Can we configure the license blocks to be removed automatically after certain time

[Former Member]

Can anyone please help me with the below requirement I came across

The orders currenty have license  blocks (License determination happens in GTS) until license determination that will happen frome external system.  The requirement is to find if thee is any configuration in GTS so that the blocks will be automatically removed after 90 days. The old license determination blocks need to be removed by a program that could be run once a week that would close them automatically if they were over 90 days old

iI NEED HELP IN FINDING IF WE CAN CONTORL THIS BY ANY CONFIGURATION IN GTS

-I appreciate your help with this urgent request

Hi Suresh,

There is no such functionality - sorry.  Did you ask the reason for that requirement?

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the reply.

Requirement is to see if License Determination blocks can be archived after a certain period. Reason for this requirement : Since quotes expire after 30 days (possibly 90 for Export), archiving the license blocks will remove them from the compliance team workfow view.  Can this be done by configuration?  Is a program required?  (Something that would be run once a week to 'close' the unneeded determinations?)

Hi Suresh,

No such configuration is available.  Sure, you could write a program to delete the block entries, but my first consideration would be to cancel or reject the quotations in the feeder system instead, so that the GTS entries were removed in that way.

Is that helpful?

Thanks Dave. That was really helpful.

I have one question here. When you say cancel the quote in the feeder system do you mean to say   reject the  quotations manually?

Any thoughts?

Hi Suresh,

Sorry for not responding - a couple of busy days with clients.  If no-one else can help, I'll try to assist on Friday...

Thanks Dave. You are very

I was asked to prove that I verified enough configuration to prove that it cannot be configured. Which is the closest configuration we can say that it relates to it though this part is not configurable

Hi Suresh,

I configured the scenario in a test system, and tried it out.  Everything worked fine.  My Sales Document was blocked due to Licence requirements, and the block was cleared when I assigned a Reason for Rejection and saved the document.  At that point, the entry in the GTS "Blocked Documents" list also disappeared.

If required, you could perhaps get a program written to reject any un-actioned quotations when they expire.

There is no justifiable logic in why the compliance blocks should be removed after a certain time period - if that were possible, all users could escape checks and responsibility simply by waiting.

It sounds like your bosses or clients don't trust you.  Perhaps you should invite them to study the on-line documentation and find anything that they think could undermine what you're telling them?

By the way, if you do think my responses have been helpful, I think there's a button you can click on .

Dave,

Regards to archiving in GTS can we archive these documents based of date so that after  certain date all the quotes with blocks can be archived. Is there anything that we can do with that functionality. I verified the archiving objects but not sure how it works

Hi Suresh,

I think that might be possible, but I'm no expert in archiving.  You could raise another question on that - maybe some readers may be able to provide the answer.

Hi Suresh,

Yes it is possible. Basically Archivability check program in GTS excutes a RFC FM to decide archiving of a customs document.

Archivability check doesn't verify the blocks/licenses assigned or not assigned in GTS. It just checks the completeness of the R/3 documents.

So, it is possible to archive those old quotations which were blocked in GTS. But you don't need them to be showing up in worklist(provided the R/3 docu. is complete in aspects).

There are some standard set of criterias(last change date less than 90days etc.). I have already debugged the FM. 

In case you need more details, please raise a separate thread/discussion

Thanks

Thanks Dhilipan..

May I know the FM you are talking about

Hi Suresh,

As we said; please raise a separate discussion thread for this, partly because others might be interested and would not think to look here.

Thanks & regards,

Dave
