Import Letter of credit

hi all,
       i would like to know whether import cycle is mapped into SAP or not, if so
       then how much it is present in SAP and how do we process the same ?
       along with that whether mode of payement - letter of credit in import proces is there in SAP?

Hai,
You can map the Import cycle in SAP. The standard business practices in SAP are
1. Create the Import pricing procedure with all necessary import conditions like customs duty, CVD, Landing cost, handling charges, Freight charges etc. Assign it to the schema group & inturn to Pur. organisation.
2.Create the import vendor master record.Assign the import schema group to this vendor. So that while creating import PO for this venor, the system will determine the import conditions.
3.Create the Import Po with Zero tax code & also with req Payment terms.
4.Enter the Customs vendor against the Customs & CVD conditions. Also maintain Freight vendor against freight conditions in the PO itself.
5.Do the MIRO for Customs vendor. Enter manually all the details in MIRO take the ref as a Bill of entry,
5.Do the MIGO for PO, Capture the excise & post the doc. As per Indian Govt Excise rule, you can take the credit of CVD as Excise.
6.Post the Excise doc.
7.Do the MIRO for material vendor.
8.Clear the Payment.

Import Leter of credit

Hello peers,
can any one tell me the configuration steps for LC process in SAP. pls am struck in middle.
Thanks

Hi,
Import Process Involving a Letter of Credit
You (the importer) first request a quote for the merchandise. This may or may not include transportation and insurance costs.
You prepare a purchase order based on the offer received from the exporter.
The exporter creates a pro forma invoice and sends it to you.
You open a letter of credit with the opening bank in the country of import.
This involves advising the bank of the documents required from the exporter. As an importer, you not only need the documents required by customs, but also the documents that are required by any other agency regulating your commodity. These may include
Bills of lading
Commercial invoice
Export packing list
Shipper's Export Declaration (SED) (Required in the USA for goods valued at $2501 or more)
Shipper's Letter of Instructions (SLI) (applies only to the USA)
Single Administrative Document (SAD) (applies only to the EU)
Certificate of Origin
Insurance certificates
Licenses (when necessary)
Using the SAP FT application, you can create the letter of credit yourself before contacting the opening bank. Other than insurance certificates, you can also create the documents listed above using FT.
The opening bank sends the letter of credit to the advising bank in the exporter's country.
The advising bank advises the exporter that a letter of credit has been opened in his favor.
The exporter ships the merchandise in accordance with the terms stipulated in the letter of credit.
The exporter gives the documents proving that the shipment was made in conformance with the letter of credit to the advising bank.
The advising bank pays the exporter based on the documents received.
The advising bank transfers the documents to the opening bank and receives payment.
The opening bank gives the documents to you (the importer).
You calculate the duty rates, file the declaration with customs and pay the customs duties within the time frame required by law.
Hope this helps you.

Re: Letter of Credit - Imports

Hello,
I want to map the process of letter of credit in case of imports in SAP.
What the process is, we are making an import PO. Bank opens LC in equal to the invoice amount. We have to pay margin money i.e 25percent of invoice amount to the bank, in turn, bank opens the LC of 75percent of invoice amount. We are capturing the payment of margin money at 25percent in SAP.
The point is, bank is giving the facility of 75percent for 90 days. I dont know how to map this scenario in SAP?

Letter of credit functionality for imports

Hi Experts
W.r.t FT, the financial document can be used as LC.
1) Is it possible to use this LC (Financial doc- Transaction VX11N) for linking the import purchase order?
2) Is there any standard functionality to monitor the import purchase orders which involve Letter of credit?
3) Is there any userexit to enhance the existing VX11N to make use for import purchase order?
warm regards
marias

Hello Marias,
I regret to inform you that the functionality you request is not
implemented in the standard system within the Foriegn trade area.
" The documentary payment functionality (Letter of Credit) for vendors
is not available in SAP Standard System.
Documentary payments can only be created on the SD side for customer
but not for vendors.
At this time, there is no plan to develop this functionality. "
Please note that the Foriegn Trade functionality has been expanded and
is available in the solution product "Global Trade Services" (GTS).
As you are probably already aware information on GTS is available in SAP
Service Marketplace.

Alex

How to deal with Letter of Credit in Oracle Payables ??

In case of letter of credit, an 100% advance payment is done to bank, Bank charges its commission,
The letter of credit is for goods imported which is part of inventory. As standard practices of finance, exchange gain/loss and expenses incurred to bring the inventory to its present location and conditions should form part of inventory cost.
This cost are not known at the time of PO, so only purchase price is ascertain.
How to track custom duty paid, insurance, freight, and cargo handling expenses incurred on material.
All this cost should be charged to item and according unit cost should be adjusted.

Well, when are these other costs known? Perhaps you do not know them until you get the invoice from the supplier? Are you then doing match to invoice (either match to PO or match to receipt?)? What version of EBS are you on? My initial off the top of my head though is that when you match the invoice to receipt, the quantity amount should match, but the cost amount would be higher, by the amount of these extra costs. So you would have to be sure you don't have any match tolerance that would prevent such a match. That would get the entire cost charged to inventory, and the unit cost on that invoice is Cost Amount / Quantity. Without knowing anything about your inventory setup, not sure how that would impact you.
Of course, if any of my assumptions are wrong, then my thinking will be wrong. Thus would be helpful to supply additional information about your situation.

Letter of Credit (Urgent )

Hi All,
I needed to know if anyone has worked on letter of credit or have dealt with payment gurantee procedure configuration.
Define and Assign forms of payment guarantee has 5 different configs. First one, Define payment guarantee schema - This part of this configuration controls the sequence in which system assign the sales document ITEMS to payment guarantee procedure. I want to know where actually we can see these sequences happening. I looked at the sales order (at the item level) but system is only picking payment guarantee procedure and form of payment gurantee. I don't see any sequecial order in which I set the config.
Any input will be great!

Letter of Credit charges

Dear colleagues:
We are about to implement the u201CRisk Management u2013 Letter of Credit Processingu201D functionality (from the importeru2019s view). As an importer we need to assign some other charges to the LC (e.g. custom expenses), with various due dates. These expenses should update cash management. I suppose this connection between LC and other expenses must occur in the purchase order. If yes, please inform me how we implement it. If no, please inform me with the correct solution. We use version ECC 6.0
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I beleive that, the Letter of Credit Processing is out of SAP Scope as of now.
All LC Charges you have to post manually or Z Object / Customiged Object to be developed for tracking the LC Expences and those values to be used for manual FI JV.
