# Outbound DDS

> Due Diligence Statements for outbound orders and domestic production

## Overview

The **DDS → Outbound** page manages Due Diligence Statements for outbound goods. This primarily concerns **domestic production** within the EU as well as sales orders that are covered through traceability, BOM linking, and existing evidence.

The page displays two sections:

1. **Orders without a DDS reference** — Sales orders that are not yet assigned to a DDS
2. **Domestic production Due Diligence Statements** — Overview of the DDS created for your own production

## DDS for Domestic Production

<Info>
  With **domestic production**, you are the producer yourself. Sales orders automatically use your own company as the supplier in this case.

  <Step title="Create a DDS">
    Create a new DDS by clicking **Create**. The activity type is then automatically set to **Domestic Production**.

  <Step title="Specify articles & quantities">
    Select your sales articles and enter the produced quantities in kg.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirmation & submission">

</Steps>

### Assigning a DDS to Orders

1. Navigate to the orders without a DDS reference.

## Related Features on the Outbound Dashboard

The **EU production information** ("I produce this") and the **linking of input articles (bill of materials / BOM)** are not located on this DDS page, but on the separate **Outbound dashboard** (menu item **Outbound** under *Compliance*):

* **I produce this** — store the production country and production area (draw on the map or upload GeoJSON) and create a DDS for domestic production directly.
* **Link Inputs** — link purchase articles as the input of a sales article; linked DDS (including external DDS) are automatically taken into account for outbound traceability.
