Legal Document Formats
Similar to document formats for shippers and master bills of lading, document formats for legal documents also identify special processing and printing requirements. Specific information in a legal document is usually related to whether the document supports an issuing transaction or a receiving transaction and depends on detailed local legal requirements.
A combination of the following factors determines the exact print output of a legal document:
• Transaction type
• Inventory movement code (transaction flow)
• Legal document form code identifying country-specific document formats
The following diagram illustrates the above-mentioned three elements as the input and the legal document in a particular format as the output.
Legal Document Format
Since legal document content, format, and layout vary by country and sometimes by company, the system provides a number of country-specific legal document templates that can be readily tailored to meet unique customer-specific formatting and printing requirements.
Currently, QAD provides legal document templates for these countries: Brazil, Poland, Chile, Argentina, Turkey, and Thailand.
