Creating and editing consignment profiles and transitions

You can generate customs declarations for different customs processes from consignments by means of “transitions”. The configuration for transitions is included in the consignment profiles. In a consignment profile, you can define the country for which a customs declaration is to be generated, whether a certain event in a customs process is to trigger another process (event automation), and if the transaction is to be sent automatically, for example. By defining conditions and exceptions, you can further specify the rules for applying a transition. The identifier of the consignment profile to be applied is imported from the host system together with the consignment data.
