1 Kewill Customs Update Notes June, 2010

2 Kewill Customs Alliance R07 Patch 2 HotFix 1 Compatible Update Summary Overview The following table lists the changes that have been made to the Kewill Customs software for this Patch. Header The Power of Attorney warning/fatal will now only generate if the Power of Attorney has an expiration date. Previously, if no expiration date existed the error was generated. (Internal ID KC-49) The software will no longer save blank customer reference numbers. Previously, if the user clicked on button and did not add a reference number the software would attempt to add a blank reference number to the database. This led to a null pointer exception error. (Internal ID KC- 244) The Location of Goods text input has been limited to 35 characters; previously it allowed for 38 characters and would cause an error. (Internal ID KC-354) If the Release field on the Header tab page is set to Non ABI the following field information will no longer be required. The Release field indicates the release certification type (e.g., certify Entry Summary, certify Cargo Release, etc.). (Internal ID KC-358) o IRS number o Consignee o Broker Filer o Entry Number The Copy function has been modified so that at the end of the Copy program will automatically calculate duty and fees. Previously, the Copy function did not do this, allowing the user to send the file without duty and fees. (Internal ID KC-373) Entry type 06 (FTZ) will no longer allow input of the Carrier code on the Header. Note that if a SCAC code had been mistakenly entered via the Bills of Lading pop-up, when the user enters the entry type of 06, the SCAC and the Carrier code will be removed. Previously, the software would gray the fields, but not actually remove the values. (Internal IDs KC- 686 & KC-688) When the Currency field is complete and the user clicks on the icon, a search popup will display the valid currency information. Previously, the user would receive the message The application could not find anything in Page 2

3 the search. Please refine and try again. (Internal ID KC-793) Optional Header If the Customer is set up with a Bond type of 9 (SEB), the Optional Header page will now automatically display when the user saves the Header page so the user can input the SEB information. (Internal ID KC- 167) The Address search on the CI Optional Header page will now only display the addresses that are associated with the customer code entered. Previously, it was displaying all addresses for all customers. (Internal ID KC-319) Bills of Lading The Master SCAC code will no longer be disabled immediately upon entering the Bills of Lading screen. The user will now have access to this field, however, if the user enters a MOT that does not require this information the software will clear the SCAC information and disable the field. (Internal ID KC-728) The Port of Lading field will no longer be disabled immediately upon entering the Bills of Lading screen. The user will have access to this field, however, if the user enters a MOT that does not require this information the software will clear the Port of Lading information and disable the field. (Internal ID KC-790) Containers The Size lookup has been modified to now tell the user if no records were found. Previously, the user would click on the icon and receive no information or a comment that no records were found. (Internal ID KC-197) The Container Number screen has been modified to remove containers if their file number is zero. (Internal ID KC-315) Unified Filing The Unified Filing BY role will now allow any address to be used. Previously, it was only allowing for address number 1 (one) to be used. (Internal ID KC-265) The Unified Filing screen has been modified to no longer require the State/Province field to be completed when the Country has no Country Subentity records. (Internal ID KC-267) The Unified Filing screen will now default address 1 (one) for the Customer, previously it was defaulting 0 (zero). (Internal ID KC-673) The field color coding on the Unified Filing screen (e.g., field color orange = warning and red = fatal) have been modified to clear when the user corrects the data. Previously, the color coding would not clear if corrected data was inputted. (Internal ID KC-674) The Unified Filing screen will now set the ISF Include Information field to be based on the Certification method of the shipment. Note: If the certification method on the Header page is changed later (e.g., after the Unified Filing information has been entered), the user will have to manually change the ISF Include Information field on the Unified Filing screen to reflect the change on the Header; it will not be done automatically by the application. (Internal ID KC-718) Page 3

4 (Entry) Invoice Tabbing to value fields has been modified within the software so that now if the user tabs to a value field and hits. (period) the cursor will be in the cents portion of the value. Previously, the cursor would always remain in the dollar portion, requiring the user to click after the decimal to enter only cents. (Internal ID KC-231) The values entered within Classification Assistant Tool in the fields Value and Weight will now be used to calculate the value and weight on the line. Previously, the values were not being calculated. The values entered within CAT are the unit amounts. The program will now calculate that unit amount times the commercial quantity entered to calculate the weight and value for the line. (Internal ID KC-297) If a CAT record is used that has field values in the Value and Weight fields, the program will no longer overwrite them. (Internal ID KC-299) The Unit of Measure UOM field will no longer be enabled. This field will be populated from the tariff maintenance or the Invoice lines for the Customs Reporting quantities, and will no longer allow access. (Internal ID KC-343) Using Parts Plus will no longer result with a Unique Constraint Violated error. (Internal ID KC-378) If a tariff number has been entered within Import Defaults of Customer Maintenance, the program will now default that tariff number into the entry as long as the entry has the same Company/Division number. The exception will be if the tariff number was entered on Division 0 (zero), then that tariff will default on all entries. (Internal ID KC-402) Under the Invoice Lines table the button will now display. Clicking on this button will now display the CI Line Lookup popup. This lookup allows the user to locate a line based on the US Customs Line number for both the Cargo Release and the Entry Summary. (Internal ID KC-220) If Duplicate CI Check of Alliance System Defaults is set to Y, the system will no longer turn every commercial invoice number to a warning on found entries. It will now check for the importer s commercial invoice number on another file. Only if a duplicate exists will it display the warning. Note: A duplicate CI is defined as the same CI number entered for the same importer. (Internal ID KC-456) If the shipment is Certified off the 3461, when the user goes to complete the Entry Summary portion, the software will now inform the user of what SPI codes are available. Previously, only if the shipment was Certified off the Entry Summary would the user be told what SPI codes were available. (Internal ID KC-669) If the user queries a tariff number and clicks on the icon, the software will now recalculate all of the duty and fees on the file. Previously, this did not always occur causing the duty rates and fees to not calculate properly. (Internal ID KC-677) If the shipment is Certified off the 3461 and the user leaves the Country of Page 4

5 Origin on the line blank they will receive a red field color coding with a message that the Country of Origin is required. (Internal ID KC-684) FTZ Priv Status Date has a field color coding validation that will run prior to allowing the user out of the popup. Previously, the validation would run however, even if it failed (example: invalid date) it would allow the user to leave the screen and would accept the invalid date. (Internal ID KC-687) If the user adds an invoice and a tariff, then deletes the tariff and the line, the software will now allow the user to add a new line. Previously, the software would leave the tariff and line tables enabled, however the and were disabled so the user could not add a new line. The only option was to delete the invoice and restart the entry process. (Internal ID KC-724) If the shipment is Certified off the 3461, the OGA column in the Invoice Lines table will now properly display the OGA information. Previously, the information would not display until the user saved the shipment. (Internal ID KC-762) If the user enters a tariff line, clicks for a new line, goes back to the previous line and enters an invalid tariff number and then attempts to click on the new line, the software will not allow access to the new line. The red field color coding will now display in the Tariff Number field and the message Invalid tariff will display. Previously, the software would allow access to the new line and then disable the and fields. This prevented the user from being able to correct the shipment. (Internal ID KC-766) If a tariff search is performed and the user clicks on the OK button without selecting a tariff, the tariff number from the previous line will no longer default into the new line. The tariff number will remain blank. (Internal ID KC-804) On shipments where Primary and Secondary SPI codes are modified and/or removed, the software will save the new values. Previously, when the right arrow to the Send screen was pressed, the previous values were being defaulted back to the Primary and Secondary SPI code fields. (Internal ID KC-815) For tariff numbers that have two IR tax rates and Algorithm method of C, the user must select which rate is based on the alcohol content. The software has been modified to display both rates. The user simply clears the rate they do not wish to use. The software will calculate the taxes based on the selected rate. (Internal ID KC-820) If a tariff number is entered that has expired and the user queries the tariff number, the red field color coding will clear if the tariff is returned with valid dates. Previously, the only way to make a correction was enter another tariff number and then re-enter the queried tariff number. (Internal ID KC-821) Optional Invoice Line The ADD/CVD window has been reformatted to properly show the OK Page 5

6 button. (Internal ID KC-165) If applicable, the Ruling window will now automatically pop-up if the user enters a partial tariff and selects the tariff from the Tariff search screen. Previously, the Ruling window would not display. (Internal ID KC-839) The Ruling window s Begin and End field have been modified to only allow for five characters. Also, the Ruling field has been modified to only allow for six characters. Previously, there was no field limit. If the user entered more than the database allowed for they would receive an error, the Value too large for column.. (Internal ID KC-838) OGA If a tariff number has been entered that is a FD0, the user will no longer be allowed to enter FDA information. The button will be disabled. (Internal ID KC-173) Independent Prior Notice will now send the Producer Firm type properly. Previously, if the user accepted the default it was not being sent to Customs. (Internal ID KC-255) OGA will now be properly sent if the certification method is changed from Certifying off the E/S to Certifying off the C/R. Previously, the OGA would not send with the Cargo Release transaction. (Internal ID KC-288) OGA will now properly send on X/V shipments if the certification method is Certifying off the C/R. Previously, the OGA was not sending on the X record. This is proper for Certifying off the E/S; however, Customs will reject the transaction if Certifying off the C/R and the X record does not have the OGA information. (Internal ID KC-294) OGA Prior Notice confirmation number, if it is sent with a file that certified off the Cargo Release, will now properly display the confirmation number. The confirmation number will be displayed on the Release tab. Previously, the confirmation number only displayed if the shipment was certified off the Entry Summary. (Internal ID KC-252) OGA In-bond Independent Prior Notice notes and confirmation number will now update to the In-bond s notes. Previously, this information was not displaying with the shipment s notes. (Internal ID KC-254) BCS certified entries will no longer double the shipment note for FDA disclaimers. Previously, the system was writing two FDA Disclaimer notes for every one Disclaimer sent. (Internal ID KC-665) Lacey entries were not allowing the user to save. The user would receive the following error org.eclipse.core.databinding.bindingexception and would not be able to complete the shipment. This has been corrected. (Internal ID KC-667) Null Pointer Exceptions have been corrected within the FDA screens. (Internal ID KC-668) Cargo Release Independent Prior Notice has been modified to Page 6

7 accommodate for the TEM affirmation code. (Internal ID KC-727) FDA will now allow the user to input information if a shipment has multiple Bills of Lading. Previously, the and were disabled. (Internal ID KC- 758) Send Breakbulk shipments that are brought into Customs Entry and are Certified off the 3461 will now properly send the Cargo Release transaction. Previously, the release records were not being written so the Cargo Release could not be sent. (Internal ID KC-666) Null Pointer Exceptions have been corrected on the Send tab. (Internal ID KC-681) If the shipment is Certified off the 3461 and Unified filing information has been entered, the system will now allow the user to print the ISF form (e.g., Date 830). (Internal ID KC-711) When a BCS entry is entered and then the Entry Summary is completed, if there are no fatal errors the software will now allow the user to send the file. Previously, the Send to Customs field would not enable. (Internal ID KC-761) On entries with Ruling information where lines are added and deleted, the software will create MPF (if applicable) on the last line. Previously, the last line of the entry did not have MPF (if applicable) being created causing a reject. (Internal ID KC-805) Validations Validation 1780 (AII Transaction does not exist) has been modified to no longer include AII shipments that are Invoice by Request. (Internal ID KC- 259) Validation 310 (Port of Lading must be entered) and 410 (Voyage Flight Number is required) have been modified to now display properly. Previously, they were displaying when they should not be. (Internal ID KC-295) Validation 140 (Entry Prior to Importer/Bond Effective Date) has been modified to use the Presentation Date if one has been entered. (Internal ID KC-380) The Location field will now allow the user to leave it blank; this was done to allow for pre-logging a file. Validation (Location Required) has been created to prevent the user from sending the shipment to Customs without the Location. (Internal ID KC-421) The Exam Location, number of packages and UOM fields will now allow the user to leave them blank; this was done to allow for pre-logging a file. Validations (Examination Location Required) and (Piece Count Required) have been created to prevent the user from sending the shipment to Customs without the Exam Location and/or Number of packages and UOM. (Internal ID KC-447) Page 7

8 Validation 3150 (In-Bond Shipment ID Bill Indicator is required) has been removed. The bill indicator is now being set by the software and not by the user. (Internal ID KC-721) Validation 2205 (Unified Filing Missing Required Commercial Entity) has been modified to now properly clear once the Commercial Entity has been added by the user. (Internal ID KC-759) Validation 580 (Quantity is outside the limits for this Tariff No) has been modified to include the tariff number, line number and commercial invoice number within the error so the user can determine which line is causing the error. (Internal ID KC-767) Search Screens The following search screens have been modified to include more information (Internal ID KC-239): o FDA Establishment Search will now include address information. o Manufacturer ID Search will now include address information. Billing The Customer Notes table has been removed from the Billing screen. It has been made into a pop-up window that can be accessed by clicking on the Customer Notes button which is now next to the Billing Notes button on the Billing tab. This change was made to allow for the charge table to be increased in size so more charges can be viewed at once. If customer notes exist upon creating the invoice or changing the bill-to, the customer notes pop-up will automatically be displayed. (Internal ID KC-37) The Check Date and Number field have been added to the Pre-billing and the Billing screens. (Internal ID KC-168) Billing algorithm 220 (General Order Fee) has been modified to properly calculate. Previously, it would calculate regardless if the shipment was a General Order Warehouse or not. (Internal ID KC-241) Duty Paid Direct will now bill properly. Previously, it was not deducting the Duty Paid Direct from the Duty amount. This was allowing Duty to appear as an open payable when it was not. (Internal ID KC-248) Null Pointer Exceptions that occurred when issuing checks from billing have been corrected. (Internal ID KC-362) Billing will now create an Import Connection record when an invoice is created/saved. This will allow the Customs Entry to go to Internet Tracking. (Internal ID KC-425) The original suffix will not be deleted if the user adds and then deletes an additional bill. Previously, if the original billing suffix was blank and a new suffix was created where the system did not default in a suffix, and then deleted, the original suffix was being deleted as well. (Internal ID KC-430) Null Pointer Exceptions within the Check Cutting/Printing process have been corrected. (Internal IDs KC-441 & KC-463) Page 8

9 The software will no longer default in the value on a second A/P charge that is using the same vendor as the first. Previously, if a check was cut against an A/P charge, the software would always default the amount of the check into the A/P charge, regardless if it had already done it once. (Internal ID KC-462) The timing of saving the invoice records to Billing Work has been corrected. Previously, it was saving the records too early and writing out erroneous records. (Internal ID KC-482) The tabbing order for cost charges has been corrected. Previously, it would skip over the Amount field and go directly to Copies to Print. (Internal ID KC-756) If a cost charge has a check selected to cut against it, the check will now print properly. Previously, the Being Entered field on the Check Trans Header/Detail records was remaining Y. This resulted in the system not allowing the check to print. (Internal ID KC-757) Delivery Order The second D/O message number field will now allow access if the first D/O message number has been completed. Previously, if there was a default value for the first DO message, the second DO message would remain disabled.

(Internal ID KC-261) Tracing The ability to change the font, font size and style has been added to Kewill Customs on the Preference tab.
