Legal to trade?

Is it legal to trade downloads purchased from Itunes and if so are there any websites promoting that? I have a ton of tv shows that I have purchased and only plan on watching once. I would love to trade them for other shows that I have not yet watched.

Jennifer....Ever heard of DRM or Digital Rights Management?
All your files purchased from ITUnes contain a little code that "Locks" the file to your ITunes account allowing you and you alone to play on up to five computers and transfer to your IPOD(s). DRM was designed to deter such acts you are wanting to do.

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.

Legal control for Purchase orders / Foreign trade requirements for MM

We make parts that are military related and we must comply with the US ITAR regulations.
As part of this regulation when we buy components to make our finished goods, the vendors that we buy raw materials from must also be ITAR compliant.
Has anyone been able to do before in SAP by somehow linking a legal requirement to a PO and vendor to see if they comply and if not it blocks the PO or receipt? Can it be done in R/3 or is this something that is handled in Global Trade Services??
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!
Debbie

Hi Debbie
Are you using QM also ? Then you can do this within standard config & master data in 3 steps:
1) You can define 'ITAR' as QM Infosystem.
IMG->QM->QM in Logistics->QM in Procurement->Define QM Systems (Txn OQB7)
Read the IMG documentation here which is good.
2) Txn:MM01. Maintain QM view for material (QM Proc active and Target QM system)
3) Txn: XK01/XK02; Maintain vendor's QM system in Purchasing data.
    OR
    QI01/QI02: You can also maintain Quality Info record for vendor/material/plant
    combination and maintain a QM system there.
You do not need to use QM additional functionalities or implement QM entirely to use this.
Best regards
Ramki

Foreign trade! Legal regulation control

Hello Guys,
If someone has worked on FT-Legal Regulation,kindly tell me whether it is possible to control regulations on the basis of Sales Organisation rather than Country of origin(which is derived from plant).
The requirement is in Intercompany Business <b>wherein the delivering plant is the same</b> and the regulation needs to be picked on the basis of sales organisation.
Ex :
Sales Org 1000 only blocks for Z2 and does not block for Z3
Sales Org 2000 only blocks for Z3 and does not block for Z2
Sales Org 5300 does not block for Z2 or Z3 Legal Regs

Jean,
I have done a Foreign trade implementation.
The core team of the client are FT experts and they would tell you about the legal requirements. Your job is to map them in SAP FT.
In this process you would gain Knowledge about Foreign trade regulations of that country. Remember its country specific.
The ECCN's are provided by the client. Info abt the same is extensivley available on the NET.
You have to get the list of all the mtrls which fall under the controlled cantegory of the respective commerce ministry and then start the config setting these mtrls as relevant for FT checks.
Thanks

Foreign Trade - Legal Control for scheduling agreements

We are on version 4.6C and I am setting up the legal control for my company. It seems to work quite well for sales orders but then when I went in to configure scheduling agreements it errors and tells me you cannot do legal control for document type "E" which are typically scheduling agreements.
I cannot find any documentation on this. Does anyone know why legal control does not work for scheduling agreements and/or is this functionality available in the Global Trade Services module??
Thanks in advance for any and all help!!

Legal control in Foreign Trade

we are working on an implementation of foreign trade component for 5.0, in that we are facing following problems,
1. Validity date of license is (showing 00.00.0000) not found & determined date of file entry is showing 00.00.0000, and it also says that license status: 4
Another error is ' No license determined! ' with RED signal.
Also' Status Legal Regulation ' is also in RED
Request you to kindly revert to us on the above ASAP, as we need to fix the same. Also guide us through configurations, if any.
Thanking in advance.
Chittaranjan

Thanks once again, Siarhei!! You are absolutely right!! The text exists in the TTXOB, STXH and STXL tables. And I'm sure you are right that we can get that data to pull into the scripting and print.
But do you by chance know why the text object EMBK does not exist in Text determination table (RVTXOBJ)? If it did exist I could create an access sequence to go and get the data. I would really prefer to set it up that way if possible so we can see the text in the sales order and then copy it into the delivery note and invoice. If not, then of course I will use the scripting to get it printed.
You have been so helpful!!
Thanks very, very much!!

Foreign trade - legal control.

Hello,
Could you please tell me what skills/informations are needed to configure the Legal control? I mean although I understand the function and know how to configure, I have to read the foreign trade law to map the law into the system.
I think the information in foreign trade law is so huge and it is hard to define export control class number, license type etc in system by myself.
Do you have any experiences regarding this problem?
Many Thanks
Jean

Hi Sneha,
If you want to remove the legal control fields, you have to remove teh dynpro SAPLMGD1 2202 from the screen sequence .
You can do it in spro - Logistics General - Material Master - Configuring the Material Master - Define Structure of Data Screens for Each Screen Sequence ... (better if you do it for a screen seunce not standard).

Foreign Trade Data Configuration (commodity code, legal categorization)

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!

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.

How to post material master legal control data (Foreign trade export view)?

Dear Gurus,
Currently we have an external application which posts material master data into SAP using MATMAS IDOC through JCO. Now we have a requirement wherein we need to post legal control data ( especially ALNUM field) beisdes the regular views. MATMAS Idoc do not have a provision to post this specific field ALNUM ( Export control class).
Can you please suggest how to post this field value in to SAP. Do we need to use any other IDOC or RFM/BAPI as we do with classification view. In that case can you please suggest those relevant APIs.
Thanks in advance
Aman

Hi Aman,
I have got the same problem with this legal control field(ALNUM field).
There is no provison to post this field through IDOC. Can u please tell me what was the why u followed for this issue.
Thanks& regards,

How can I file a complaint about an employee who has been messing with me on purpose (on trades)?

Hello. What's the best way to file a complaint against an employee who basically tried to ruin all game trades for me?
She just stands there in the customer service section doing nothing, she paces back and forth while customers are waiting, and she only takes calls to avoid talking to customers in person. She messes up trades on purpose.
I had a problem with a trade-in once with an awful supervisor and I called the Executive Resolution Team and the lady on the line just told me that they would call the store to hear the "other side" of the story. Honestly, I just told her what happened.
I went in there for a trade-in earlier that day and the woman taking my trade refused to enter my phone number for my bonus. She flat out refused it five or six times. It was insane. I explained to her how the system works and she called her supervisor. The supervisor acted like I was trying to steal the bonus even though I paid for the subscription. I politely explained to her how it works and I told her all the things that came with the subscription. I told her that all they need to do is input my number in the correct space and it should apply automatically.
She didn't believe me but she said that I could get a discount higher than what I asked to get as the bonus and I told her that it was actually lower because it was due to the base. She said it's fine and I said that I wasn't planning to buy anything that day. I just wanted to clear some space and get some credit in case there was a decent online sale later that week. She said that she could only give me a discount on something and I said, "Then can I get an Amazon card?" and she said something like "Go get it."
I came back with the card and she gives me a discount lower than what she said she would give me, but it's still a little bit higher than my bonus, so I let it go.
I went home and I had dinner and I got some more games ready and I went back to the store. A different lady was there and she got through most of my trade faster than the woman who kept refusing to enter my number for my bonus. She also couldn't get the bonus to work and she gave up on the first try so she calls a supervisor. I just wanted to sweep up all my games and run because I knew that she was calling the same supervisor, but I stood there because I didn't do anything wrong.
At this point, the woman who keeps giving me trouble in my recent trips there appears and like always, she's doing nothing. Anyway, let's just call this woman L. The supervisor is K. K walked back behind the counter and she says something like, "You again? No. You're not doing this again." I say, "Doing what?" I feel insulted but I tell her that all they need to do is enter my number in the correct place for Gamer's Club Unlocked. L heard this but she just turned around like she didn't hear anything and she's busy. She did this because she's the one who got the registration card for Gamer's Club Unlocked for me. Back when she did that, she mentioned that she was from the Gaming Department. She knew that I was right but she let the supervisor get aggressive with me.
K kept threatening to cancel my trade. I kept trying to reason with her. All she needed to do was her job. I told her how to figure it out. She kept repeating, "I will cancel it." I said, "cancel it." She canceled it and she had this egomaniac look on her face like, "I won."
I take my games and I look back and L is pacing back and forth like a beheaded chicken.
Anyway, for the Titanfall promo, I go into the store and I want to trade two copies of Call of Duty Ghosts and a copy of Thief. I got a copy of Ghosts from a friend who was busier than me. I was very busy those few days, so I went on the last day after classes. I have evening classes, so I got there near closing time. L rejected one of my copies of Ghosts and I asked her why and she said it was store policy even though it's not. She just cost me $11 or something because of the non-promo and promo difference.
She insisted on doing the Thief and Ghosts trades separatetly for no reason even though I insisted that she do them together so she will only need to enter GCU once and I only need to sign twice and I get one gift card. She's just acting like a jerk, so I said, "whatever". She asked me for my number for the GCU bonus after I tell her about it. It's input and it's in the right place. It was done on the first try. She finished the Ghosts trade and I signed everything but she wouldn't give me my gift card. She started the second trade and she asked me for my number and she input it. I signed the pad and as I'm signing the paper that should be correct because she asked me for my number, I notice that my bonus is missing and I strike out the signature. I told her and she already knew. She was just shocked that I struck out the signature. She said that there was no prompt for it. She obviously lied. She asked me for my number and she input it. I told her, "You should have said something." She just took a relaxed pose and she told me that it's already tendered so she can't undo it. I told her that it's not final until I sign the final paper. I knew that I was pushing my luck because it was the last day and it was near closing time, but I kept telling her that she could fix it.
She just wanted me to cave at that point, so she says that she will go ask a supervisor about it and she just walked into a room and she walked out in a few seconds saying the same thing. She just pretended to ask about it. She said that I can call the customer service line and get the bonus added. I signed it and she gave me the two cards. Oh, and when she left to "ask a supervisor", she took the card that was already legally mine with her. I had two cards, so I wanted to combine them. I took them to the register with a minute or two to spare and it turned out that they could not be combined because they were store credit cards and not gift cards, like it states on the website.
So I want to file a complaint against her now and I want to get the bonus she took from me. What's the best way to do that?

Hello r555,
Thank you for being a My Best Buy member, and thank you for visiting our forum. I am very sorry to hear that it has not always been easy for you to receive your Gamers Club Unlocked bonus when trading in games. I'll be happy to talk to you about your experience.
I get the impression you are quite familiar with the trade-in process and how the bonus is applied, and it is disappointing to hear that a store associate wouldn't attempt to complete that process. I will be sending you a private message so we can get some more specific information regarding which store you were at as well as the trade in question where you did not receive the bonus. Please watch for a message from me shortly.
Sincerely,
Mike|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

Copying and Mass Changing of Legal Controls on Material Masters

I have just set up in our DEV system, the Legal controls on the Material Master . . . The Legal Regulation, the Export control class and the Grouping. We do not have Foreign Trade turned on, but we wanted a place to store this information . . . to help when documents are generated.   My question(s) now are, when our users create Material Masters in most cases they create in reference to another material. I tried this with what I set up, and it will not copy those fields . . . is there a way it can copy . . .something in configuration that will allow this? And, also our users require a large amount of data to be changed sometimes and these fields possibly fall into that requirement, and I was looking for a way to Mass Change, but I am not able find those fields on the available Mass Change tables . . . I believe I need MAEX . . . Is there a way to Mass Change?

Hello Diane,
There are two things, which have to be done :
-The first thing of course is, that for the fields involved the field :
"Propose Field Content from the Reference" must be set in transaction OMSR.
- The second is, that the user have to enter this screen, because if she/he don't display this screen, then it is technically not possible to copy the reference values.
Hope this can help !!!

Mauro

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
