Country of Origin Vs Country Key

Hi All,
Can anybody tell from where in Vendor Master Record, the "Country of Origin" in info record gets populated??
What is the difference between the country of origin and country key??
Thanks

Hi,
Hmm....I don't remember, if country of origin comes from vendor master into inforecord.
Country of origin is very very important for certain materials (especially some raw materials when used (by importing, for example) in manufacturing and circulated within a country or further exported out would need to disclose the Country of Origin of such raw materials used. It can be a finished product imported and distributed within the country or exported out to another country. These are legal requirements (foreign trade regulations) for preferential treatment..
When this product is sold, the customer would also request you for a certificate of "Country of Origin" for similar further requirments for his/her business. It is essential even when you handle duty drawback for imports to claim it back when you reexport the manufactured goods out of it.
Country key of vendor master: It is the country where the vendor belongs. All the communication takes place with the vendor in the language of communication that you maintain in the vendor master record for the country he belongs.
Even though you are importing from a vendor V1, the product being imported might be produced originally by some V3. V1 himself may be buying from V2 which in turn might be a produce of V1.
Manufacturer part number (MPN) etc some lousy stuff is available in SAP. Some how, in all the project where I worked, no client like this. I have addressed the requirements in a simple and easy but customized solution.

hi,
You may try creating /updating equipment data without entering the country of origin. Since this field in asset master might have been disabled, system will not allow to save data.

Country of assembly versus country of origin How to deal with it

There is a business requirement to have Country of origin and the country of assembly stored in the material master in R3.
As i expect that other businesses also deal with products which have a different country of origin as country of assembly i would like to know What do you propose to deal with this? Should we simply add a field in the material master or is there another way?
Thanks

Best way is to use classification system.
Create a material Class- 001 , and create characteristics : 1-Country of Origin , 2-Country of Assembly.
assign the class to the material master and maintain the characteristics values per material.
Depending on requirement m you can either use material class or batch class.
you will find many threads on Class / characteristics here

Customs Duties based on Country of Origin in the PO

Hello,
I would like to seek your help on pricing conditions in the PO.
We have created an access sequence for customs duty condition type ZOB1, and we used the key combination delivering country, commodity code, and the country of origin. We cannot maintain the country of origin in the material master because it is only known upon PO creation. The condition type ZOB1 is supposed to read the country of origin in the PO. Instead, the country of origin in the material master is what's being populated in KOMP-HERKL, which is the field catalog we used as part of the access sequence/condition table.
We would like the system to get the customs duties based on the country of origin entered in the PO and not the one in the material master.
Is this possible? Has any of you tried to modify the values in the structure KOMP before PO prices are determined by the system based on the access sequence?
Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Lakshmipathi,
So far we are encountering 2 incorrect deliveries in production. This does not involve Sales order but Purchase Order. I tried to check the country of the Supplying Plant and the country is not the country reflected in the delivery. It is expected that the country of the supplying plant must reflect in the delivery. Checking the PO, it is not also getting the correct country but it is getting the country of the receiving plant. We got confused why it is getting the country of the receiving plant.
Thanks,
Rish

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.

AX 2012 Country of Origin

I am trying to identify how to have multiple country of origins linked to the the same item. I have product where manufacturing has changed to a different country. However, the product currently in inventory could be either from the old manufacturing
country or the new one. This creates an issue when exporting the product as the system currently only references one country of origin.
Does AX2012 have any configuration options to handle multiple COO?

Very urgent :: country of origin issue to be populated on Goods receipt

We have multiple vendor PART NUMBERS assigned to 1 vendor i.e N - 1 Relationship,
if we maintain PIR , which can be used only for 1 vendor to 1 part number we cannot use PIR in this case as it is N - 1 Relation.
So, the situation is we need to maintain Country of origin for part numbers, which can be seen in Goods receipt.
By country of origin we should be able to track the inventory in Goods Receipt.
There is one other option by maintaining a Batch which is the last option, plz do look for the options.
Please solve this problem with possible solution.
Appreciate ur help in advance.
Thanks,

I am planning to buy an iMac 21.5 inch with Fusion drive and 16 GB RAM while i visit USA for a conference. My country of origin is India. Once i am back to India, will my iMac be covered by the Apple's Protection Plan?

I am planning to buy an iMac 21.5 inch with Fusion drive and 16 GB RAM while i visit USA for a conference. My country of origin is India and the option of configuring to my need is not avaialble here in India. My concern is once i am back to India, will my iMac be covered by the Apple's Protection Plan if something goes wrong here in India?
I recently came across some posts regarding International warranty related issues for iPhone and iPad....hence this crossed my mind...
Waiting for response from the support group members...

Thanks Ralph
This essentially means that if my iMac develops some problem (both software and hardware) in my country (India), it will be completeley attended (even the whole system requires replacement) by the AASP in India...is that what you say?

Country of origin from Inforecord to batch record at GR time

Hi Folks,
We have a material which is purchased from 2 different vendors in different countries. The material is batch managed and a specific batch will only ever be purchased from 1 country. Some customers will only accept the material if sourced from 1 of the 2 countries. I have maintained the country of origin in the inforecord for each vendor. What I need to happen is that at the time of goods receipt of a new batch, the country of origin is passed to the batch record but this is not happening. The vendor is being pulled in, but not the CoO. The receipt is processed by an interface and not manually so it cannot be added manually at GR time.
Do I need to use a user exit in the batch creation process to populate this field in the batch record (if so, any idea which one would be suitable), or is there another way of configuring it to populate automatically from the inforecord?
Cheers
Keith

Hi,
To fulfill your requirement please use the user exit. Possible two user exits are EXIT_SAPLV01Z_013 (enhancement SAPLV1ZN in trs SMOD) and EXIT_SAPMM07M_003 (enhancement MBCFC003). The user exit EXIT_SAPLV01Z_013 is best option. Thanking you.

HT1918 I can't get into my account in iTunes using my ID and password -the session times out after trying to Review and I choose United States as country of origin-- have tried six times and same thong happens. Just want to verify if/which card is being

I can't find out if there is a credit card already attached to my apple ID and password. Every time I go into iTunes, as apple instructs me to do, I can't get into "Review", as it "times out" right after choosing the "united States" for the country of origin. Every time. All seven times now. I received this phone as a gift from my wife and she can't remember if there was a credit card put on file, but thinks there was, since she's pretty sure they wouldn't let her set up the apple account for the new phone without it. You would think that this should be easy to find with my ID and password and security info and all, but after almost an hour, we are at our wit's end!! Please help!!! THANK YOU!!!
