Maintain LGREG for material maintenance

Question

Dear all,
my customer wants the possibility to maintain import tariff numbers in the section ' GTS area menu > Customs Mgmt > Master data '. I have customized the according legal regulation, but I am facing 2 strange things:
1. Some LGREGs are available for material maintenance, although they are not 'activated' in the section "Customs Processing" Service. 'My' new LGREG will be available for material maintenance, ONLY when activating it in the section "Customs Processing" Service.  Why is this behaviour different to the other LGREGs? (Resp.: Which settings changes this?)
Customs processing > Display outbound activities (transaction is /SAPSLL/CL_CP_CUS_EXP )
2.1. Once my import LGREG is activated for customs, going to the export menu (overview about customs declarations) I will see entries doubled.
E. g.: Export Declaration: Open / In Process. This is now shown as Open / Open / In Process / In Process.
2.2. Why do I see my import regulation in the 'outbound' menu? This does not make sense to me. Is this an error, or 'Standard system behaviour'? If standard, what's the purpose of that?
^^Your helpful feedback on this is appreciated! Thank you very much in advance!!!

Answer 1

"The first part of your question seems confusing (or confused). You cannot maintain Tariff Codes in the "Master Data" area of the system, for any Legal Regulation. Please clarify the exact navigation path and/or Transaction you are trying to use."
Going to the described menu, check for the 'classification' tab. You can call up a random material and will see to which LGREGs / numbering schemes the material can be assigned.  "My new LGREG" appears only when activating it in the Customs processing service, while others can be chosen without being activated for import / export.
GTS area menu > Cust.mgmt / Master data > Maintain products
SPRO > SAP Global Trade Services > SAP Customs Management > "Customs Processing" Service > Activate Legal Regulations
"The second part suggests that you are trying to configure Customs Management for a non-standard country - is that correct? If so, you will really need to attend the GTS 100 and 200 training courses in order to gain enough expertise to do that. It seems like you have fallen into some obvious traps, and I don't think anyone on the forum will want to, or be able to, guide you right through the process."
I am afraid your assumption is wrong, it's a standard country. Questions like "why are the entries doubled in a specific menu" are not covered by GTS200 training. (BTW; apparently the table causing the double-entries is /SAPSLL/ALRG01). I believe this is related to settings made in the customizing but as stated ago, I am wondering about the system behaviour.
Dave, I don't know why you spend time to tell people that you are not willing to help, but your personal negative comment is inappropriate. See, there are 1177 GTS-related threads and they were posted because people had 1177 questions they could not answer on their own. If people knew the answer, they would not ask. Please leave the forum to users willing to help, thanks for your kind understanding.
