2 Configure Trade Management

Trade Management requires a certain amount of foundation data in order to configure the functionality. This includes data that it uses from Merchandising, as well as foundation data owned by Trade Management. The key foundation data owned by Trade Management includes:

  • Entry Statuses and Types

  • Freight Sizes and Types

  • Standard Carrier Alpha Codes (SCAC)

  • Harmonized Tariff Schedules

For more information on how to configure each of these pieces of data, see the Oracle Retail Import Management Foundation Data User Guide.

  • Items

  • Cost zones

  • Suppliers

  • Partners - including banks, importers, agents, and brokers
