How do I get started?

Click Get started, then use Proto to configure Bonded Warehouse Mgmt for your business. Begin with a reconciled stock lot, a representative customs entry and a stock request that an independent Inventory Supervisor can review.

What belongs on a bond entry?

Record the customs entry reference, entry date, dutiable value and release reference against the relevant stock request and organization. Keep supporting documents associated with that request so the supervisor can inspect the evidence.

Who decides a submitted entry?

An Inventory Supervisor who did not create the entry checks the current Submitted revision. The action refuses self-decision and stale revisions. The reviewer can approve or reject the entry.

How does the stock release decision differ?

The release decision concerns the parent stock request and its authorized scope. It retains the review rationale and an operation receipt. Entry approval and execution of the stock quantity remain separate outcomes to inspect.

How much stock can be reserved?

The reservation action checks eligible on-hand quantity after active held reservations are deducted. An excessive request produces a Failed receipt with the shortfall instead of creating another hold.

What happens when a request is cancelled?

Inventory Supervisor uses the permitted correction or cancellation action. Held reservations associated with the affected scope are released so the free inventory reflects the change.

How is a posted mistake reversed?

The reversal action posts a compensating movement linked to the original and corrects the lot balance. The original movement remains unchanged. Repeating the reversal returns the existing compensation.

What does a failed verification mean?

The posted movement total did not match the authorized request quantity. The check records a Failed receipt and leaves the request unchanged while Inventory Supervisor investigates the discrepancy.

How do we organize carrier appointments?

Record the carrier and dock details on the load, then use sequenced stops with an appointment and location. Inventory Clerk records the observed progress and any missed stop for the next shift.

Which documents should we bring to the pilot?

Bring the customs and release evidence for the chosen case, plus any relevant certificate or manifest. Agree the source link and confirm that the intended reviewer can open it before starting Implementation.
