MODCAR - MANIFESTS IN ASYCUDA++ Ó UNCTAD – SITE (V1.15) 5.22 The   weight   or   the   number   of   packages   of   the   item   on   the   declaration   can   be   reduced. The bill of lading will now become partially written-off. This is a two-stage process. Firstly the weight or  number  of  packages  is   adjusted  and  brought  back  to  the  original  amount  and  secondly  this value is decreased by the amount specified in the post-entry. This is illustrated in the box below, which is taken from the  ‘Bill of Lading’ screen, ‘ Local Menu’, ‘View Write-Off’. The Declaration Post-Entry ‘Adjust’ and ‘Modification’ come from the same action of carrying out the post-entry modification. In   this   example,   the   user   has   captured   7   packages   in   the   post-entry   and   so   the   number   of packages is reduced to 3.

This is illustrated in the box below, (from ‘F9 Local Menu’, ‘View Write-Off’  option from the Bill of Lading screen). In the last line, you can see that the number of packages has been brought back to its original value after the declaration was cancelled post-entry.

The configuration, the system parameters for each office, is set separately for each office according to the task requirement of that particular office. The link between  MODCAR, MODCBR  and MODBRK  is  set  by  switching  the  Manifest  option  to ‘YES’,   ‘NO’    or    ‘Learning   mode’.    See    Section    9    of    this    Reference    Document    ‘System Parameters’ for further details. Manifest Learning mode When the Manifest configuration for a Customs office is set to  ‘Learning mode’ a declaration can be assessed even if the Manifest does not exist. This can be useful in situations where the Manifest is not available when assessing a declaration. If you capture a Manifest reference which does not exist, and attempt to assess the declaration, a message will appear indicating that the Manifest or Bill of Lading does not exist:  “Manifest failure, do you still want to assess?”. If you press  ‘YES’, the declaration will then take the status “ASSESSED NO MANIFEST”.
