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 Import/Export Tab in Material Master of SAP R/3

Hi
What is the use of Foreign Trade Import/Export Tab in material master of SAP R/3

Hi Akhil ..
Sounds like you need to enrol for the SAP Foreign Trade training course!
The tab holds various attributes for determining Foreign Trade data - for example the Customs classification and Country of Origin. Those data are used to determine and/or populate fields in the Foreign Trade data when processing MM and SD documents.
Some, but not all, of the fields in that tab become redundant if GTS is in use.
If you have more specific questions in this area, it might be easier to give better explanations.
Regards,
Dave

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)?

Legal Unit and Foreign Trade organization are not in same country

Hi all,
We are currently working on a Maquiladora project under which our plants in Mexico will be assigned to a US company code.
However, when we try to define this org structure in GTS, we are getting the below warning message while assigning the Legal Units (with MX address) to the FTO (US address). The system allows us to save the config, but it doesn't appear to work correctly. For example, when I simulate an import into MX plant, the system is applying the US legal regulation rather than MX.
Has anyone encounterred this error or any suggestions? (One idea we thought about is to define the FTO with a MX address, not sure if this would be the right thing to do; one additional problem is, the given FTO also includes other US plants for which we do want to apply US legal regulation, should we rather define an entirely separate company code (US address) & FTO (MX address) for the given MX plants??)..Can someone shed some light on this subject? Thanks in advance. -Raj Palanivel.
Below is the full details of the warning/error:
Legal Unit xxx and foreign trade organization yyy are not in same country
Diagnosis
You tried to assign foreign trade orgnaization yyy in in US to legal unit xxx in MX.
This is not permitted. You must create the legal unit and the foreign trade organization in the same country.
System Response
The system does not permit this entry.
Procedure
Correct your entry.

Hi Raj,
In GTS we can map the company codes to FTO's as one to one and FTOs to company codes as many to one in the same way plants and legal units.
So in this case you can maintain one dummy FTO related to Mexico and assign it to the plants in mexico.But in R/3 you will map the plants in mexico to US company codes.For this SAP has provided some BADI's to implement this functionality.we have also have some similar functionality which we have implemented it at the time of transfering outbound deliveries.So use the following BADI /SAPSLL/IFEX_SD0b_R3 and method IF_EXTEND_CON_CDOC. you need to maintain one custom table for the organization units which needs to be transfered.

HAri Challa.

Add a view to the IMG for Foreign trade declaration Belgium

Hi,
I need to make the customising settings for the new report "Foreign trade declartation for Belgium".
This is report RFIDITSR00.
In SAP note 928316 I see which steps I need to carry out.
However, the node "Belgium" is not shown in the Implementation Guide.
Can I add it via transaction SIMGH and S_IMG_EXTENSION?
Can you please advise?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Linda

Hi,
Yes you can.
But do create it as a new Z IMG structure. The reason being that when a support pack or an upgrade is done, this will not be overwritten. However, if you do chose to create in an exisiting structural node, you will need to insert it back again after an support pack upgrade, from SPDD/SPAU.
Cheers.

Foreign Trade Declarations Step 5 - AP Invoices aren't reported

Hi Experts,
I hope you're all well. I'm hoping you can help me with an Intrastat issue I have please.
I have noticed that AP Invoice transactions only appear in Step 6 of the Foreign Trade Declarations report if I populated AP Invoice VAT Code with VAT Code E2 which is defined as Input Tax and the EU box is ticked.
If I create an AP Invoice with the VAT code I1 then the transaction doesn't appear on Step 6 of the Foreign Trade Declarations report. VAT Code I1 is set up as Input Tax but the EU box is not ticked for this VAT code.
Is this correct SAP behaviour please or am I doing something wrong?
Many thanks for any information.
Caroline

Hi,
Check the Tolerance days in the payment run defaults. Take the days as zero and run the payment wizard.
In 2005 version available under following path :
Banking Module > Payment Wizard > Payment Run Default > Tolerance days.
In 2007 version :
Administration > Setup > Banking > Payment Run Defaults.

Foreign Trade Reporting

Hello
We have a requirement to create two customs related reports out of SAP
1. The Foreign Trade Zone report-a report of all items entering and leaving the Foreign Trade Zone over a month
2. The Pedimento report-a report of all duties owed to the Mexican government based on items entering and leaving Mexico over the course of a week.
I can see in SAP's Foreign Trade Module the ability to create Intrastat and Extrastat reports for the EU, but neither of the above reports are standard in the module. I also cannot see a way of using the module to create the reports-so that they do not have to be entirely custom built. Does anyone have experience with Foreign Trade that can advise on the creation of customs related reporting? It should be noted that we do not have Global Trade Service.
Thanks

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.

Trying to link EIPO foreign trade data to VBAK,LIPS,LIKP,KNA1,TVROT

Hi
I am trying to link table EIKO - Foreign Trade data on delivery item data to my existing Quickview which has the following tables,
VBAK - Sales Doc header
LIPS - Delivery item
LIKP - Delivery header
TVROT - Route
KNA1 - general data in customer master
But when added SAP says 'no relationship Found'
Do i need to add another table as a common link ?- if so which one?
Many thanks for your help and advise
Tony

Hi
I'm not sure what you want to do. But the link is in EIKP-REFNR. With this field you can link to PO, deliv, invoice and so on.
I hope this helps you

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)
Regards,
Siddharth.

Foreign trade data default

while doing export billing, foreign trade data is not getting defaulted, how do we get the data like means of transport and domestic mode of transport etc., where do we have maintain these data to get defaulted in billing document
thanks

Dear varada rajan
I am not sure, whether you can, through some IMG setting make default settings for Foreign Trade Data, but however, You can use SAP enhancement V50EPROP to process foreign trade data (ordering as well as sales and distribution processing).
This enhancement is called by program SAPLV50E.
You can use the following components:
EXIT_SAPLV50E_001: SD documents - Header: Export header data proposal
EXIT_SAPLV50E_002: MM documents - Header: Import header data proposal
EXIT_SAPLV50E_003: SD documents - Item: Export item data proposal
EXIT_SAPLV50E_004: MM documents - Item: Import item data proposal
EXIT_SAPLV50E_005: Header data: Check completeness of data
EXIT_SAPLV50E_006: Item data: Check completeness of data
thanks

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.

Incompletion log in delivery for foreign trade data

Hi all,
I am doing export delivery and i want to put foreign trade date as in incompletion log.
This log i want to do only for export document types (zex) which i have created separately.
Delivery header > foreign trade / custom >geography >
1. Export customs office
2. Office of destination
Delivery Item > Foreign trade/Custom > Origin / Destination >
3. Country of origin
4. Dispatch country
I want to make those 4 field as mandatory while doing export order. But these fields are in the EIPO table which is not there in the delivery incompletion log.
Can anyone please help me how to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Babs

Hi Babs,
the foreign trade data can't be included into the incompletion log.
You have to create both incompletion log in T.code VI29.
Then you have to assign this logs to your country in VI49.
In standart SAP it's not possible to make this only for one document typ, this checks will be done for all foreign trade data.
Regards
William
