DMS 4.0 Export Test Scenarios
Introduction
The Shipment Test Tool allows you to simulate various DMS 4.0 Export scenarios.
Each scenario represents a possible stage in the lifecycle of an export declaration, from submission and customs clearance to inspections and alternative proof of exit procedures.
In addition, Stratech Shipment can automatically send customs declaration status updates back to your ERP system through status messages.
The first status message is sent as soon as the declaration has been submitted to Customs. Additional status messages are then sent automatically whenever the declaration status changes.
Please note: the automatic return of customs status messages to an ERP system is only supported when using Stratech Shipment.
This functionality is not available via Beurtvaartadres Shipment Manager.
As a result, users of Beurtvaartadres Shipment Manager will not receive automatic declaration status updates in their ERP system.
