Foreign Trade Data Configuration (commodity code, legal categorization)

All,
I have the following scenario/issue:
1. Orders (OR) created for Argentina country (goods coming from US to Argentina, not intercompany) are getting the commodity code printed on the invoice which the business doesn't want to happen. Researching the problem I figured out the commodity code is somehow automatically added for each item during the delivery creation (I confirmed it's not being included manually).
2. Orders (OR) created for Mexico country (goods coming from US to Mexico, not intercompany, same origin plant as the above scenario) are NOT getting the commidity code printed on the invoice which the business DOES want to happen. Researching the problem I figured out the commodity code IS NOT being added for each item during the delivery creation.
A workaround is in place on the business as I noticed both can be done manually: include or exclude commodity code.
However, I'm looking for some guidance on how to configure the system to STOP including the commodity code on the Delivery Document for Argentina and START including this code on the Delivery document for Mexico. What is happening actually is exactly the opposite but I couldn't figure out how the system is making it happen.
Both Orders for Argentina and Mexico contain some similar items (material) which are coming from the same plan in the US. Verifying material master data I can see the material has the commodity code there. This is the code that is being brought to the delivery document for Argentina and somehow not being brought for Mexico.
Please let me know if any additional info is required for you guys to help me. I'd appreciate if some guidance could be provided.
Thanks!

you are talking about printing, but printing is often done with customized programs and forms, so I never trust what gets printed, it somehow like a magic show.
First check the document in SAP. e.g. with VF03 the billing document. at item level is a tab called foreign trade, does this have the commodity code? in both of your cases?
In my opinion it should, because the value is defaulting from the material master to the Sales order and from there to the billing document.
If the number is finally shown on the print out or not, has pretty much to do with skills of the people who wrote the fuctional design spec and the skills of your SAPScripter.

Hi,
Check in Transaction code OVE1 (PATH SPRO -> sales and distribution ->foreign trade/customs->Basic data for Foreign trade ->Define commodity code/import code numbers by country) that the commodity codes are maintained for country Mexico.
Make sure that for each code, the field additional info is filled appropirately like 1 -Export/Dispatch.
If maintained for Mexico, then it should pull in the delivery document -> line item level export control tab. Based on the ship-to county, the commodity code is populated.
Regarding printing the commodity code in invoice, why don't you add a logic in the ABAP program that prints the invoice?
You can add the logic, that if the ship-to country is Argentina, dont print the commodity code and if the ship-to country is Mexico, then print the commodity code in the invoice.
Hope this helps.

Foreign Trade Data Issue

Hi All,
    I have a problem while creating billing document.
System is showing that"Foreign trade data is incomplete".Because customer belongs to foreign country.I am maintaining country in customer master data:General tab page.
Is it required to map foreign trade if the customer belongs to country other than India?
If we give country other than India than during creation billing document: in foreign trade/customs:organization tab page: number of foreign trade data and FT basis doc. cat. is coming automatically. But if I maintain IN in customer master record it is not coming.
So my question is how to solve this so that if I maintain country other than IN in customer master record than I can able to create billing document and release it to accounting..
Points will be awarded for a helpful answer.
Thank and regards.

Hi,
Listed below are the areas of Customizing you need to check to ensure you have fully maintained the foreign trade master data, check objects, and proposal objects.
Because the systems defaults depend on settings in Customizing, the more fully you maintain this data, the more complete the data in the purchasing and sales documents will be, and the more efficient the system will be to use.
You can access the Implementation Guide (IMG) to customize your area of interest via your project from the SAP standard menu by choosing Tools - AcceleratedSAP - Customizing - Edit Project.
In the IMG, make entries in the appropriate items in the checklist below to ensure that the Foreign Trade application component is prepared for use.

Foreign trade data incomplete for item 10 -URGENT

Hi All,
           In a proforma invoice for delivery, user is getting this msg :
      "Foreign trade data incomplete for item 10"
          Can anybody tell me, why system is gvn this msg.
Points will be awarded for the helping answers,
thanks in advance

Hi Ruchi
In VF02, select the line item, goto item --> Foreign Trade item. Check in the tab "For Trade/Customs --> Legal categorization, whether any HS code is flowing. If not, give the respective HS code in this field and try to save it.
Alternatively, you can also select the icon "incompleteness analysis" which will be next to "set" tab. Just click this tab so that it will list out where you need to give the missing datas. Choose and press F2 and it will go the incompletion field. Fill in the details. Like this if you continue to fill in the details, the list of incompletion details will decrease and at last, you could come out of the error.
Thanks

Invoice split due to mismatch in Foreign trade data

Hi all,
While creating a Commercial invoice for Exports with ref to Around 20 Deliveries , the Invoice is getting Split into Two parts, First one consisting of details from 19 deliveries and second consisting of 1 delivery.
On analysing the Split Analysis , i found that foreign trade data of the two cases differ.
I checked up in the Master Data (Foreign trade data) as well as Copy control(delivery to billing) which i found to be correct.
Can anyone please let me know if there is any other reason that this foreign trade data is coming different for this delivery while processing for invoicing.
Anticipating your replies in this regard,
Ujjwal

Hi,
You can check with as Lakshmipathi suggested, also please check with the Commodity Code, country of origin for the delivery which is getting split, check with the log for foreign trade data at Header and Item level in the delivery.
One possible reason can be different master data.
Regards,
Harsh

Hi,
You need to maintain this data in customization. Menu path:
Materials Management->Purchasing->Foreign Trade & Customs->Transportation Data->Define Modes of Transport.
This data needs to be maintained aagainst country "IN' if the plant is located in India.
If useful, pl close the posting.

Foreign trade data in SD

Hi experts,
There is a need of reporting on foreign trade data in SD.
In R/3
According to my knowledge foreign trade data present in table EIKP and EIPO. when I see in document level of SD delivery and billing, I find that the corresponding foreign data comes from Material Master records.
Now I don't find EIKP and EIPO tables fields(like commodity code, office of exit, mode of transport) for Material Master data in BW as well as in R/3. Even I don't find that Material master data is based on these tables?
How can I extract the foreign trade data from ECC to BW?
Can anyone help me?
Rakesh

You have a couple of possibilities here. If you want your SD DataSources for billings and deliveries to have this data, you can append the fields needed to the extract structure and create a User Exit for those respective DataSources through CMOD to lookup on the EIKP and EIPO tables. The other choice would be to create generic DataSources for each table, or if possible create a view of these two tables and create one generic DataSource from that view.

Foreign trade data incomplate

Hi all,
When creating billing (trcode VF01) I get an error as:" Foreign trade data incomplate."
How can I correct the error?
Thanks&Regards

Hi Feyyaz ,
You require to do the necessay configuration for Foreign Trade Data:
IMG --> Sales and Distribution --> Foreign Trade/Customs --> Basic Data for Foreign Trade --> (Do the necessary configuration here)
Sales and Distribution > Foreign Trade/Customs > Control Foreign Trade Data in MM and SD Documents > Foreign Trade Data in MM and SD Documents
Here keep in the first column all the codes of those countries to which you export to.
Indicator: Goods direction for declarations to authorities = 2.
Rest all fields = Standard settings should remain.
After the complete Congiguration, before PGI or before invoicing (before save) goto Header level & Item level and complete the For Trade/custom tab with necessarray information.If ur configuration and filled data is complete u got a Green signal on there.
Plz check it.
Please find below online documentation related to Foreign Trade.

Foreign trade data incomplete for item 000280 (Message no. VF074)

Hi
Foreign trade data incomplete for item 000280 (Message no. VF074)
When I click on Incompleteness analysis button at Item level, it is showing below fields for few Invoices
1. Business Transaction Type for Foreign Trade (EXART)
2. Statistical value for foreign trade (GRWRT)
3. Country of origin of the material (HERKL)
4. Commodity Code/Import Code Number for Foreign Trade (STAWN)
why this error is for few invoices only
from where these 4 fields will be picked automatically without maintain manually in VF02
Thanks & Regards
Sudha

Hello,
1) it should be determined according to customizing settings under "Sales and Distribution --> Foreign Trade/Customs --> Basic Data for Foreign Trade --> Define Business Transaction Types And Default Value";
3) and 4) they should be picked up from Material Master record, "Foreign trade export view".
They are checked as mandatory fields according to customizing under: "Sales and Distribution --> Foreign Trade/Customs --> Control Foreign Trade Data in MM and SD Documents --> Incompleteness Schemas for Foreign Trade Data"
Hope to be useful.
Best regards,

Incomplete Foreign Trade Data in Billing document....

Experts,
I am using a scenario which is order related billing and the item cat is TAP....while processing(Saving) the billing document I am getting an error nessage saying foreign trade data is incomplete.....I got couple of question regarding this...
1)Since its a domestic sales where end customer belongs to the same country of the Company code why is it foreign trade data is required?
2)Where the incompletion procedure is maintained?.....I have gone through VI29 & VI49 there are no entries exists.....
3)what kind of solution is available for this scenario?.......
Thanks in advance......

Hi Kumar S,
1)Since its a domestic sales where end customer belongs to the same country of the Company code why is it foreign trade data is required?
system will not check for the company code country instead it will check for the customer country & plant country. if it differs then only export data determination will come into the picture. as you said its order related billing. check the copy control settings from order - billing.
Determine export data.
Note: check the address maintained in Plant. Plant data may not changed when copying from other plant.
2)Where the incompletion procedure is maintained?.....I have gone through VI29 & VI49 there are no entries exists.....
this incompletion procedure generally assigned to country. as you are not dispatching . this doesnt have any impact.
3)what kind of solution is available for this scenario?.......
check for the default settings to determine export data, in case of export sales only . Tx:VI95.
Hope it helps.

Reazuddin MD

Exit for Foreign trade data(import tab) on ME22N

In Purchase Order transaction ME22, the requirement is to copy the contents of office of entry field (EIKP-ZOLLA) to EKKO-INCO2 field.(whenever there is any change in office of entry field).The office of entry field is present in import tab of purchase order screen. Whenever any changes happen in it, the standard PO customer exits like EXIT_SAPMM06E_007 , EXIT_SAPMM06E_006 does not get triggered Nor the BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST. However, foreign trade exit EXIT_SAPLV50E_005 gets triggered. In this exit only completeness of data is checked and EKKO values cannot be modified from this exit.
Is there any alternative exit or BADI which gets triggered on the making changes in any data in the import (foreign trade data) tab in PO? Is there any mechanism to change EKKO-INC02 (screen value) from any of the other exits (i.e. exits triggered on data entry in foreign trade tab)?
