Foreign Trade Data configuration

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!

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.
Regards,

    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.

  • Default foreign trade data

    dear all,
    when i am create export sales, default data for foreign trade data is not getting reflected in the billing and hence showing foreign trade incomplete.
    how can i default the data of foreign trade data
    thanks
    srinivasan

    Hi,
    To check the config if foreign trade data is required or not:
    The "delivery Plant" under Organization tab is determined by your Shipping Point, check that country of your shipping point is the same as your Customer's country, if it is not the same, then Foreign Trade data are expected.
    If yes then,
    In sap main screen,
    Maintain foreign trade data for that material in foreign trade view of material master.
    Go to header data of the billing document
    Select foreign trade then maintain the entries mode of transport, country of origin if entries not found click on F4 in the field and select create tab in the field itself it will navigate you to the path maintain entries
    Then save the billing document.
    In configuration SPRO screen,
    Check the shipping point in sales order ,
    Also check the SAP Note No 313188 with your BASIS person.
    You require to do the necessary configuration for Foreign Trade Data:
    IMG --> Sales and Distribution --> Foreign Trade/Customs --> Basic Data for Foreign Trade --> (Do the necessary configuration here).
    In most probability, it will not default, but it is required to be maintained in Invoice (based on configuration)

  • 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 system’s 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 in Invoice

    Hello SAP Experts,
    We are having many Invoices failing to create Accounting documents due to "Missing Foreign Trade data".
    This issue have arised as they have Materials which are service materials and these service materials are not meant to have Export data.
    Do we have any setting where we can make the "Foreign trade data " as exempt for these service materials and/or the Invoice do not have the Incompletion log  for missing FT data.
    Attached is the Invoice screeshots showing incomplete FT data and Posting status "Posting document not created (export data missing)"
    Thanks in advance for your answers.
    Umesh Karane

    Hello Lakshmipathi,
    I have checked the Incompletion log maintained and it's not maintained for Foreign Trade data.
    I have also checked the Possibility of making the SERVICE Item's data as BLANK in material master: General /plant data , : Foreign Trade data, but even then the Billing document shows: FT incomplete.
    Can we maintain Exemption for Foreign trade data for "SERVICE" materials in the Configuration of Foreign trade in IMG?
    Thanks in advance for your answers.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • 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,

    But the system is not accepting it is showing error message again saying that foreign trade data is incomplete.
    Kindly help.

    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.

  • 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.
    Regards,
    Reazuddin MD

  • Foreign Trade Data Incompletion Log

    If a billing document is missing foreign trade data required for the incompletion procedure should this prevent the posting to accounting?
    Or is the incompleted data only required for intrastat reporting?
    Thanks

    Go to VF02->item data->foreign trade tab . there click on incompletion log icon whatever data comes fill those data  and next go to header data->foreign trade data tab ,there click on incompletion log icon whatever data comes fill those data and then save the billing document and then forward it to FI
