Answer 1

Hi,
Check which incompleteness procedures are assigned to the
respective country for the header and item data.
You can find this in the Customizing under:
Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Foreign Trade/Customs ->
Control Foreign Trade Data in MM and SD Documents ->
Incompleteness Schemas for Foreign Trade Data
Now, check which fields are assigned to the corresponding incompleteness procedure. For this purpose, follow the path:
Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Foreign Trade/Customs ->
Control Foreign Trade Data in MM and SD Documents ->
Incompleteness Schemas for Foreign Trade Data
Select the desired schema and click on 'Document fields'. For all fields
which are displayed here, you can now check which value there is define in field 'Field control'.(This value controls both the field selection
and the incompleteness check.).
