Parties
In the dealing with Products, we deal with various Parties in the Supply chain. The Parties involves vary from Customers to Surveyors, but also Consignors and Consignees, or Customers of our Customers to which assets are sub-leased. But it could also be Hence, a generic concept is the registration of Parties of which certain data related to those Parties should be available in the operational process.
For example. When Product is loaded for a destination being another Terminal, a User should be 'bothered' only with specifying the destination/Consignee. In all likelihood, a customs declaration or electronic message is required in which the Consignee must be listed with potentially address details, a 'Tax warehouse reference' and a License reference. This data should be readily available from the parties setup, instead of a User having to specify every single time.
