Foreign Trade POs

I have a question for everyone regarding foreign trade Purchase Orders. Does anyone know if it is possible in SRM 5.0 to purchase items from a non-United States vendor in a US shopping cart? (using a US delivery plant)
I was wondering if this is available as a standard functionality, if there is a BAdI, or just in general if anyone knows how to do this.
Thanks in advance!

Foreign Trade data incomplete at Billing

Hi,
I get the incompletion log to enter foreign trade data, if a foreign customer is entered at the sales order. But i do not want an incompletion log as there wont be any foreign trade data.
However i checked VTFL and the copying requirement at header is maintained as 3, which i think is correct and Determ.export data - Blank
Assignment Number - E
Reference number -A
Can someone please explain how to maintain country specific settings for this incompletion log?
I checked
IMG-> Sales & Distribution -> Foreign Trade/customs-> Control foreign trade data in MM & SD documents -> Foreign Trade Data in MM & SD Documents
But i dont understand what exactly is meant by country of origin? And how we should maintain it for all foreign customers?
Thanks
Keshini

Hi Keshini,
In VTFL...
Please try to maintain following settings:
At Header:
Copying requirements    003 Header/dlv.-related
Determ.export data        B
Assignment Number      E
Reference number         B
Also, Check the Box: copy item number
At Item: (I am supposing your Item cat. as TAN
Copying requirements    004 Deliv-related item
Data VBRK/VBRP         007 Inv.Split (Rec/Div)
Billing quantity               B
Pos./neg. quantity          +
Pricing type                    G
PricingExchRate type     (Blank)
Price source                  (Blank)

I hope this will resolve your issue.

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.

Foreign Trade data is incomplete error while creating accounting document:

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.

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.

Foreign Trade / Intrastat - data order-related billing (downpayments)

Hi,
Shortly we have implemented the down payment functionality in our flows. Because downpayments require order-related billing the intrastat/foreign trade data is not copied into the closing invoice.
Apparently it is only possible to copy the data from a delivery.
We are in a make-to-order environment and we still create deliveries but because of the down payments, the invoice is created from the sales order and hence no intrastat data is copied which ofcourse is required ...
Can't find a suitable user exit for filling this data into the billing document. Also tried using copy data transfer (vofm) filling up tables eikp and eipo but that didn't work.
The only option open for me at the moment is creating a proforma invoice automatically from the delivery. This document can then be included in the intrastat reporting.
Is there another solution ?
with 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.

If a billing document is missing foreign trade data required for the incompletion procedure should this prevent the posting to accounting?

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)?

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me how may one hide the foreign trade Views (both export & import) within the material master Data?
Usually the material views for selection are managed Through the material type customization; however I cannot Find these views within the optional views for the material Types.
I also searched within the foreign trade customization and could not found where it can be managed.
Thanks a lot for your help,
Regards
Ronny

Hi,
To restrict the views you have to follow the above explained process. If you want make specific field in material master , you can use following process
1.Just click the tab ,(Which is u want to be Required entry or Hide )and get the field name
2.Go to T.Code: OMSR and enter that field name and get Selection Group
3.1. Use t.Code: OMS2 and click your material type and in next screen check Field reference ( you have assigned for material type){{ ( example :;For ROH material type the Field reference is ROH)
3.2. use T.code:OMS9,, Double Click your Field Reference and select field selection Group & select round box of Required Entry or hide as u required and save.
NOTE

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.

Documentary payment in MM - Foreign Trade

Hi all,
I have a question regarding documentary payment in MM, Foreign trade. In SD module, foreign trade there is a nice transaction regarding documentary payment and letter of credit but in MM module is not set up. When I want to enter vendor code there is no field but only customer. So, my question is, is it possible that transaction in menu for MM - foreign trade have transaction to enter documentary payment like letter of credit without vendor field? or there is some settings to be previously done or some field selection to change to be able to enter vendor and not only customer or is not possible at all in MM to use documentary payments but only in SD?
Thanks,
BR

it is only available in SD.
I dont really see a need for this in pruchasing.
This L/C is a guarantee, it guarantees that you as selling company get your money. You need this Documentary payment in foreign trade to avoid that you sell and ship more than the guaranteed payment, as you may never see any money for the overdelivered quantity.
From a MM point of view, you are just requested to pay when the goods are on the way or have arrived at your site. your bank will not give the money to your vendor if you have not received the goods.,
What would be the benefit of maintaining the same from MM point of view? to avoid that you create orders for more than your bank guarantees the payment? To remind you to open a L/C when the PO is created? (isn't the PO with proper payment terms not already enough )
If you really want to monitor it from MM point of view, then you can create a contract and reference it when creating a PO.

Z5A German Foreign Trade Report and company currency not Euro

We recently create a German company with USD as local currency and group currency, Euro being only the third currency.
There is an issue with the German foreign trade regulation reports (Z5E - RFAWVZ5A) that is a legal report for the authorities and that normally distinguishes postings made in Euro from those done in another currencies.
As the local currency of the company is the US dollar, all the postings whatever the currency of the posting is are in the samee column 888, there is nothing in the column 899.
Do you know how it would be possible to get the right result, postings in Euro in the column 888 and other postings in column 899 even if the company currency is not the Euro??
thanks in advance
Frédérique

Hi,
You have the answer in the following forum thread:
Re: Changing Currency of one Company
The best way is in fact to create a new entity and then operate all steps mentioned in this thread.
Not very complicated, but you should test that on your test environment first, or at least backup all your records, in order to safe-guard the process.
Hope this will help.
Kind Regards,
Patrick
