MODCHQ - SET UP AND MAINTENANCE Ó UNCTAD – SITE (V1.15) 10.20 How to use action codes Box 37 of the SAD uses the 4-digit ‘Extended Procedure’ and a 3-digit national Additional Code. At the beginning of a suspended procedure The ‘Requested Procedure’ must contain the corresponding action code. If for a ‘Temporary   Export’   one   uses   the   procedure   code   2100,   code   21   in   the requested procedure table should have contain action code 02. At the end of a suspended procedure The ’Previous Procedure’ must also contain the corresponding action code. In the case of a re-export after a temporary import one uses procedure code 3052, in this case ‘Previous Procedure’ 52 must contain action code 05. Why use action codes? Action codes are flags that initialise supplementary processing. Action code 02 in a requested procedure implies: Mandatory capture in box 49 of the SAD; Storage of data in the table SUS_ET_IN when the declaration is assessed. Action code 02 in a previous procedure implies: Capture of the references of the “entry” declaration; Checking of the delay; Verification of the remaining quantity in the table SUS_ET_IN; Writing off of this remaining quantity in the table SUS_ET_IN; Storage of the “out” (exit) information in SUS_ET_OUT. Action code 05 works on tables SUS_IT_IN and SUS_IT_OUT Action code 07 works on tables SUS_WH_IN and SUS_WH_OUT Action code 20 or 50 in a previous or requested procedure implies: Capture of a processing program code; Storage of this code in SAD_GEN under SADITM_RESERVED. For further details on the working of each 'Action' see technical documentation. Extended Procedure Code ‘Extended Procedures’  are the full four digit CPC. As explained under ‘Previous Procedures’, the ‘Extended   Procedure’   is   formed   by   combining   the   ‘Requested   Procedure’   and   the   ‘Previous Procedure’  into  one  number.  If  there  is  no  ‘Previous  Procedure’,  the  code  "00"  is  added  to  the ‘Requested Procedure’ to form the four digit ‘Extended Procedure’ CPC number. Entering   your   ‘Requested   Procedure’   and   then   selecting   from   the   list   of   existing   ‘Previous Procedures’   creates   ‘Extended   Procedure’   codes.   Once   an   ‘Extended   Procedure’   is   created, ‘Additional Codes’ can be attached by updating the ‘Extended Procedure’ record and selected and inserting from the list of existing ‘Additional Codes’. Certain Statistical reports give the choice of nominating a group of procedures to be included in the report,  using  the  ‘General  Trade’  or  ‘Special  Trade’  options.  So  that  ASYCUDA  knows  which Procedures  are  to  be  included  under  each  of  these  options  the  ‘Extended  Procedure’  must  be identified as ‘General Trade’, ‘Special Trade’, or both. Additional Code ‘Additional  Codes’  give  the  opportunity  to  provide  extra  divisions  beyond  the  CPC  four-figure level.   This   can   be   used   for   a   number   of   purposes.   For   example,   it   can   be   used   to   activate Agreements   that   can   link   particular   importers   and   Commodities   to   special   control   or   taxation arrangements. Taxation  Rules  can  be  written  to  make  use  of  recognition  of  the  ‘Additional  Code’  to  modify  an existing rate of tax.
