For a trading business, margin is decided before the goods arrive: freight, duty, storage and inland transport either fit inside the selling price or they do not. A system that only records the sale leaves the most important number out.
Trading businesses lose margin in three places: freight and duty quoted before the shipment but settled after it, currency movement between order and payment, and receivables that age faster than anyone notices. Each needs to be visible per consignment, not per month.
The trading module is built around the consignment, because that is the unit the business actually manages.
Customs documentation varies by country and by product category, and getting a field wrong delays the shipment. The system generates the document set from the consignment record so the same data is not typed twice.
A trading operation with one currency and one corridor usually goes live in four to six weeks. Multi-currency and multi-corridor operations take longer because the settlement rules multiply.
Yes. Freight, duty and storage are recorded per consignment as they are quoted, so an estimated landed cost and margin are visible at order confirmation, with actual amounts reconciled once incurred.
Each transaction stores the rate used and its source. Reports can be produced in the reporting currency with the original amounts retained, so a margin figure can always be traced back to the rate it was calculated with.
Commercial invoices, packing lists and the supporting document set are generated from the consignment record and archived per shipment. Requirements differ by country, so the field set is confirmed during the requirement phase.
