benefits of this feature include:

  • Quickly apply preconfigured templates when a new shipment arrives to automatically populate landed cost details, saving time and reducing effort in manual data entry.
  • Ensure uniformity across trade operations by reusing templates with predefined duty, freight, and other charges. This minimizes the risk of errors and variations in landed cost calculations.
  • Built-in review mechanisms (monthly, quarterly, yearly) help keep templates current and relevant. Easily identify and update outdated templates using review status filters.
  • Particularly valuable for organizations with high shipment volumes or standardized procurement patterns, enabling scalable and efficient landed cost processing.
