RE: US Certificate of Origin

Teresa,

We are adding a line item comment for customers coded as needing Country of
Origin and Unitary Net Weight.  We use a user exit program that Dale made
available and then we modified it for our exact purpose.  This prints on the
pick list and invoice and could print on any MAPICS report just by creating
a record in the file.   Right now we have coded the ITMRVA with country of
origin, however, we have parts we get from multiple vendors and the same
part number  originates in different countries.  Soon we will begin coding a
user field in VENITF with the country of origin for the item per that vendor
and clear the country of origin field in ITMRVA.  We will have to modify our
comment program at that time to pull from a FIFO file we are going to use in
future.  Additionally, we are going to be a Foreign Trade Zone (reason for
the FIFO file) and will have MUCH more customized programming to put in
place.  Is anyone else an FTZ?

The process gets much more confusing because FIFO reporting is ok for FTZ,
but customs needs the exact country of origin on the invoice.  Sooooo, we
will update the comment on the line item at packing time (via user exit
hopefully the user will key in a pop up screen) to have the exact country of
origin.

Subject: US Certificate of Origin

Is anyone exporting items to other countries and having to create US
Certificate of Origin documentation?
Are you typing this info or have you automated with user exit?  If so, how?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
