A dependable TSS pipeline looks the same across most stacks.
Stage 1: Ingest
Pick up supplier invoices, packing lists and transport documents from email, SFTP or a shared drive. Normalise into a single schema before anything else runs.
Stage 2: Enrich
Look up party data, commodity codes and licences from your master data. If the tool cannot reach your ERP, half the value is gone. For a broader map of the workflow, this TSS software workflow reference is useful.
Stage 3: Validate
Commodity code exists, currency and digit count are correct, document codes reconcile with tariff requirements, mass and package counts agree with the invoice.
Stage 4: Submit
Programmatic submission with idempotent retries and clear correlation IDs back to the source document.
Stage 5: Handle exceptions
Failures route to the right person with enough context to fix them, not just a raw error code.
Stage 6: Audit
Every step, every change, every submission timestamped and exportable.
