Country of License Determination

Hi,
I have quick question on the "Country of Departure/Destination" for license determination
What I understand is
Country Combination with ECCN for License Determination - Standard functionality GTS application.
1.ECCN + Country of Destination -> Exports - Sales Orders
I Understand that country of destination maintained in License will be compared with country of Ship-to Party(customer), Is this correct?
2. ECCN + Country Of Departure -> Imports - Purchase Orders
I Understand that country of Departure maintained in License will be compared with country of Ship-from Party(Vendor), Is this correct?
Thanks,

hi,
generally you are right but also consider the following info:
Partner Group for Determining Country of Destination: The country of
departure/destination of the export is used on the basis of the partner
function contained in the document and in this partner grouping. The
first partner function which is contained in both the document and the
partner grouping is used. No further partner functions are checked.
Example:
The partner grouping contains the partner functions end customer and
ship-to party. Assuming the document to be checked does not have an end
customer, the country of the ship-to party is taken to be the country
of destination for accessing the license type determination procedure.
If you have an import process, make sure that you have a vendor and it is assigned to the supplying plant for license determination.

Problem with License determination

Hi,
I have just setup license determination strategy as per the config guide. But, in the cockpit -> Legal COntrol Exports -> Maintain License determination strategy, Isee only 2 tabs(small views) 1.Legal regulation and 2. License Types
Where are other tabs(views) like ECCN and Countries, what is the config which will enable to bring windows on to maintain license determination strategy.
And also I am even unable to see even Combo/ListBox below these views, with options like
1. Country/Control Clss
2. Country group / Control Classs...etc.
Where in config I have to set to see all this
Thanks,

Hello Denise:
For NLR license determination, I have created category "E" and maintained EAR99 as ECCN for the group.
And then assigned ECCN "EAR99" to the license type NLR and also products to that license
This is the way for NLR license determination.
Hope this helps.
let me know you approach in detail if different from the one I said
Thanks

Multi partner License Determination Capability in GTS

Hi,
For export license determination, we have business avaibale based on the combination of ECCN and Country of Destination
Destination country being either ship-to partner country or ultimate destination country in order of preference specified in partner function sequence.
But, I am looking for a functionality that license determination check should carried out for both partner functions.
1. ECCN and Ultimate partner country AND
2. ECCN and Ship-to Party partner Country for a single sales order.
Does anybody come across such situation/requirement in business which is a real time scenario.
Can anybody guide me on this front as how to achieve this eithwe by some enhancement etc, of config setting in GTS system
Any guidance on this is appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Venkat:
Thanks for response.
I have also seen in the SAP documentation, but it says that if the license is found for the first partner function in the group then it will not check the later one.
But, in my case the sales document has 2 partner functions in the group and as well as document, but it executes for only one, then my requirement is not fulfilled.
Actually, I will generate rules for both partner countries and both should be determined (Ultimate consignee ctry and Ship-to ctry) if the license determination rules is not found even for one then it should block.
It has to check for both license rules.this is my requirement.
Thanks in advance,

License Determination for Sales Return process

Hello SAP GTS Experts,
We have a situation, where we need to create Return sales from Customer &
in the same Return order, we will send the repalcement product to Customer.
In this case, good movement type 653 (return sales) & 601 (Delivery to customer)
will be used.
Can any one help to map this process under Compliance for License determination.
Logically, for Return item, Import License should be picked & for replacement item
Export License under Legal Control.
Need your suggestons to map this process for License determination.
Similarly, we need to think about Subcontracting process in MM, & relevant license
determinaton.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Mayank

Thanks for your Reply Dave.
Requirement is for Country Sweden. Currently Whenever return sales order is created in ECC, system looks for Export License in GTS. As per Goods movements (653) Logic, Import License should be determined here.
Let me explain you the process in Details-- For Repair/Services Process, these return sales orders are created. Here again there are 2 possible scenarioes:-
1. We can return the faulty Item (Movement Type 653) & provide Repalcement product (MT 601) to customer .
2. Return Sales order will be created (MT 653) & Faulty Item will be sent back to Vendor for repair (Using Return PO process, Movement Type 161).
Business wants us to provide Solution for Determining Valid Licenses (export/import) depending upon the situation.
Here We have Bigger challange when the Return Sales order has Both type of Items (Mention in Scenario#1).
Are you sure , there is NO Need of Licenses for replacement/rejection Process??
Please Let me know Your Inputs.

Mayank

Upload License Determination Strategy

Hello,
Does anyone has experience with the upload of license determination strategy? How does this work? Where can I find the appropriate XML structure which is used by the upload program?
Thanks
Regrds
Frank

You may want to first consider how many license determination strategy records you really need. At one client, they had over 40,000 determination records loaded. I reduced this to 8, with no impact on their license determination results, but with a great impact on the ease of use and ongoing maintenance. The simple solution is the best here and can support every country's regulations.
If you do still want to explore uploading strategy records via XML, the only company I know working on this is our partner MK Data Services.

License Determination

Hi,
I have just started working in SAP GTS
Can you please tell me that how License Determination is done for a material?
I am getting this error while creating Delivery in ECC that license determination is not done in GTS.
Thanks
Neha

Hi,
Licence Determination is one of the Compliance Check provided by GTS System.
For example in your export process.
Whenever you create a sales order(export document) in feeder system ECC, the GTS (host system) first checks whether the product you are selling requires a licence and if so you need to maintain licences in the system for such product categories which you get from the custom authorities. This goods which are subjected to license legal regulation are Civil & Military (dual use goods).
For this, you need to define legal regulations and classify products and configure/setupo for license determination process.
better..you study GTS help on SAP site..A bit long way to go, you can't just figure out like this.

Chakri

License Determination in GTS

Hi,
I am trying to configure License determination in GTS system. While I am using SAP configuration guide and Online Help links,I get to know that I need to start with configuring the numbering Schemes.
I am stuck at finding the transaction for "Assign Numbering Scheme of Exp List for License Maintenance", which is the second step in configuration.
Can anyone please provide me link to or any information on how should I proceed.
Regards,
Madhav

Hi Madhav,
The path changed over the versions. Try this IMGpath:
Global Trade Services
General Settings
Numbering Schemes
Assign Numbering Schemes to Legal Regulations of the Application Areas
There you can assign the Numbering Schemes for the different purposes.
Hope that helps.

Dave

License Determination for Imports

Hello All,
We would like to implement a License Determination Strategy for imports. I have not tried it yet, because I am still awaiting final specifications from the user department. But before I can tell them, that we can do this in GTS, I was hoping to find out if anyone has been successful implementing.
Any thoughts, comments or actual experience out there?
Regards, Dean

Dean, you absolutely can use GTS to cover that for you. Creating the legal regulation itself is no different then anything else you already have for export.
The main differences for import are when you create the numbering scheme, you will want to use the create for Import lists instead of create for Export lists, and then when you create the determination strategies as well - you'll want to set the codes up as ICCN's for import in the Classification/Master Data area of Comp Management. From there maintaining the strategy(ies) are the exact same as they would be for import, only again you'd be using Legal Control - Import as opposed to export.
Hopefully that helps a bit, I know I was pretty breif in the description. Do let me know if it helps though or if you have any other questions!

Export License Determination for Non R/3 systems

Hi Experts,
We have a non-R/3 system from where sales orders are created and sent to GTS for License Determination. We have developed an interface to load required details to create export declarations.
We would like to determine export license for the documents created in GTS. We have done all the settings required for License Determination but, still not able to determine license automatically.
Can anyone advise is it possible to determine license without r/3 feed? If it is possible, what could be the additional check we have to do.
Thanks,
Sudheer

Thanks for your reply..
The settings which i done was determining license perfectly when the export declaration documents are created with reference to R/3 documents (proforma invoice from R/3.
I am looking for manually created document only in GTS, how can we determine export license. Is it possible to determine export license?
Thanks,
Sudheer.

License Determination - Country Group

Hi All,
I have a business requirement to restrict the export of specific materials to specific country groups. If I'm attempting to export a material to one of those restricted countries, it will block because a license master will need to be created. This is pretty straight-forward.
For the countries that aren't maintained in the country group, I'm receiving the "Blocked (Determination)" popup. I need to understand how to route the countries that aren't in the country group to a "No License Required" License Type.
For example:
Material 1234567 cannot ship to US, CA or MX (we'll call this country group NORTH_AM) but it can go to any other country in the world.
I would maintain a 'country group/control class' determination strategy entry for the legal reg + country group + ECCN + license type.
Do any of you have experience with this?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
You can create a new Legal regulation- LR1. As you need this scenario to be applicable only for exporting country BE.
Please make sure your determination procedure has a strategy Country/Country group level.
Now under Define legal regulations- Make sure you add your country group ZGRP1.
Under SAP GTS->General Settings->Legal Regulations->Activate legal regulations at Country/Country Group level. Activate your legal regulation in the following way.
Under BE-> Create ZGRP1 row
Under Compliance Mgt- Legal Control-Activate Legal regulations. Please keep it as shown below
Not activated at higher level
Activate it in sub-level.
The other settings such as assigning Numbering schemes for ECCN and License should be done for this Legal regulation.
You need to classify your product for this legal regulation.
You can define one license type which will be used for exporting this product to RU, CN and TN.
Maintain determination strategy only for this combination LR1+ZGRP1+ECCN+License type
So, this way when there is a Sales order exporting your product from BE to RU/CN/TN- Legal regulation LR1 gets activated and system will start looking for a License to ship products to RU/CN/TN. If not, the document is going to be blocked.
If the SO is exporting your product from BE to any other countries- legal regulation LR1 will not be determined at all. So no block.
This can be just another way to achieve your requirement to block Shipping only to RU/CN/TN and not to any other country. You might feel the earlier way of just creating a new license type NLR will be easy. I am not sure if you are achieving this with a legal regulation that you have already. But if you are anyways creating a new legal regulation already, you may give this new option a try in your sandbox.
Hope this helps. If you feel, I had misunderstood your request please feel free to comment

License determination- Unable to determine currency and UoM

Hi Team,
I created a license in SAP GTS, value and quantity depreciation required. System determining license but not depreciating the value
and giving error " Unable to determine factor for converting from currency USD to currency " . This error i am getting in sales order level. I am assign it
manually and value depreciating but the same error i am getting in Uom in delivery level also. i have done setting of Spot(M) exchage rate for license type. the value also maintained in feeder system side.Which configuraion i am missing, some body can help
Regards,
Ramji

Hi Ramji,
What you're saying doesn't make much sense to me. The currencies must be different, otherwise you wouldn't be seeing that error.
If you have some knowledge of ABAP, or if you have a developer available, you can debug to hopefully find the cause of the problem, since that error message is only used in 2 places.
Set a break-point in these two places:
In Function Module /SAPSLL/LCLIC_VALUE_CHECK, around line 40
In program /SAPSLL/LLCLIC_INTACTF61, around line 505
Now repeat the transaction, and see what is being passed for conversion (currencies and Exchange Rate Type). That should give you some clues - perhaps you can share with us?

Software Vendors screw their customers and the country w/ licensing schemes

So AppForge and XtendConnect got bought out and the customers are again left customers holding the bag. Now we have IT solutions that would work in a technical sense but will soon fail because of licensing difficulties. The real problem here is, our business got sucked into actually depending upon technology. We continue to allow vendors to write the rules in their favor and at our expense. Licensing does nothing for me, the customer, but thanks for offering. No such choice, however!
Yet another risk of using COTS over internal development. These various licensing schemes only serve the vendors and leave their customers to clean up the mess once the vendor sells out. Imagine a world once the crack-pot vision of SOA is implemented. Any complex system will depend on a host of services owned by a variety of vendors spread across geography, each going belly-up or merging with another vendor, or constantly changing its licensing arrangements in a constant chase for the next buck. Nothing will ever work again for anyone two days in a row. It is already a monumental task keeping up with all the various licensing arrangements and renewals even on a good day.
Imagine the day your car won't even start because the license expired for the electronic ignition. Will you have to junk your car? This is not far fetched! I have a true story about an HVAC company down the road that had to scrap its entire manufacturing facility because the software used to run it expired and the software company went belly up. Too expensive to write their own software. Not very "green" either. Thank goodness our mechanical and electronic engineers (true engineers) did not do this to the country. It took short-sighted software vendors to bring us down.
Where have all the CIO's gone in all this? This is an important subject to address that effects all major corporations and Gov't. Likely, to their next higher paycheck. Actually doing something about a problem is so "last century". They much prefer the next shiny new widget and a quick path to their next paycheck. We in the trenches who actually have to do work always have to clean up their mess.
Perhaps customers need to unite and fight back against this trend and force vendors to no longer put their entire IT infrastructure investment and mission critical applications at peril. We need to twist the arms of our CIOs and management to actually do something for a change. No one should be able to have their cake and eat it too. Vendors should be allowed to protect their product but the customers should be allowed to protect their businesses and our government functions that their products were aquired to support.

Hi Jeff
I hope you feel better having got all that off your chest. Strictly speaking, this sort of diatribe is better suited to a blog. Why not sign up for a virtual soapbox with Blogger or Wordpress?

License Determination question.

Hi all,
After we create a license, will it be automatically assigned to a sales order depending on the strategies or we have to assign it manually?
In case of No license required or license exceptions, do we still have to create a license representing these in the gts system?
Thanks!
Raj

Hi Raj,
The system will require a "license type" for any product that does not have the "No Control" box checked on the product master. For "NLR" products, if the license is setup to track items by quantity or value (or both), I would suggest creating a new NLR license (not license type) each year to avoid having one gigantic NLR license.
Cheers !

License Types in license determination.

Hi Experts,
I have some doubts on License or legal cotrol (Export/Imports).
1. Can any one give me some examples of license types.
2. Which type of products required licenses and
3. what are the different types of license available for exports to US. and Exporting From U.S to E.U or Other countries.
Please help on this questions .
Appreciate for helpful answer.
Thanks & Regads,
Hari.

Hi Hari,
That’s a question, I was now expecting from you.
Specifically, In US Scenario, we have two kinds of licenses to be obtained from Federal Department of Commerce. These are broadly classified as General Licenses and Validated Licenses.
1. General Licenses:- This is a class of licenses, which can be used by the concerned party directly without any approval from the Government Authorities as soon as its fits a scenario like for the case of License Type EXCPT—License Exception.
2. Validated License Types: - This is class of License which requires prior Approval from the Government Authorities as soon as its fits a scenario like for the case of License Type VL, IVL , IVLP, DSP5 etc.
In this case, there is a further classification as follows:-
VL-->Validated License Type. This is for the above mentioned conditions but without any specific case.
IVL--> Individual Validated License Type. This is again with the above mentioned case but for a specific quantity of a particular product.
IVLP-->Individual Validated License Type (Partner Specific). This is again with the above mentioned case but for a specific quantity of a particular product and for a specific partner involved.
DSP5 etc.--> DSP-5 Application /License for Permanent Export of Unclassified Defense articles and related unclassified data. These classes of License types are specifically to adhere to the ITAR regulation of US Government to ensure movement of Dual use and Defense Articles.
I hope it was the required thing as asked by you.
Regards,
Aman
