FTZ Management: Preparation - Inventory Status Change (Transaction Change)

The
Inventory Status Change
 screen can be used to create the necessary transactions to update the current inventory from “
N
” status to “P” status. You will assign these transactions to their own Status Change 214. When this status change 214 is transmitted to CBP, a status change will be transmitted for each underlying admission that these transactions were originally admitted on. If your company has been configured to use the
Inventory Status Change
 screen, it will appear in the Preparation menu.

     transaction should be created for to “P”, and alter the TxnQty as needed.
