AGS Partner positioning and defaulting

To improve the understanding and the logic applicable different roles within AGS declaration, both Imports and Exports re-positioning and default logic have been changed.

NL Custom Partner Role

The previous logic was that the indicator was to show that the partner could be used in Imports, and the Import field was shown next to the indicator. The new logic is 

Importer

The Importer field only requires to be populated if the importer for this partner, when used as consignee in the shipment, is a different partner. 
so it can remain empty in most cases, counter to the old behavior where it was defaulted by itself.

Acts as Importer

This indicator now means that this partner is allowed to be used as an importer, in the Importer field of an AGS Import declaration, 
Other fields have remained unchanged. 

AGS Imports

The position of the fields Importer and Declarant have changed to provide a more logic display since the settings of all other fields are depended on the partner entered in the Importer field.

To recap the allowed and defaulted combinations we have included the listed schedule below

From Shipment Defaulting

Validation

New PD fields on Customs Partner

For additional defaulting possibilities new fields have been added to the NL Customs Partner Role for Client PD.

These files are: 

Inspection Shed

Previously there was no defaulting available for Inspection Shed, this has been added.

Stakeholder 

The stakeholder is normally defaulted with the declarant (license holder) of the PD declaration, however, the registration if an inspection is allowed at a certain inspection point is determined by
the stakeholder role and can be different from the declarant, so this field will allow for more correct defaulting.
