Export Document Processing Made Easier with SAP Business One
Following the process laid down by the GOI and complying with all documentation is an inherent business function for any export house.
As per the established process, there are a bunch of documents required with every export consignment like common export documents, transportation documents, export compliance documents, certificates of origin, other certificates for shipments of specific goods, other export-related documents, and temporary shipment documents. Not just this, every company that exports goods also has to plan the shipment with respect to a container whether it is FCL or LCL etc.
Many export houses in India in the SME sector rely on niche software applications that cater to the export documentation alone. Whereas such applications are aligned to the basic documentation needs, they are rarely integrated with actual operational data and are susceptible to manual error. In such scenario companies rely on a large team that is responsible for creation, verification, making corrections, reverification etc. There is a significant manual effort needed to coordinate with various departments in the company that provide critical inputs to such documentation.
Praxis has developed an add-on solution within the SAP Business One application. This solution addresses several pain points with respect to export container planning and documentation processes. Highlights of the solution are as follows:
- Tightly integrated with operational transactional data
- Information captured at the time of booking a sales order contains all relevant data with respect to the downstream shipments expected
- All export documentation generated from SAP system itself. Some prominent examples of such documents are:
- Internal/Proforma Invoice

- Bill of lading draft document with all relevant details
- Annexure C Factory Stuffing
- Application for Certificate of origin under INKCEPA
- New India-Korea CEPA
- Examination Report (EOU)

- New ICA
- Helps in planning a container – takes inputs from multiple sales orders that contain LCL shipment quantities
