Operations Management

Foreign Trade ManagementManage exports, imports and Eximbank loans on a file basis

Foreign Trade Management handles export and import transactions on a file basis. Orders, letters of credit, shipments, invoices and costs are linked to the file; for imports, warehouse transfers and cost allocation (import nationalization) are carried out. Eximbank loans, their installments and payments are also tracked in the same module.

Which challenges does Foreign Trade Management address?

  • Foreign trade costs cannot be allocated accurately to product cost.
  • Letter of credit and shipment documents are stored separately from the file.
  • Because Eximbank loan installments are tracked separately, payment dates can be missed.
