Import PO for Vendors on a Free Trade Zone

Question

Hello Gurus,
A Free trade zone is an area inside a Country where companies trade with foreign and local clients, but when working with local clients an import process must be made, i.e. customs, nationalization, etc.
When creating a PO for a plant in a country and a vendor in a different country, the order is treated as an import order with all the information needed for the importation process.
How can it be made that when placing a PO order in a country, lets say, Mexico, and the vendor is located in Mexico but inside a Free trade zone, the order has the necessary fields to provide e.g. Commodity Import Codes, Customs, Country of origin, etc.?
Thanks in advance for your comments,
Nelson.

Answer 1

For your requirement to be fulfilled, you need to create new fields in PO header in a new tab namely CUSTOMER DATA/Additional data, and then whenever Import PO is made, maintain those fields accordingly.
