and import controls
Export
processing
A complete set of functions covers the entire export process
including: accepting goods, confirming them on board, closing out a flight
and performing export clearances as required for a variety of customs authorities.
They allow you to display all air waybills currently on a flight or in a
location regardless of routing or status and identify those ready for onload
or offload or by origin, destination, carrier code or sales office.
You can simplify handling and processing for consolidations because the modules
automatically maintaining relationships between the airline's master air
waybill (MAWB) used to transport consolidations of multiple shipments and
the forwarder's house air waybills (HAWB), the legal documents needed for
transport, customs clearance and release.
When freight on one air waybill is split among several flights or several
locations, CHAMP lets you manage the split shipments, track each one and
reconsolidate them downline. You can also load large shipments onto multiple
ULD's, retaining locations for all the splits and reconsolidate them later.
If goods must be transferred to another flight for operational reasons, you
can assign the air waybills to the new flight, automatically updating both
flight manifests and informing handlers and downline stations which freight
to transfer and which incoming flights to process.
After a flight has been loaded, you can confirm those shipments actually
on board and automatically send data to accounting for revenue control. Closing
out a flight updates the status of its air waybills. You can manually change
the status of shipments assigned to a flight into shipments confirmed on
board.
You can produce cargo manifests in any format and sort order required by
customs authorities or your own operational practices and create them for
a flight onload, a unit load device (ULD), an air waybill or a particular
consignee.
Import processing
Various functions govern import processing from flight arrival
to final delivery and perform import clearances as required for a variety
of customs authorities.
Upon flight arrival you can assign inbound air waybills to an import warehouse.
Assign those in transit to an export warehouse or to a specific outbound
flight. Air waybills that did not arrive default to exception status and
await appropriate action. Split shipments records serve as work orders to
reconsolidate them during offload.
In the event of damage or shortages, you can enter exceptions into the delivery
record of an air waybill or house air waybill. Once the delivery information
is entered, and the carrier's legal custody over the shipment ends, the record,
or the delivered part in the case of an exception, is removed from its assignment
in a warehouse, location or flight.
CHAMP modules will also generate freight arrival notices to alert consignees
for pickup and notify customs authorities that you have met the legal and
fiscal requirements for transshipping cargo through an airport.
