A transportation upload batch program converts data received from trading partners into a standard Oracle Retail file format. As additional information is acquired, it can be entered manually. When a transportation record is complete, you can finalize the record. Finalized transportation records are used to automatically create customs entries. The goods can then be tracked as they move through customs.
The Transportation window contains the following sections.
