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.
