Direct Import Overview

Direct Import (DI) is very date sensitive. Some customers issue fines for late documents. Processing timely is a must.
The cargo ready date (CRD) should be used as a guide.
DI Purchasing is currently responsible for entering and maintaining the orders and dates.
The DI dashboard quick links direct the flow of your work and should be reviewed daily.
Although most processes are customer-specific, a general overall process is followed.
When vendor documents are received, freight forwarder (FF) documents are created and the sales order is fulfilled.
The FF will issue an original FCR to the vendor and the vendor will send to Advantus.
When the FCR is received, the bank/customer documents are sent for payment.
