This option, available as a toolbar button in the Nature 10/20 screen, lodges the Entry with Customs, without authorising Customs to Debit any money. Only a Customs Broker with an ICS Broker Number in the Users Masterfile can submit a Customs Entry.
The ICS Client Notes will pop up before the submission process begins if the pop up configuration has been set in the Customer Masterfile. It is possible to pre-answer some of the questions based on the User Broker details. Expedient can stop the submission process if Letters of Authority are missing for the Suppliers and the Client for the Entry. If you would like to activate these functions please contact Expedient Software through Support Tracker. If your site has set up Lodgement Authority Levels Expedient will stop the submission process if the Broker does not have the appropriate Authority Level for the Customs Level.
After Customs confirm successful submission an email from Customs will be sent to the Broker who last successfully sent the Entry.
