When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This record is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this record covers has occurred, or is about to
- The workspace is being set up, or the register needs an entry added or retired
- You are running the Trade and Customs Compliance programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links chemical register and export documentation
Not for
- Import Documentation Check, which checks that an inbound international shipment has the documents customs and the regulator will ask for.
- Export Documentation Check, which checks that an outbound international shipment carries the correct classification, certificates and declarations.
- Country of Origin Verification, which verifies and evidences the origin claimed for a material or product, which drives duty, labelling and customer claims.
- Anything outside KnowLogistics, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process
