Error: Export data missing

Question

while Invoice-Release to accounting I got error as "Export data missing"
when I check I found that Foreign trade data is incomplete as per system. Also I have seen foreign trade no also in invoice foreign trade/customes view.
I dont know why this error is coming. system is asking to complete foreign trade for which no customizations available.
So I want to know what triggers to generate foreign trade no means why it has become essentials to provide these data?
which master data are important to trigger foreign trade? I have not maintained anything in foreign tarde view in material master.
Also let me know how can I resolve this problem?

Hi Vijay,
The note 173411 described that there are hard-coded checks for the
listed in the note. If you choose for business reasons not to use the
incompletion procedure, then it can be de-activated. For this, kindly
refer to note 118573.
Please complete the following steps:
- create a new customer project via CMOD.
- assign the enhancement V50EPROP (which contains the userexits) to
  the customer project.
- place source code inside the include found in exit_saplv50e_005
  & _006, for example,
  INCLUDE ZXV50U06
       if ( i_exp_imp_flag eq 'E' ).
         clear: c_complete.
         c_complete = 'X'.
       endif.
- generate the two new objects (exit_saplv50e_005 & _006) via
SE37.
- activate the project via CMOD.
========================================================================
If foreign trade functionalities are to be used, the corresponding
customizations must be maintained using transaction VI29 and VI49.
note 354222    Foreign trade data incomplete for domestic business
may also be helpful.
