How You Screen Shipment Lines for Trade Compliance

Oracle Shipping integration with a trade management system enables you to screen shipment lines for trade compliance.

You can:

  • Publish trade screening request events that are visible in Integration Cloud Service (ICS)

  • Enable users to determine which lines to screen

  • Enable the trade management system to receive shipment lines and send back screening results

How Compliance Screening Works for Shipment Lines

You can publish a new trade compliance screening event as soon as it's staged or anytime thereafter. This event includes a list of shipment line identifiers and is available by way of ICS. ICS is an end-to-end integration orchestration platform that simplifies how to use and apply product integrations offered within the cloud.

The determination of when an event is published for a shipment line is based on the trade compliance screening method selected for the line. The choices are:

  • None. Shipment lines are not screened for trade compliance.

  • Pick confirm. You must submit shipment lines for trade compliance screening as soon as the lines are picked and staged. However, for outside processing and return to supplier order types, you must submit shipment lines for trade compliance screening as soon as the lines are created

  • User initiated. You must manually submit shipment lines for trade compliance screening after the lines have been pick and staged. You do so by initiating the Check for Trade Compliance action from the Manage Shipments page or the Manage Shipment Lines page in the Inventory Management work area in the Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management offering.

Using this screening event, the trade management system pulls the list of shipment lines that are ready for compliance screening. After screening is complete, the trade management system sends back shipping line updates to Shipping with the screening results.

Shipping Support for Trade Compliance

Shipping enables the trade management system to receive shipment lines and send back the screening results.

The decision to screen shipment lines for trade compliance is transacted independently within the Shipping application. Any setup or decisions made about screening in the order management functions does not have an impact in Shipping. You select the screening method for a shipment line based on the selection made when releasing the line for picking. The trade compliance screening details are available to be included in the shipping documents.
