Deliverance, ediEnterprise and Scope CMR Upgrades

This announcement informs our Australian Deliverance, ediEnterprise and Scope clients as to the availability of our CMR functionality.

Customers using ediEnterprise

ediEnterprise contains all the changes for CMR. These changes will be visible in ediEnterprise from the 3rd of October 2005 (Versions post 3rd October 2005). Most functionality has been maintained between the legacy system and the CMR system with functional variation and data as required by the CMR design.

ediEnterprise software upgrades will be released to customers as required and available for user installation in the normal ediEnterprise manner.

For more information on how to upgrade ediEnterprise, please download the following file from our website http://www.edi.com.au/Documents/HowtoUpgradeediEnterpriseSoftware.pdf

Customers using Deliverance

Deliverance contains changes for the CMR Declaration and links to allow Cargo Reporting for both Sea and Air. These changes will be visible in Deliverance from the 3rd of October 2005. Deliverance customers will need an upgrade of Deliverance which will be sent over the weekend for application on the 3rd to allow both legacy and CMR Customs Entries and links to the Cargo Reporting for both Sea and Air. Most Customs Declaration functionality has been maintained between the legacy system and the CMR systems with functional variation and data as required by the CMR design.

Customers using Scope

Scope clients have generally been upgraded and should have access to the CMR capabilities as required. There are a few clients that will still require upgrades due to remote access not being readily available.

All Customers

In general, there are still late developing issues, fixes from Customs and a number of training and management issues that will require us all to work collaboratively together – however, despite the shortness of time and the complex transition issues, we are confident on our software being ready for your business needs from the 3rd of October 2005.

We will also be providing more detailed electronic training documentation and a number of electronic communications (via email) to assist clients with the transition – and we remain on alert for any late breaking issues, changes or CMR problems. We are committed to reacting with speed and focus to address any issues.

Kind regards
Richard White, CEO

ICS User Rep

The ICS User Representative, Mr Paul Zalai, has created a comprehensive, step-by-step presentation with voice over commentary to provide industry members with clear instructions as to the process for handling their DCs. This presentation, which is aimed at Authorised Officers as well as the actual users of the digital certificates, provides vital information on the following key areas:

· Purchasing your DC

· The authorisation of DC users

· The downloading of signing and encryption certificates

· The creation and export of the .cer file for registration purposes

· The registration of the user in the Customs Connect Facility (CCF)

· Entry into the Customs Interactive (CI)

The presentation will run using an advanced virtual classroom technology so members may need to install software to run the presentation. This software is provided without charge by the CBFCA and simply needs to be downloaded to your computer by following the prompts.
