Product sales license-Legal control

Hello Gurus,
I need your help for following two issues. I tried researching the issues which gives me very little clue on the approach. If you guys can help me out I will be very grateful.
My client is a pharmaceutical company which requires license to sell particular drugs to particular customers. This is legal requirement. Following are the issues where I am stuck.
1. How can we control particular license for particular state alone.
E.g. If there are 10 customers in the particular state then we should be able to control the sale of particular product to that state only. I know we can control it by company code or country in the license master but not sure how to do it by State.
So for product ABC if we have license for say California, then we should be able to sell it to all the customers in California. System should validate the ship to party state and allow the sale for California alone and should not allow to process the order if the state is other than California.
2. How to control the total quantity of specific product to be sold by particular license to specific customer.
In license master I know we have field for value and quantity. With value field system validates the value but not the quantity. And also we need to have traceability of how much quantity is consumed from that license.
E.g. If we have legal license to sell product ABC to customer XYZ for say 1000 units for liense validity period of say one year. And if we create 10 orders for first 8 months which completes the quota of 1000 units and ten we try to create order with more quantity which surpasses the 1000 unit quota under this license for this customer then system should not allow processing the order.
Also the quantity for each license is limited and there needs to be a full audit trail from the sales order back to the license.
Gurus please help me out in this I will really appreciate your help. Full points guaranteed.
Thank you in advance.

Hi PJ,
Thanks for the input.
But the solution which you have suggested are directly related with transactions and not with license or license master(VX01n) and we use sales orders with license validationin legal control so cant use Contracts. All this thing need to be controlled at license level.
I was thinking something on following lines. Gurus please chip in your recommendations:
1. I was thinking of adding new field in license master for state an dthen have system validate it when that particular license is called in sales order through a userexit.
2. I was thinking to use standard field "Quantity" in license master (VX01N) to maintain maximum quantity that license can sell. And the during sales order creation have user exit to validate this maximum quantity with all the sales order quantities created with reference to this license. If the sum of all quantities associated with this license is more than or equal to maximum quantity maintianed in license master then stop the order. If not then allow the order to be created for the quantity available.
Gurus. please let me know your comments on above solutions.
Thank you.

Key (license nubmer): xxxxx
Validity period not long enough

we tried to extend the validity of license but it is not allowing. can anyone give some inputs on this error.
Thanks,

Hi Abir,
In my situation, the sales order already creted in Dec 2011 and has delivery dates in Jan 2012. And the SO has GTS error and unable create delivery, business user releasing the SO manually by going to VX22N for emergency deliveries. but we need permanent solution.
the license is created under License type NLR (no license required). i dont think, user will accept for creating a new license for this as it is using for couple of years. we are trying to extend the validity of license by going to VX02N but valid From and To fields are greyed out. we also checked the Accepted and Extended fields in Status Tab by giving the future dates but Valid From and To dates are not changed.
Please advise...
Thanks in advance.

Legal Control for export of sales. Consumption of license by sales order

We are running legal control for the export of sales of which we require export licenses for certain parts to specific partners, however, I am having difficulty in gettiing a sales order to consume the license thereby reducing the amount of new sales orders I can raise under the license.
For instance, I have a license to sell 50k and I raise a sales order for 45k, this should then only allow a sales order of upto 5k to be raised unfortunately the consumption is not happening and so therefore all future orders can utilise the license therefore allowing over shipment against the export license, a very serious matter.
I have created a license type that has 'maximum Amount specified' in transaction VE51 but no consumption takes place.
Any ideas?

FT Legal control license locked status

When creating legal control licenses using VX01N the license type is configured with certain items to check such as ECCN number, customer number or destination country. Within those records is a status that shows a lock. The lock is either unlocked meaning it has not been assigned to any sales orders or locked meaning it has been assigned to a sales order.
I have created a particular license type to check internal control of drawings we export our plants around the world based on part number. This means that the check will happen with multiple orders and I want it to release automatically. It seems we find that the first order releases automatically and locks that record but then any subsequent order for the same license red lights and we must manually assign it to the order. Is there any way that anyone knows of the allow multiple automatic releases for a single license?? Is this normal for these documents in SAP to only allow automatic releasing only one sales order or do I have something wrong in my configuration?
All help is greatly appreciated!!! Have a great day!!!
Debbie

Debbie can you explain to me how you configured it. I am on a similar project where the requirement is to allow customer service to create orders but block them from delivering until they are checked. Your solution seems to fit the criteria. We need to maintain liscences and all. I am new to this area so your steps in detail would be helpful.

Its a SAP GTS related error.
I hope you are aware of the License are created under Legal Control in GTS system.
If I'm not wrong, we can maintain License (GTS) by using TCode /SAPSLL/LCLIC01 and if the License is in active mode then can be modified by using TCode /SAPSLL/LCD_CHANGE
If my input didn't assist, then try to post your SAP GTS related query in SCN Forum following, for expertise help on SAP GTS.

Legal control--- legal regulation.

Hi
Can anyone please give the difference between legal control and legal regulation.
I have little bit confusion between these two.
please provide some examples.

Hi Gopala, In legal control maintain master data and business transactions in accordance with the legal requirements for imports and exports. Also use monitoring and simulation tools that help to ensure that your business is compliant with current import and export laws. Legal control includes checking business transactions for products that require licenses, as well as the check for embargo situations for these business transactions. Activate legal control for imports and exports, along with embargo checks. Whereas the legal regulation defines how the system determines suitable export licenses based on the determination sequence, license types (which differ according to the government agency), and the export control classification number (ECCN). Legal regulations for export are based on the country of departure and should therefore be activated to check for export licenses. Legal regulations for import are based on the country of destination and should therefore be activated to check for import licenses. Ashish

New tab for Contract for data about products and product sales.

Looking for ideas to implement a new tab on the Contract (RECN)
We have some basic data about products and product sales that we want to have implemented on a screen tab for a contract. The user needs to be able to enter information about a product, quantity, year grown, and tax info. And then each of these products may have one or many sales records showing date of sale, quantity sold, and a brief note.
So a contract can have 1 or many products and a product can have one or many sales records.
The user needs to be able to enter, update and delete any one of these records. And, ideally, enter multiple of each before saving.
Do any of you have ideas about how to go about this? Using ALV grids? or table controls? I'm still wet behind the ears regarding doing screen development in SAP so am open to any and all suggestiions.
SAP 6.4 is the version we are at.
Thanks
Laurie

Maybe the original order to renew and keep unlimited data was cancelled because it was not an option. It wasn't a "bait-and-switch" The order was cancelled, it wasn't switched. When you called to reissue the order they told you the correct options so they did not switch you without your knowledge. The second rep was correct, he didn't lie, the first rep did. Verizon cancelled the order because if they didn't you would have been set up w/ new 2 year agreements on a tiered data plan, which would have been illegal. Thats why they cancelled it. So you can either not make the change, keep the unlimited data and buy the phones outright. Or switch, go to a tiered plan, and get new phones. By glitch they meant the system accidentally allowed you to keep the unlimited plan, though it was not an option. Verizon has had this rule since they removed the unlimited plan back in '11.

Legal Control functionality for Purchase order

Hi,
We have a requirement where in while saving the Purchase Order, the system should look whether for that material if the legal control data/ foreign trade data is maintained specifying that it is a controlled substance then the licence should be maintained before saving the PO. If the licence is not maintained then the Purchase order should not be allowed to be saved.
In a nut shell, we want to control the saving of Purchase order depending on whether the licence is maintained or not.
This has been done for Sales order. The standard SAP functionality allows the document control.
This can be seen in SPRO - Materials Management - Purchasing - Foreign trade/Customs - Legal control - Document control.
Here we can see that only Sales order and shipping documents can be controlled.
Is there any way we can control the Purchase Ordr also?
Please let me know for any clarification regarding the requirement.
Regards,
Ramachandra DN

Hi Ramachandra,
this kind of functionality is not available in SRM. Have a look into GTS Module, which can be connected to SRM for achiving your requirement. http://help.sap.com/saphelp_gts30/helpdata/en/1d/8082ab7248f74ca09861d9713b9a52/content.htm
All somehow available control, compliance and trade features are available via GTS. Any further need to be accomplished via self development.

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!!
Debbie

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

Business model mapping query (High sea sales) - automatic credit control cn

Our Client imports goods(chemicals & liquids) in bulk... on ships .. (to india)
It sells (the sale is made) before the ship enters the indian waters (territory).. (on the sea itself)
Practically this is what happens: (HIGH SEA SALES)
Invoice is done ( with all the statutary docts), as soon as the sales order is created. Lastly, the delivery happens.
Now, the client wants automatic credit check at DELIVERY LEVEL. ( After the invoicing is done, legally the goods belong to the customer, but our client wants to have a control on delivery, if at all any payment issue arise....
How to do this?
any ideas?

Legal Control : Document Type Mapping not Maintained

Getting an error SAP GTS :Legal Control : Document Type Mapping not Maintained ,while creating order in feeder system .
I checked the configuration maintained SAP Global Trade ServicesSAP Compliance ManagementGeneral SettingsDocument StructureAssignment of Document Types from Feeder Systems-Assign Document Type at Feeder System Group Level
Similarly I checked for item category.
Please let me know what further configuration have to be maintained for correcting the error.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
The document type mapping is required in R/3 system too. You have to maiatain order type say OR/TA in R/3 below path
IMG--> Sales and Distribution --> Foreign Trade/Customs --> SAP Global Trade Services - Plug-In --> Control Data for Transfer to SAP Global Trade Services --> Configure Control Settings for Document Transfer --> SDOA.
Note: If you maintain OR in R/3, you will have to maintain same in GTS. if you maintain TA in R/3, same maintain in GTS.

Legal control

HI gurus,
I'm Configuring R/3 Foreign Trade. i have following requirement.
Requriement:
in sales order, i have entered following data
Sold to= US customer, Ship to= International Address. then system carries legal control.(because ship to is international) and block the order if dint find valid licence in licence master.
My requriement is
System should perform legal control based on
Ship to and also enduser(partner function). (i.e legal control should be active when any of ship to and enduser are international address.)for eg: even Ship to is in US, and End User is Internationl, then legal controll should carry and block the sale order.(standard system is NOT carrying legal control as ship to is in US)
please tell me what programm i have make change and any user exits?
Thanks In Advance.

Hi Saab,
I think you need to put some more information and be more clear on what you want or looking for, so we can help you.
MM03 is a ECC feeder system TCODE, used to display Material.
MM03 is used to just display Material and has no impact.
GTS comes in play when you activate the Legal Regulations (LR) and Legal Controls (LC) for Laws and Materials respectively
Once the LR or LC are activated they screen the material which you use in creating Purchase Order or Sales Order.
Thanks
