'Transaction Supervision' gives a useful research and monitoring tool that can be  effectively  used  within  a  National  System  using  selectivity  as  a  method  of Customs control. Sections and Examiners Management Overview The system can be set up to automatically assign a declaration to a particular area of work or an individual Examination Officer (Examiner). This assignment is done according to preset parameters such as individual workload, examiner availability and the area where the declaration needs to be inspected. There are comprehensive reports that can be used to control the work of Examiners and Chief Examiners. The  area  of  work  is  known  in  ASYCUDA++  as  the  Section.  A  Section  can  be  defined  as  one complete   work   unit   for   verification,   which   has   at   least   one   Chief   Examiner   and   a   group   of Examiners. An examiner can be part of several sections as can a Chief Examiner. Creation of Sections for examination of goods will be for the office that you are currently configured for. See Section 9 of this Reference Document, for details on office configuration. Any Examiners attached to a Section are for the current office.   Furthermore,   any   locations   of   goods   linked   to   a   Section   are   for   the current office as well. If  there  are  several  Transit  Sheds  controlled  by  the  office,  there  may  be  a  Chief  Examiner  and  a group of Examiners attached to each Shed.  On the other hand a Shed may be so big that it is sub- divided into several sections or so small that several Sheds can be grouped in one Section. In some cases the Section is not linked to a physical location at all but to different procedures or classifications of goods. For example, one Section may deal with all Home Use Import declarations while   another   deals   with   Warehouse   declarations.   Sections   may   be   defined   where   specialist knowledge of particular Commodities is required, for example, chemicals or motor vehicles. In such cases, a single Section may cover several Warehouses or Sheds. When a declaration is selected by the selectivity system and Section allocation is active, a criterion will allocate the declaration to a Section. If in addition, automatic assignment of examiners is active, then an Examiner and a Chief Examiner will be assigned to the declaration by the system. This will only occur if the declaration is selected Red or Yellow. Stand by Green and Blue declarations are not automatically allocated. The automatic assignment of Examiner is made according to the availability, accumulated workload and variety (e.g. one Examiner should not always deal with declarations from the same declarant). The Chief Examiner has access to the list of selected declarations related to his section and can re- assign any declaration as necessary to another Section or Examiner. Sections Automatic  assignment  of  Sections  is  possible  even  if  automatic  assignment  of  Examiners  is  not desired. You may wish to have the list of selected declarations allocated to Sections without having the  declaration  selected  to  any  Examiner.  The  reverse  is  not  true.  It  is  not  possible  to  use  the Examiners system if Sections are not activated.
