Declaration API

Because declaration processes are increasingly automated, BzCtrl should provide an API through which external declaration systems can submit declaration information.

The API should be system-neutral.

Potential source systems include:

• SAP;
• Oracle;
• customs management systems;
• customs brokers;
• terminal systems;
• other ERP/WMS systems.

The principle is:

External Declaration System
             │
             │ API
             ▼
      BzCtrl Declaration
             │
             ▼
       Monitoring Engine
             │
             ▼
     Monitoring Overview

The API should allow the source system to provide structured declaration data.

It should also support, where technically appropriate, the original declaration/message so that BzCtrl can retain the source evidence and/or extract the relevant monitoring data.

The source system should provide a unique reference so that duplicate messages can be detected.
