To use a credit account, the credit account code is entered in box 48 of the SAD (the Deferred
payment box). The system verifies that the code is valid for the declarant or company code, as
entered in boxes 8 and 14 of the declaration and if acceptable, the system prompts a small window
for input of the secret code. If the account code is not in agreement with the code in box 8 or box 14
an error message will be displayed and processing will be suspended until there is agreement.
If the secret code for the account is valid, declaration processing can continue as normal. When
either Customs or Declarant requests assessment the system checks the calculated duties against
the credit balance.
If the amount of credit is sufficient to cover the duties, the declaration can be assessed. However, if
the balance is insufficient, processing will be suspended until the account number is changed or
deleted from box 48. If there is insufficient credit balance in the account registration or assessment
is not possible.
Section 3 of this Reference Document gives more detail on preparing and
processing Declarations.
Reporting on Pre-Payment Account Transactions
A receipt can be printed at the time a cash deposit is credited to the Pre-Payment account. Copies
of pay-in receipts are available through menu option Functions, Print/Query, Receipt, Pre-
Payment.
A report option Functions, Print/Query, Account, Account summary lists details of
transactions for an account. See Account Summary for details.
Accounting Prints and Queries
The accounting module has a number of query and reporting options, for extracting copies of
receipts for payments, to list unpaid declarations and to produce a summary of transactions on
credit and Pre-Payment accounts.
The queries and reporting formats given as standard by UNCTAD will not meet
the needs of all countries. Tools and utilities provided with the ASYCUDA
system can be used to generate and print accounting reports to your specific
requirements. See the technical documentation for more information.
Receipt
This menu option provides copies of payment receipts.
To display and print any receipt, select Print/Query, Receipt, log in to the server and enter the
following to retrieve the receipt: -
· The receipt series character, eg. "R";
· The receipt number; and
· The receipt date.
Receipt numbers and dates can be retrieved from lists of paid declarations and account
summaries.
Screen displays of declarations are available through Print/Query options
within modules MODCBR and MODSEL, and account summaries from within
this module see Account Summary for details.
