Foreign trade error during billing

Dear SAP SD team,
        I am having a problem while saving the billing document. It says that the document is not posted to accounting due to foreign and trade error.
        I went inside and gave the requirements manually in header and item level, but i dont want to do it everytime. i want this foreign/ trade datas to be picked up automatically
or
the error must not come. Can anyone guide me on the same
regards,
Sudhir

Hello,
For documents created in the future, the incompletion procedure defined
in VI29 should force users to enter required foreign trade data -
In the standard R/3 system, you need foreign trade data maintained
if the country of the 'shipping point' is different to the country
of the ship-to party.
I hope that the information are helpful.
Regards
Claudia

Problem when creating contract with foreign trade / customs

Hi,
I encountered a problem when creating contract / outline agreement.
I used ME31K to create a contract with a vendor outside of our country. I suppose that I should be able to see "Foreign Trade / Customs" in "Header" menu, but this entry is gray, I cannot enter it.
I tried to create a scheduling agreement using ME31L with the same vendor and material, I can see "Foreign Trade / Customs" information. I suppose these two process are similar, aren't they?
Btw., I checked the master data according to this thread:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/ed/3b6cc697e711d1b4e20000e82d81b0/content.htm
Can anyone give me some hint?
Thanks!
Charlie

These two processes are different:
The Contract agreement or the Outline Agreement is that create the centrally contract (cross-plant) where it can maintain different pricing conditions for each and every plant. It creates the Release Order with reference to Outline Agreement. No detailed delivery schedule can be made in the Release Order. No Release documentation is created. Only time-dependent conditions can be created, Some Item Category 'M' and 'W' can be used.
Whereas the Scheduling Agreement is the Plant Location what must be entered in the Scheduling Agreement. Its no need to create any other purchasing document except for delivery schedule line via Transaction ME38 or MRP running (with the appropriate setting of Source List). Delivery Schedule line items are created subject to your specific requirement. It can create both Scheduling Agreement with or without release of Documentation (subject to the Document Type LP or LPA) with the selection of either FRC or JIT delivery schedule. Either time-dependent or time-independent conditions can be created subject to the customizing in the Document Type of the Scheduling Agreement. Item Category 'M' and 'W' can not be used.

EN99 Import Simulation-Foreign Trade / Customs

Hi ,
I am using TCode EN99. When I simulate import processing with reference to
- a purchase order line item and it's ok (with RMIMPO)
- a good receipt and the system doesn't calculate the custom duties.
I checked the documentation, it refers to program name:
"Program RVEXIMSI Description
Import Simulation
Buyers can use the import simulation function to simulate an import process that saves time and expense.
Output
When you execute the program, you receive the following information from the simulation run:
1. Information on customs tariff numbers and customs duties
2. Information on the preference situation
3. Information on verification documents and authorities
4. Log information on the simulation run
Note
The link to pricing allows you to simulate different scenarios for the customs duty rate to be paid.
You can use other factors in pricing that influence values, such as surcharges and discounts, freight charges or insurance costs, for the import simulation. The relevant condition types are stored in pricing procedure RMIMP0.
Requirement
A prerequisite for a correct simulation run is that you maintain all the necessary data, such as determination tables, in Customizing.
In order to calculate customs duties, you have to maintain the relevant condition records.
The standard system contains pricing procedure RMIMP0 with the following condition types:
CU00: Gross price - Customs simulation
CURB: Total discount
CUFR: Freight/Quantity
CUIN: Insurance
CUZK: Customs quota
CUPE: Pharmaceutical products
CUAS: Customs exemption
CUPZ: Customs duty rate - Preference
CUDL: Customs duty rate - Third country
CUAD Anti-dumping
Access sequence 0002 is used for condition type CU00.
Note that the info record category field remains blank or 0 when you maintain the relevant condition records.
Also note that the term "home country" corresponds to "importing country"."
The good receipt use standard procedure RM0000, even changing procedure to RMIMPO, the duties and gross price are not calculated automatically.
Can anyone help me on how this program it's work and how custom duties are calculated automatically?
Regards,

HI, Mauro!
It seems that you are familiar with the import simulation in Foreign Trade Customs.
Please consider the issues I have, maybe you can help me:
1. In simulation (TCode: EN99), I need to convert the value of customs taxes into the local currency (RON) using the customs exchange rate.
The customs taxes in import simulation are calculated into the currency of the PO (USD).
2. I need to bring onto the CUFR freight condition the value of freight expenditures in the shippment cost document (FRB1), so that they are included into the base value for calculating the customs taxes (again in simulation).
(If I have the freight condition as a value in the inforecord, then the simulation knows to get the value and includes it in the import pricing schema, otherwise it does not.)
Looking forward to hearing from you or anyone else who faced the same issues,
Monica

Foreign Trade for Freight Forwarding Agents within USA

My client uses foreign trade to export materials from US to outside countries.
I've done all necessary configurations by going through the SAP documentation on Foreign Trade.   It works perfect with key combination of Sales Organization + Bill-to party (where Bill-to party's country is outside USA.
But it does NOT work when we create a condition table with key combination of Sales Organization + Ship-to Party (where ship-to party country is USA).
Material Master (Export Foreign Trade) has already been setup with appropriate commodity codes.
We send customs invoice (boarder broker document) to Freight Forwarding agent (Ship-to Party) whose address is within USA.   And they then take responsibility to export the material to outside USA.
Problem-1: During Delivery creation, the system automatically copies the FT information from MM when the Ship-to Party's country code is outside USA. But NOT for Ship-to Party's country code within USA.
Problem-2: Customs condition table on key combination Sales Organization + Ship-to does NOT work during creation of billing document (VF01 or VF04).   We need this custom so the custom invoice to print automatically using the custom output type.
Need your help.   Please respond ASAP. Points will be rewarded.
Thanks,
Nevill.

Foreign Trade VX99 functionality

Hi all,
I am in desperate need to understand the standard Foreign Trade section in a 4.7 system (main t-code VX99). Would like to use this to help us comply with ITAR requirements but I am totally unfamilar with this area in SAP.
Does anyone have any advice how I could learn more about this or where I could go to have someone do a WebEx demo of it's functionality??
Thank you in advance for any consideration.
Paul

Dear Paul,
The SAP Foreign Trade/Customs component will enable you to successfully expand your international competitive position and prepare yourself for future developments in foreign trade.
SAP Foreign Trade offers you the following core functions:
Use of all import and export processes and efficient integration in the logistics chain
Automatic checking of export licenses on the basis of current regulations
Simplified reporting with automatic procedures for creating, printing, and submitting messages
Identification of the products for preference processing
Efficient handling of business processes using EDI communications
For further information, see also the R/3 online documentation. Accessibility of foreign trade data from all relevant SAP components
VX99:
On the Foreign Trade: Cockpit screen, choose Gen. Processing (Ctrl + Shift + F1).
On the Foreign Trade: General Foreign Trade Processing screen, choose: Environment -> Maintain User Data (or Shift + F6). From here, you can call up Customizing for Transaction FTUS ("Foreign Trade: Control table: User-dependent settings").
Choose New entries (F5).
Choose Default data on the New Entries: Details of Added Entries screen. The system then proposes an object name.
Set the radio button on the initial screen to Enjoy.
Choose Save.
The following activities must be completed by the foreign trade expert each day:
The foreign trade expert must check whether the goods may be exported to the country or customer in question.
The foreign trade expert must use the export invoices to determine which foreign trade data is required for customs (for example, customs office, mode of transport, procedure, commodity code (rating of materials), calculation of the statistical value etc.).
The foreign trade expert may have to check whether the materials listed in the export invoice are preference authorized (create a EUR1 document).
The foreign trade expert may have to adjust the export invoice for customs, in other words, add the foreign trade data to the existing invoices.
The foreign trade specialist must print the required export documents. Export declaration, EUR1, T papers etc.
General Foreign Trade Processing:
Day-to-day documents are checked here for completeness.
After calling up transaction vx99, enter the required data on the Foreign Trade: Cockpit screen. Choose General Foreign Trade Processing (transaction en99).
Potential errors with regard to the "Incompletion log":
Description of errors: "The statistical value of the document item is zero."
This error occurs when a price does not exist for this item (PR00). This is the case, for example, with free goods or higher-level items for a batch split. Since the statistical value in the item cannot be zero for the periodic declaration to the authorities, you have to enter this value here. The statistical value is subsequently entered when the periodic declarations are processed (see SAPcolor Foreign Trade Periodic Declarations for details).
To call up general information on the foreign trade functionality, choose Show/suppress information (or Shift + F1).
On the Foreign Trade: General Foreign Trade Processing screen, go to the Export field on the tab Operative Cockpit.
Hope this will help.
Regards,
Naveen.

Foreign Trade: Balance of payment report for Belgium RFIDITSR00

Hi,
I have done customizing settings for the balance of payment report of Belgium (report RFIDITSR00)
according to OSS note 928316.
When I want to create a file with file name "ITSR_BE_BOP2006" and extension CSV, I get following message:
Format tree ITSR_BE_BOP2006_XML does not exist for tree type ITSR
Message no. DMEE_ABA003
In table IDITSR_DMEE_V I have defined:
Reporting cat: S03CCR
Format tree: ITSR_BE_BOP2006_CSV
What else do I need to customize to get the file created?
Thank you for your advice.
Kind regards,

Hi,
in the copy control between order and invoice you need to set the 'determine export data' to 'B' so that it will be redetermined in the invoice. After that the relevant foreign trade userexits will work as well.

Foreign Trade data is incomplete error while creating accounting document:

Dear laxmipathy&other SD Guru s,
As per your suggestion (you have given an answer for the same question) I have tried to fill up the following fields:
-Business transaction type for foreign trade
-Export/import procedure for foreign trade
-Commodity code /Import code Number for foreign trade
But the system is not accepting it is showing error message again saying that foreign trade data is incomplete.
Kindly help.
Sushil

Hi,
You need to maintain this data in customization. Menu path:
Materials Management->Purchasing->Foreign Trade & Customs->Transportation Data->Define Modes of Transport.
This data needs to be maintained aagainst country "IN' if the plant is located in India.
If useful, pl close the posting.

Foreign Trade / Intrastat - data order-related billing (downpayments)

Hi,
Shortly we have implemented the down payment functionality in our flows. Because downpayments require order-related billing the intrastat/foreign trade data is not copied into the closing invoice.
Apparently it is only possible to copy the data from a delivery.
We are in a make-to-order environment and we still create deliveries but because of the down payments, the invoice is created from the sales order and hence no intrastat data is copied which ofcourse is required ...
Can't find a suitable user exit for filling this data into the billing document. Also tried using copy data transfer (vofm) filling up tables eikp and eipo but that didn't work.
The only option open for me at the moment is creating a proforma invoice automatically from the delivery. This document can then be included in the intrastat reporting.
Is there another solution ?
with regards

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.
Regards,
HAri Challa.

Documentary payment in MM - Foreign Trade

Hi all,
I have a question regarding documentary payment in MM, Foreign trade. In SD module, foreign trade there is a nice transaction regarding documentary payment and letter of credit but in MM module is not set up. When I want to enter vendor code there is no field but only customer. So, my question is, is it possible that transaction in menu for MM - foreign trade have transaction to enter documentary payment like letter of credit without vendor field? or there is some settings to be previously done or some field selection to change to be able to enter vendor and not only customer or is not possible at all in MM to use documentary payments but only in SD?
Thanks,
BR

it is only available in SD.
I dont really see a need for this in pruchasing.
This L/C is a guarantee, it guarantees that you as selling company get your money. You need this Documentary payment in foreign trade to avoid that you sell and ship more than the guaranteed payment, as you may never see any money for the overdelivered quantity.
From a MM point of view, you are just requested to pay when the goods are on the way or have arrived at your site. your bank will not give the money to your vendor if you have not received the goods.,
What would be the benefit of maintaining the same from MM point of view? to avoid that you create orders for more than your bank guarantees the payment? To remind you to open a L/C when the PO is created? (isn't the PO with proper payment terms not already enough )
If you really want to monitor it from MM point of view, then you can create a contract and reference it when creating a PO.

Add a view to the IMG for Foreign trade declaration Belgium

Hi,
I need to make the customising settings for the new report "Foreign trade declartation for Belgium".
This is report RFIDITSR00.
In SAP note 928316 I see which steps I need to carry out.
However, the node "Belgium" is not shown in the Implementation Guide.
Can I add it via transaction SIMGH and S_IMG_EXTENSION?
Can you please advise?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Linda

Hi,
Yes you can.
But do create it as a new Z IMG structure. The reason being that when a support pack or an upgrade is done, this will not be overwritten. However, if you do chose to create in an exisiting structural node, you will need to insert it back again after an support pack upgrade, from SPDD/SPAU.
Cheers.

Foreign Trade Reporting

Hello
We have a requirement to create two customs related reports out of SAP
1. The Foreign Trade Zone report-a report of all items entering and leaving the Foreign Trade Zone over a month
2. The Pedimento report-a report of all duties owed to the Mexican government based on items entering and leaving Mexico over the course of a week.
I can see in SAP's Foreign Trade Module the ability to create Intrastat and Extrastat reports for the EU, but neither of the above reports are standard in the module. I also cannot see a way of using the module to create the reports-so that they do not have to be entirely custom built. Does anyone have experience with Foreign Trade that can advise on the creation of customs related reporting? It should be noted that we do not have Global Trade Service.
Thanks

You have a couple of possibilities here. If you want your SD DataSources for billings and deliveries to have this data, you can append the fields needed to the extract structure and create a User Exit for those respective DataSources through CMOD to lookup on the EIKP and EIPO tables. The other choice would be to create generic DataSources for each table, or if possible create a view of these two tables and create one generic DataSource from that view.
