Edit Export Documents (Packing List / Commercial Invoice)

Overview

You can edit the packing list and commercial invoice required for customs clearance.

Purpose

The export document editing feature is used for the following purposes.

  • Addition and correction of confirmed information and correction of clerical errors: Add or correct information that was undetermined at the time of document creation, such as vessel name, ETD/ETA, Net / Gross Weight, etc. By limiting editing permissions to "Draft" and "Editable" statuses, flexible data updates are possible before finalization.
  • Preservation of transaction records and maintenance of consistency: By making the "Shipped" status uneditable, prevent ex-post alteration of finalized documents actually used for customs clearance/transportation, and preserve accurate audit trails. Also, by restricting changes to the "Buyer", maintain the link between the original order/delivery data and the export documents, preventing inconsistencies in transaction entities and the risk of misdelivery.

Feature Description

You can add detailed information and make corrections to the documents created in Create Export Documents (Packing List / Commercial Invoice) according to the actual state of the cargo.

Based on the delivery invoice data (SKU, quantity, price), define the actual packing configuration.
Specifically, assign which SKUs go into which boxes and how many, adjust the weight (Net / Gross Weight) and volume (Measurement) for each box, and complete the cargo details required for customs clearance.

Also, centrally manage information unique to trade transactions that is not included in the delivery invoice (transaction terms, payment bank accounts, transportation routes, expenses such as shipping and insurance premiums) on this screen.

Important Notes

Please note the following points when using the export document editing feature.

Editing Restrictions by Status

Editing of export documents is only possible when the status is "Draft" or "Editable".
Export documents with the status "Shipped" cannot be edited or corrected to preserve transaction records.

Restrictions on Changing Buyers and Adding Delivery Invoices

On the edit screen, you cannot change the "Buyer" determined at the time of creation.
If you have created it with the wrong buyer, delete that export document and create a new one by selecting the correct buyer.

Also, when adding "Delivery Invoice" during editing, delivery invoices that meet the following conditions cannot be selected.

  • Delivery invoices already associated with another export document
  • Delivery invoices with different transaction terms than the selected delivery invoices
  • Delivery invoices with no SKU items
    "Custom Items" included in the delivery invoice cannot be treated as line items in the export document (packing list / commercial invoice).
    Therefore, delivery invoices consisting only of custom items cannot be selected on the Select Delivery Invoices selection screen either.

Readjustment of Parcel Allocation When Changing Quantity

If you change the quantity by enabling "Allow changes to SKU export quantity" or change the configuration of parcels (boxes), be sure to reconfirm that all quantities are allocated to parcels without excess or deficiency.

If "Unassigned" quantities occur due to editing, or conversely, if the quantity in the parcel exceeds the export quantity, consistency is not maintained, so saving/updating is not possible.
Please adjust the quantity of each parcel column and resolve the error before saving.

Save as Draft / Create / Update cannot be executed until input errors are resolved

Input checks are conducted on Required fields in each section and the consistency of the Quantity.
If input errors, such as unentered Required fields or Quantity inconsistencies, remain, the Save as Draft, Create, and Update buttons will be unclickable.

Confirm the contents of the Error Message, correct the Address information, Transaction Terms / Payment Terms, and the consistency between Export Quantity and Packing Quantity, etc., and then perform Save as Draft / Create / Update.
