GTS transfer material description from ECC to GTS for Custom Declaration

[Former Member]

Hello,

Can anyone help me with the following -

We have description in billing document for material that is different from material master. We want this to transfer to GTS for customs declaration.

Is this possible? If yes, can someone help with the SPRO steps to do this?

Thanks,

padma

Hi Padma,

In the IMG, follow path:

• SAP Customs Management
• General Settings
• Communication Processes
• Define Control Settings for Communication Processes

At the Process level, there is a setting for Description Origin that controls whether it is pulled from the material master or from the transferred billing document.

Hope that helps.

Dave

Hi Dave

3 options are available over there ,can you please explain the difference between below options

• 'A' - transfer from the document item of the external application, if known
  The system transfers the goods description if it is known in the feeder system and is to be transferred over the interface of the external application to the GTS system.
  If the goods description is not known in the feeder system, the system transfers the product description directly from the product master record.
• 'X' - transfer from the document item of the external application
  The goods description is derived from the short text of the item in the originating document, which the GTS system adopts from the feeder system.

Thanks

Hi Akhil ..,

Yes, sure.  Option 'X' only tries to transfer the description from the feeder system (invoice).  If no description is found there, the description in the Export Declaration remains blank.

Option 'A' is more intelligent: if no description is found in the data from the feeder system, the description is instead taken from the GTS Product Master record.

Of course, it's unusual - generally impossible - for there to be no description from the feeder system, so it's a little academic.  But the option is available.

Hope that helps.

Regards,

Dave
