Document Determination

Using compliance rules, you can configure that based on specific criteria declarations must have certain types of documents. One such type of document is an export declaration. The documents that must be generated for a declaration are displayed in the Required Documents grid on the Declaration manager on the UI.

Global Trade Management Cloud ships with a pre-defined document type called AES_FILING, which helps create an EDI formatted export declaration that can be filed with the U.S. Census via AES. The AES_FILING document type is associated with the EAR and ITAR regimes. Document type to regime associations can be added or modified via the Regime Document Definition power data.

Note: AES_FILING is a declaration-level filing document type. So when creating rules to determine the required AES filing documents on a declaration, clear the For Transaction Line check box on the Compliance Rules page.

You can create additional document types for use with other regimes or for other end uses such as a compliance invoice.
