214 FTZ Admission

The
214 FTZ Admission
 screen can be used to create, modify, and print 214 FTZ Admission Forms and Pro Forma Invoices for foreign receipts and domestic gain receipts entered into the Foreign-Trade Zone. This screen can be opened by choosing
214 FTZ Admission
 from the
Forms
 menu. A separate 214 should be generated for each received product. As part of the admission, you must select the zone status or statuses of the receipt.
If a receipt is split into multiple foreign statuses, two 214 documents will be produced. When a dual status admission is performed, one 214 link will appear for printing of the admission form. However, that one file will contain two separate admission forms for each status.
When foreign materials are received into the zone, create the 214 document prior to interfacing the transaction file from the refinery inventory system containing the receipt transaction for the materials.
Command Buttons
Description
Add Admission
Create a new 214 FTZ Admission form.
Copy Current
If clicked before clicking
Add Admission
,
Copy Current
 creates a new 214 based on the data currently populated on the 214 FTZ Admission screen.
When creating a new 214 FTZ Admission form by copying an existing one, choose an existing 214 with the same crude as the new 214 being created. This will save time by pre-filling the largest amount of data possible.
Create New
A new blank 214 FTZ Admission form will be created for you to complete.
Generate
Creates a printable 214 FTZ Admission form and Pro Forma Invoice for the receipt displayed on the 214 FTZ Admission screen.
All elements on the screen will be verified and saved prior to the creation to the form.
After the form(s) is produced, clicking the report link(s) will open the report(s) in a separate browser tab.
The Pro Forma Invoice contains the same information as the 214 but is printed separately.
If a particular port does not require the submission of a Pro Forma, you will not have to view or print the Pro Forma.
Save
Saves any changes made to the fields on the screen without printing a 214 FTZ Admission form.
Exit
Closes the
214 FTZ Admission
 screen without saving the newly entered data. However, the 214 shell created by clicking
Add Admission
, along with any information that was saved or printed prior to clicking
Exit
, will be retained.

API Calculations

The
Calc
 links automatically calculate weight, volume, and API.
  • If two out of the three elements are filled in, clicking the
    Calc
     link will calculate the missing third element.
  • If all three elements are filled in, clicking the
    Calc
     link will cause the weight field to recalculate based upon the entered Volume and API.
  • If the
    Calc
     link is not clicked, all values will remain the same as entered.
There are separate API calculations by refinery where the formula is the same, but the constant values are different.
To view/update the constant values used in these calculations, refer to the
System Defaults
 section of this Help.
Calculations
Description
Calc Volume
Volume is calculated by using the API Gravity & Weight values as described in the formula below:
Volume in BBLs = (Weight in LBS/42)/{[141.5/(131.5+API Gravity)*API Density of Water]- API Atmospheric Factor}
Calc API
API is calculated by using the Volume & Weight values as described in the formula below:
API Gravity = {141.5/[(Weight in LBS/Volume in BBLS*42)+API Atmospheric Factor]/API Density of Water} – 131.5
Calc Weight
Weight is calculated by using the Volume & API Gravity values as described in the formula below:
Weight in LBS = Volume in BBLS*42*{[141.5/(131.5+API Gravity) * API Density of Water]– API Atmospheric Factor}
Calc Value Per/ Calc Tot Value
This link is used for automatically calculating the estimated value and aggregate charges of a receipt.
After the receipt volume and the
Value Per
 field (containing the value per each volume used in the
Volume
 field) are completed, clicking this link will calculate a value for the
Estimated Value
 field. If there is already a value in the
Estimated Value
 field,
Calc Value Per
 will overwrite it with the calculated value.
After the receipt volume and the
Charges Per
 field (containing the value per each volume used in the
Volume
 field) are completed, clicking this link will calculate a value for the
Aggregate Charges
 field. If there is already a value in the
Aggregate Charges Value
 field,
Calc Value Per
 will overwrite it with the calculated value.
If
Volume, Value Per
, and
Charges Per
 are all filled in, clicking this link will populate the Estimated Value and Aggregate Charges at the same time.
Data Entry Fields
Description
Document Stage
There are four stages in which a 214 may be given at any time. The stage indicated on the
214 FTZ Admission screen
 will print on the bottom of the system-generated 214. The form stage can be changed by selecting a different stage button and clicking

API Calc
 button description.
This field appears in Box 19 of the 214.
Value Per
The purchase price in US Dollars (USD) of the receipt (per barrel) as known at the time of creation of the 214. This field is used to calculate the Estimated Value, which may appear in Box 20.
The entered Value Per Barrel is validated against a configured upper limit, which is defaulted to $60/barrel.
If a Value Per Barrel is larger than this validation ceiling, a warning message will appear on the screen. However, a 214 can be saved with a value exceeding that limit. If this setting needs to be changed, contact Thomson Reuters Support.
This field does not appear on the 214 but does appear in Column D of the Pro Forma.
Charges Per
The aggregate cost in USD (per barrel) of freight, insurance, and all other costs, charges, and expenses incurred in bringing the merchandise from alongside the carrier at the foreign Port of Exportation in the Country of Exportation and placing it alongside the carrier at the first US Port of Entry (Unlading).
This field is used to calculate the Aggregate Charges, which may appear in Box 20 of the 214. The entered
Charges per Barrel
 is validated against a configured upper limit, which is defaulted to $4 per barrel.
If a
Charge per Barrel
 is larger than the validation ceiling, a warning message will appear, but the CBP can be saved with a value exceeding this limit.
If the above setting needs to be changed, contact Thomson Reuters Support. This field does not appear on the 214.

Aggregate charges for a receipt can be entered manually or calculated but must be greater than 0. The only exception to this is if the 214 was created as the result of a monthly reconciliation gain. Aggregate charges also cannot be greater than either the Final Value or the Estimated Value.
For overland shipments (non-air/non-vessel) originating in Canada or Mexico, foreign inland freight will be reported as charges.
This field appears in Box 20 of the 214 (beneath the value and preceded by letters “CHG”. It also appears in the Ocean Freight field on the Pro Forma Invoice.
Status Designation
The desired zone status for the admission.
Check the box next to the desired status(es) for the admission. ONESOURCE FTZ Petro generates the report directly from the 214 Header and Receipt Detail tables.
If the CBP receipts are split into multiple statuses, two detail records are created to match the 214 header information. Admission Number and Status Codes make the detail records unique from the header. Two reports will be generated if the Status Codes were split. No preprocessing is required.
In this instance, there should only be one receipt transaction in the interface file for the total volume of the 214. This one receipt transaction will be matched to the 214 and each status (with the appropriate volume) can be seen on the
Transaction Scrubbing
 screen when the receipt transaction is matched to the 214.
Valid Status Combinations: NPF Only, PF Only, Domestic Only, NPF/PF Combination (see
Percent Allocated
 and >
Volume Allocated
).
Via configuration settings, the options of designating a PF status on a 214 can be turned off. If this is done via the client manager, the PF check box will not be provided as a status designation.
This field appears in Box 16 of the 214. The checked box will also be checked in Box 23 of the 214.
Percent Allocated
  • Allocation to a particular desired status.
    This field does not appear on the 214 but is used to determine the volume listed in Box 19.
  • If multiple status admissions are being applied, entry of the desired percentage to NPF and PF statuses will cause the appropriate
    Volume Allocated
     to be calculated and displayed on the corresponding 214s.
  • If only one status is designated, the percentage of the status must be 100 and the other Status Allocated field must be 0.
Volume Allocated
