Foreign Trade - upload HS codes

Hi Gurus,
Would anyone please guide on this: how are HS codes uploaded into foreign trade module? These are normally access database files and need to be converted to text before we can upload into SAP
Any comments / guides / suggestions?
Thanks,

Hi SM
Normally this will be maintained in J1ID --> Material and Chapter-Id combination.
Reward me if this is helpful to you.

SAP Foreign Trade- Search commodity code by keyword

Hello,
In the IMG, I noticed a configuration area titled "Maintain Keywords for Commodity Codes". I was wondering if anyone could give me a hint as to how to take advantage of this (without abap would be wonderful)? I have searched help and OSS, but can't seem to find anything. I was hoping it would enable the user to type a keyword into the comm. code field on the material master and the system return a number of matches... Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Jeff,
What sap syays on this!
Before you can calculate the duties that must be paid on your imported goods, you must correctly classify the product based on its commodity code or import code number (the first six digits are always the same internationally). These codes are found in the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (usually known as the HS or Harmonized System). Once you have determined the code for the goods, you can determine the rate of duty in the harmonized tariff schedule. Tariff schedule rates differ for each country and, in cases involving a quota, these rates are usually higher once the quota
Code from the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (usually known as the HS or Harmonized System). These codes provide a standard way to identify materials for a country's export and import reporting systems.
The first six digits of a material's code number are standard internationally, but each country adds extra digits to the codes to further assign materials in its own classification system. In the USA and Japan, commodity codes are 10 digits in length. In Europe, the length of these codes vary from 8 to 12 digits. Codes used for importing goods tend to be longer in length than those used for export.
Additional information for USA:
In the US, codes from the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the USA (HTSUSA) are used to classify import goods. With a few exceptions that are outlined in a notice to exporters, it may also be used to classify export goods. Schedule B is the official listing of commodity classifications used by shippers to report export shipments from the United States and in compiling the official statistics on exports of merchandise from the U.S.
Hope this helps you.
Thank you.

Foreign Trade ENGR T code

Hi Gurus
I am having problem with selection screen ENGR t code while selecting INTRASTAT invoices. I selected a particular combination of company code and country and currency. Reporting month i wanted to have it as jan 2007. I am getting warning message that logon currency is different from document currency. But when i do it for march 2007. I dont get this error. I have selected the log type as C.
Please help me in this situation.
Regards M

Yes my dear,
That is correct.
Because, the transactions which we haven't been paid and received are valuating at month end price, which gives you the un-realized gain or loss for that particular month.
Every company has to close thier books of accounts on monthly basis, say at 30th every month.
They need to find out the total un-realized gain or loss which is coming through the open items (other than LOCAL CURRENCY) in the system
Means, i bought 5 laptops each at $600 Dollors from US Vendor in USD yesterday, the rate was 50 Rupess one Dollor. Total is 150000 INR.
I have not paid this amount to the Vendor till the month end. I need to find out thetotal gain or loss which i incured for this month on total outstanding payment, lets say on 5 Laptops.
29.02.2012 Rate is $60.
Now i need to pay $606005 = 180000 INR. The total Unrealized loss is INR 30000 for FEB.
This is just UNREALIZED.
This will be again carry forward to the next month. So, this has to be reversed in next month FIRST, bcoz we hav't paid it.
Unitl the Outstanding amount clears, you will be running this.
Reversing in next month to keep the line items remian in open status until we clear them.
Hope you understand.

Commodity codes for foreign trade

Hi. I am a FICO support analyst but am currently trying to support SDMM as well while we are recruiting a new support analyst for those modules, so this isn't my area of expertise. We use ECC6. FI, CO, SD, MM, and COPA (costing based) for reporting.
I have been asked to set up a new commodity code for a product and country (Plywood from Brazil) we haven''t imported from before. So far I have:
Found an ICN for Plywood of the correct type
And (just in Dev so far):
Defined a commodity code length for Brazil in the IMG - IMG > S&D > Foreign Trade/Customs > Basic Data for Foreign Trade > Length of Commodity code/Import Code Number
Defined the commodity code for the material, with correct country, code and UOM of M3) in the IMG - IMG > S&D > Foreign Trade/Customs > Basic Data for Foreign Trade > Define Commodity Codes/Import Code Numbers by Country
Is there anything else I need to do?
Thanks in advance

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.

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.

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.

Foreign Trade Fields in SRM - Commodity Codes

Hello All -
Are there any standard foreign trade fields in SRM, like Commodity Code and Country of Origin? I have not seen these fields and I was wondering how other people have handled this.
THanks
JAne

Jane,
We have implemented the classic scenario here with SRM 5.0. So, the foreign trade functionality is being handled on the backend. I looked around and didn't see fields for HTS nor country of origin.
I do not know if that is being handled in the extended classic or if SRM 7.0 has that functionality.
I hope someone who is on SRM 7.0 can answer that question because that functionality would be a something we could use here as well.
Regards, Dean.

Update country codes for foreign trade statistics

Hi all !
I am updating our SAP Systems with all new Country Codes (ISO-Alpha-2) for foreign trade statistics (and preference calculation).
For example Monaco was a unique code "MC" with key "001" (same key of France). Now I have to change this code "MC" to "FR", but I can create only one key "FR" into SAP. So I've just modified the "ISO-Code" field with "FR".
What do you think about this ? Is this modification OK ? Thanks for your support !

How many foreign trade orgnisation we can assign to one company code

Dear Experts,
How many Foreign Trade Organisation can assign to one company code .
I would like to understand concept of creating FTO's .
Thank you
Krishna

Hi Krishna,
Regarding the concept; documents and transactions in GTS are carried out within a single Foreign Trade Organisation. Together with the Legal Unit (more-or-less corresponding to "Plant"), they provide the key to many of the attributes and characteristics for the transaction, and for reporting purposes.
For technical convenience, the FTO takes the form of a Business Partner, so has Name & Address attributes and is tied to a single country. It is reasonable to consider the FTO as representing the Legal Entity, so mapping to Company Code is provided.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Dave
