  • Country of origin - field in MCHA-HERKL is updated

    Hi Gurus,
    Pl let me know, how country of origin field MCHA-HERKL is updated. Is this related to classification / Batch management.
    Is there any user exits to update this field.
    Where this field is used in Business scenario?
    Best Regards

    Hello, Prakash
    The Country of origin field is updated with table MCHA. 
    (i.e, Country of origin of the material, it is a key of the country in which the material has been produced. You are legally required to specify the country of origin both for export and import) And
    It is related to Batch Management.
    And
    This information (i.e, country of origin) is used for foreign trade processing in different areas, such as in Foreign trade law and Customs law
    And you can observe this field in Material master (in two different views:  Sales: General /Plant Data (below Foreign trade: Export) & Purchasing data (in Foreign trade: Import) view 
    (the field is very much useful, in the case of Export sales)
    Export: You prove the origin of a material by presenting the certificate of origin. This is issued and controlled by the relevant authority of the issuing country. This authority confirms the origin of a material and the required information with the certificate of origin.                                                                               
    (the field very much useful, in the case of Import procurement)
    Import: The relevant authority of the importing country - usually the Ministry of Economic Affairs - stipulates which regulations regarding customs and foreign trade law have to be observed for the certificates of origin accompanying goods.
    Note: Purpose
    The above filed that is MCHA-HERKL is assigned to Field Groups and that tends to assignment of this field for the batch master data to a field group and thereby influence how the screen is set up.
    -> In the batch master data, every field is assigned to a field group.
    -> Field groups group together fields that have the same technical procedures. If you show or hide a field group using the field selection control, all fields belonging to this group are dealt with in the same way.

  • How is the Country of Origin field populated in the OITM?

    Dear All,
    I can see this column in the table but not in User interface. We are in CA and US localization. Thanks a lot.
    Regards,
    Yuka

    Hi,
    The country of origin does not appear on the interface but is available on the backhand ie. tables.
    If the field is a requirement you can check the following workaround in the test enviorment :
    - create udt for the countries
    - create udf on item masterdata -> set udt as linked table
    - create udf on Marketing Documents Row-level -> set udt as linked
                                                    table as well!
    - save following query and attach as formatted search to udf
    - on Marketing Documents Row-level:
    - SELECT udf FROM OITM WHERE ItemCode= $[$38.1.0] FOR BROWSE
    - set to autorefresh on "when existing altered column", Item No.
      in documenttemplate choose as Datafield
      File:  UDT
      Field: Name
      tick "Display Description"
    Check if the above helps.

  • VL02N - Country of Origin Updation

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to default Country of Origin field in VL02N Transaction for each line item under Foreign Trade/Customs Tab -> Origin / Destination / Business Tab.
    For this to be happen, I have used a function module EXPIMP_POSTING in the user exit Z_MV50AFZ1_6, which will update the country of origin field perfectly. 
    The problem occurs here -> The function module requires an input EXNUM (Number of foreign trade data in MM and SD documents) which is obtained from LIKP table. This Number will get generated only when the Delivery has some foreign trade data.
    Is there any other way to update this Country of origin field without passing EXNUM field to this function module or do we have any other function module or exit for such requirement?
    Thanks,
    Dhanalakshmi M S

    Hi
    In my case it is Foreign trade .so when goods are exported the foreign trade data will gets populated in the billing document at item level.
    By maintaining country of origin in material master data u2013foreign trade u2026it will flows to delivery/Billing document
    We found the cause of our issue is .not exports it is ..Domestic sales .so for domestic sales the data will not flowu2026u2026this we can identify by checking the Tab u2013 EXPORT in Billing document u2013 Header data u2013 Header
    The field will be populated with value Z or Y by the system .if it populates then it is export sales if not domestic sales

    The country of origin field is transferred to the delivery header and from there to billing header. This field is available in the material master foreign trade tab and not from the batch master for the material batch.

  • Update Country of Origin for Delivery Line Item

    Hello,
       We are creating a delivery using the function module 'GN_DELIVERY_CREATE'. The data for the creation of th delivery comes from a text file. The delivery is being created properly using the above function module, but we are not able to pass the country of origin (EIPO-HERKL) with this function module. Is there any other function module with which we could create delivery function along with passing the country of origin field or is there any function module which can be used to update the coutnry of origin in the delivery after it has been created. Waiting for your answers.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Nivin Joseph

    Hi,
    In the given function module GN_DELIVERY_CREATE by you, check the table parameter "XKOMDLGN" in tables, and check the filed SPE_HERKL (Country of origin of the material) in the structure" KOMDLGN". You can pass the value in xkomdlgn-spe_herkl for Country of origin of the material.
    Thanks,

  • Batch record - country of origin

    Folks,
    I would need to capture the country of origin in the batch automatically. There is a standard characteristic LOBM_HERKL which I did assign to the class but after doing a GR, the Country of Origin field in MSC3N remains empty.
    Any suggestions whether we can have the field filled automatically or not?
    Thanks.

  • OITM "Country of Origin" Header Field - OITM.CountryOrg

    Hi,
    I want to use this field to identify the country of origin for items.
    It imports OK, with DTW, but is not displayed on any of the Header TAB's. Unless I'm missing something.
    How can I display this field for users to check and if required update?
    Kind Regards,
    Eric Walker

    This field may be one which is localisation specific, and will only display for certain countries.
    I would recommend creating a user field to store the data & using DTW to populate that instead

  • Update field "Country of origin" in Product Master in SAP EWM system.

    Hi Team
    I have a requirement like as follows:
    I need to update the country of origin (HERKL) field into the product master transaction /SAPAPO/MAT1 ( Tab: Properties Field name Ctry of Origin) through BAPI. So i want to know what is the BAPI Name to update the Product master.
    Any prerequisites for this Please help me.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Abhishek.

    Hi,
    The function module BAPI_PRDSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI2  (Create or Change Products) can be called in the z pogram like any other function module call in a z program.  After the data definations, tables "product_head" and "product_head_X" need to be passed the values, along with other import values like Logical system , business system group etc.
    Your technical consultant should be able to work out smoothly.
    Hope this helps.
