A new module has been created in BBS Accounting to enable users to facilitate the import of goods from overseas suppliers. This module allows users to create purchase orders in overseas currencies, make pre-payments for goods and import costs in an overseas or local currency, and to create Overseas Import Shipments to calculate the landing costs for imported goods.

 

The details on how this module works can be found in the Managing Overseas Import Shipments Quick Reference Guide topic.
