Problem when creating contract with foreign trade / customs

Hi,
I encountered a problem when creating contract / outline agreement.
I used ME31K to create a contract with a vendor outside of our country. I suppose that I should be able to see "Foreign Trade / Customs" in "Header" menu, but this entry is gray, I cannot enter it.
I tried to create a scheduling agreement using ME31L with the same vendor and material, I can see "Foreign Trade / Customs" information. I suppose these two process are similar, aren't they?
Btw., I checked the master data according to this thread:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/ed/3b6cc697e711d1b4e20000e82d81b0/content.htm
Can anyone give me some hint?
Thanks!
Charlie

These two processes are different:
The Contract agreement or the Outline Agreement is that create the centrally contract (cross-plant) where it can maintain different pricing conditions for each and every plant. It creates the Release Order with reference to Outline Agreement. No detailed delivery schedule can be made in the Release Order. No Release documentation is created. Only time-dependent conditions can be created, Some Item Category 'M' and 'W' can be used.
Whereas the Scheduling Agreement is the Plant Location what must be entered in the Scheduling Agreement. Its no need to create any other purchasing document except for delivery schedule line via Transaction ME38 or MRP running (with the appropriate setting of Source List). Delivery Schedule line items are created subject to your specific requirement. It can create both Scheduling Agreement with or without release of Documentation (subject to the Document Type LP or LPA) with the selection of either FRC or JIT delivery schedule. Either time-dependent or time-independent conditions can be created subject to the customizing in the Document Type of the Scheduling Agreement. Item Category 'M' and 'W' can not be used.

EN99 Import Simulation-Foreign Trade / Customs

Hi ,
I am using TCode EN99. When I simulate import processing with reference to
- a purchase order line item and it's ok (with RMIMPO)
- a good receipt and the system doesn't calculate the custom duties.
I checked the documentation, it refers to program name:
"Program RVEXIMSI Description
Import Simulation
Buyers can use the import simulation function to simulate an import process that saves time and expense.
Output
When you execute the program, you receive the following information from the simulation run:
1. Information on customs tariff numbers and customs duties
2. Information on the preference situation
3. Information on verification documents and authorities
4. Log information on the simulation run
Note
The link to pricing allows you to simulate different scenarios for the customs duty rate to be paid.
You can use other factors in pricing that influence values, such as surcharges and discounts, freight charges or insurance costs, for the import simulation. The relevant condition types are stored in pricing procedure RMIMP0.
Requirement
A prerequisite for a correct simulation run is that you maintain all the necessary data, such as determination tables, in Customizing.
In order to calculate customs duties, you have to maintain the relevant condition records.
The standard system contains pricing procedure RMIMP0 with the following condition types:
CU00: Gross price - Customs simulation
CURB: Total discount
CUFR: Freight/Quantity
CUIN: Insurance
CUZK: Customs quota
CUPE: Pharmaceutical products
CUAS: Customs exemption
CUPZ: Customs duty rate - Preference
CUDL: Customs duty rate - Third country
CUAD Anti-dumping
Access sequence 0002 is used for condition type CU00.
Note that the info record category field remains blank or 0 when you maintain the relevant condition records.
Also note that the term "home country" corresponds to "importing country"."
The good receipt use standard procedure RM0000, even changing procedure to RMIMPO, the duties and gross price are not calculated automatically.
Can anyone help me on how this program it's work and how custom duties are calculated automatically?
Regards,

HI, Mauro!
It seems that you are familiar with the import simulation in Foreign Trade Customs.
Please consider the issues I have, maybe you can help me:
1. In simulation (TCode: EN99), I need to convert the value of customs taxes into the local currency (RON) using the customs exchange rate.
The customs taxes in import simulation are calculated into the currency of the PO (USD).
2. I need to bring onto the CUFR freight condition the value of freight expenditures in the shippment cost document (FRB1), so that they are included into the base value for calculating the customs taxes (again in simulation).
(If I have the freight condition as a value in the inforecord, then the simulation knows to get the value and includes it in the import pricing schema, otherwise it does not.)
Looking forward to hearing from you or anyone else who faced the same issues,
Monica

Foreign Trade - Legal Control for scheduling agreements

We are on version 4.6C and I am setting up the legal control for my company. It seems to work quite well for sales orders but then when I went in to configure scheduling agreements it errors and tells me you cannot do legal control for document type "E" which are typically scheduling agreements.
I cannot find any documentation on this. Does anyone know why legal control does not work for scheduling agreements and/or is this functionality available in the Global Trade Services module??
Thanks in advance for any and all help!!
Debbie

Jean,
I have done a Foreign trade implementation.
The core team of the client are FT experts and they would tell you about the legal requirements. Your job is to map them in SAP FT.
In this process you would gain Knowledge about Foreign trade regulations of that country. Remember its country specific.
The ECCN's are provided by the client. Info abt the same is extensivley available on the NET.
You have to get the list of all the mtrls which fall under the controlled cantegory of the respective commerce ministry and then start the config setting these mtrls as relevant for FT checks.
Thanks

Foreign Trade for Freight Forwarding Agents within USA

My client uses foreign trade to export materials from US to outside countries.
I've done all necessary configurations by going through the SAP documentation on Foreign Trade.   It works perfect with key combination of Sales Organization + Bill-to party (where Bill-to party's country is outside USA.
But it does NOT work when we create a condition table with key combination of Sales Organization + Ship-to Party (where ship-to party country is USA).
Material Master (Export Foreign Trade) has already been setup with appropriate commodity codes.
We send customs invoice (boarder broker document) to Freight Forwarding agent (Ship-to Party) whose address is within USA.   And they then take responsibility to export the material to outside USA.
Problem-1: During Delivery creation, the system automatically copies the FT information from MM when the Ship-to Party's country code is outside USA. But NOT for Ship-to Party's country code within USA.
Problem-2: Customs condition table on key combination Sales Organization + Ship-to does NOT work during creation of billing document (VF01 or VF04).   We need this custom so the custom invoice to print automatically using the custom output type.
Need your help.   Please respond ASAP. Points will be rewarded.
Thanks,
Nevill.

Foreign Trade VX99 functionality

Hi all,
I am in desperate need to understand the standard Foreign Trade section in a 4.7 system (main t-code VX99). Would like to use this to help us comply with ITAR requirements but I am totally unfamilar with this area in SAP.
Does anyone have any advice how I could learn more about this or where I could go to have someone do a WebEx demo of it's functionality??
Thank you in advance for any consideration.
Paul

Dear Paul,
The SAP Foreign Trade/Customs component will enable you to successfully expand your international competitive position and prepare yourself for future developments in foreign trade.
SAP Foreign Trade offers you the following core functions:
Use of all import and export processes and efficient integration in the logistics chain
Automatic checking of export licenses on the basis of current regulations
Simplified reporting with automatic procedures for creating, printing, and submitting messages
Identification of the products for preference processing
Efficient handling of business processes using EDI communications
For further information, see also the R/3 online documentation. Accessibility of foreign trade data from all relevant SAP components
VX99:
On the Foreign Trade: Cockpit screen, choose Gen. Processing (Ctrl + Shift + F1).
On the Foreign Trade: General Foreign Trade Processing screen, choose: Environment -> Maintain User Data (or Shift + F6). From here, you can call up Customizing for Transaction FTUS ("Foreign Trade: Control table: User-dependent settings").
Choose New entries (F5).
Choose Default data on the New Entries: Details of Added Entries screen. The system then proposes an object name.
Set the radio button on the initial screen to Enjoy.
Choose Save.
The following activities must be completed by the foreign trade expert each day:
The foreign trade expert must check whether the goods may be exported to the country or customer in question.
The foreign trade expert must use the export invoices to determine which foreign trade data is required for customs (for example, customs office, mode of transport, procedure, commodity code (rating of materials), calculation of the statistical value etc.).
The foreign trade expert may have to check whether the materials listed in the export invoice are preference authorized (create a EUR1 document).
The foreign trade expert may have to adjust the export invoice for customs, in other words, add the foreign trade data to the existing invoices.
The foreign trade specialist must print the required export documents. Export declaration, EUR1, T papers etc.
General Foreign Trade Processing:
Day-to-day documents are checked here for completeness.
After calling up transaction vx99, enter the required data on the Foreign Trade: Cockpit screen. Choose General Foreign Trade Processing (transaction en99).
Potential errors with regard to the "Incompletion log":
Description of errors: "The statistical value of the document item is zero."
This error occurs when a price does not exist for this item (PR00). This is the case, for example, with free goods or higher-level items for a batch split. Since the statistical value in the item cannot be zero for the periodic declaration to the authorities, you have to enter this value here. The statistical value is subsequently entered when the periodic declarations are processed (see SAPcolor Foreign Trade Periodic Declarations for details).
To call up general information on the foreign trade functionality, choose Show/suppress information (or Shift + F1).
On the Foreign Trade: General Foreign Trade Processing screen, go to the Export field on the tab Operative Cockpit.
Hope this will help.
Regards,
Naveen.

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: Balance of payment report for Belgium RFIDITSR00

Hi,
I have done customizing settings for the balance of payment report of Belgium (report RFIDITSR00)
according to OSS note 928316.
When I want to create a file with file name "ITSR_BE_BOP2006" and extension CSV, I get following message:
Format tree ITSR_BE_BOP2006_XML does not exist for tree type ITSR
Message no. DMEE_ABA003
In table IDITSR_DMEE_V I have defined:
Reporting cat: S03CCR
Format tree: ITSR_BE_BOP2006_CSV
What else do I need to customize to get the file created?
Thank you for your advice.
Kind regards,

Hi,
in the copy control between order and invoice you need to set the 'determine export data' to 'B' so that it will be redetermined in the invoice. After that the relevant foreign trade userexits will work as well.

Foreign trade for free of charge purchase orders

Hello
Scenario:
My company imports tobacco leaf into GB from a different company based in BE, and my company processes the leaf in GB and sends it back to BE. We never own the leaf, and we only charge the BE company a price for the service we provide.
A purchase order is created for a non valuated material master with 'non-valuated GR' account assignment J and no invoice receipt. Foreign trade data such as commodity code either defaults from material master or is manually entered by PO creator.
There is no pricing procedure and therefore no GRWR condition value and the statistical value field in the 'declara./values' tab is greyed out. This causes an entry on Intrastat with a zero value, which is incorrect, as we should declare the statistical value of the goods for customs purposes.
Aside from adding a value in VEFU and then creating the report using VE33, what ideas do you have for how I could get a statistical value on this PO?
Thanks

Hi,
Can just think of a wild work around...well instead of marking the items as free, put in a value and also put in an equal amount of discount. Which will negate the value of the item.
I dont knw if that will be acceptable by your client..but it is a work around never the less...
Take care..
Osayed.

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

Dear laxmipathy&other SD Guru s,
As per your suggestion (you have given an answer for the same question) I have tried to fill up the following fields:
-Business transaction type for foreign trade
-Export/import procedure for foreign trade
-Commodity code /Import code Number for foreign trade
But the system is not accepting it is showing error message again saying that foreign trade data is incomplete.
Kindly help.
Sushil

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.
