Outputs on Export Customs declaration

[prashant75]

Hello,

I am not sure if others are facing this but recently while testing AES functionality with CBP following is what came to our notice:

If there are multiple outputs issued that are not processed and later we receive response from CBP all other unprocessed outputs disappear.

Is this the standard behavior and if so why?

Thanks,

Prashant.

Appreciate your response guys.

I understood what each of you explained.

Does this mean by standard design, due to the conditional logic mentioned above, the message types NAFTA COO(P0130), EPL(P0140), COO(P0350), SED(P0360), SLI(P0370) always need to be processed successfully before M0410 gets processed if the intention is for those to be processed in addition to M0410/I1560?

Hi Prashant,

Technically, yes.  But then you would want to configure each of those Outputs so that they DON'T close the Activity.

It might be useful to create an additional Activity for the form printing, but you'd first need to understand more about the process before making that decision.  As always, the system should support and promote the process - you HAVE to understand the latter before you start work on the former.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the confirmation.

Talking more in terms of process been followed, Business intends to do AES filing before or after customs documentation is printed out as the Business scenario here is to deal with the Subcon's.

That said, do you know why the system has been designed to limit from closing the activity when printing out documents could be performed after confirmation from the CBP authorities?

Hi Prashant,

I don't know why the currently-supplied configuration is like that - maybe just to provide you with enough options to configure according to the preferred process?

FYI, I found this "how-to" document that SAP published for GTS 7.2.  It has two separate activities for filing (first) and printing (second).  You may choose to adopt the same arrangement.

I hope your question is now answered, and that you will be able to close the thread.  Good luck with the implementation.

Dave

Thank you ! I have the document you are referring to. Will go ahead and close the thread...

Anybody having this problem while processing more than one unprocessed M0410 message output types that cleans out all except the latest one upon getting response via I1560.

Your response will be really helpful.

Thanks,

Prashant.

Hello Experts,

Let me try to phrase the question differently.

Is it required to successfully process the output types for CI, SED, SLI, COO, etc before processing M0410 or receiving inbound message for I1560.

What I also noticed that the system removes output types CI, SED, SLI, COO when they are unprocessed while inbound message for I1560 comes through.

Thanks,

Prashant.

Hi Prashant,

It sounds like you don't know much about the process or the system.  Perhaps you shouldn't be doing that job?

But let me try to be more helpful...

The incoming I1560 message isn't doing anything special.  But what it IS doing is closing the 'CUSEX' Activity, as designed.  When that happens, the determination of output passes to the next Activity in the sequence.  In this case (unless you've changed the standard settings) there is no next Activity, so no new output determination is performed.  You are then just left with anything that has already been sent or received.

I hope that answers both of your original questions.

Hi Prashant,

I did a quick check for I1560 message. There is only one activity in the process i.e. CUSEX.

In standard setup, I1560 is not setup to mark a particular activity as complete.  CUSEX activity is set to complete only for the following message types NAFTA COO(P0130), EPL(P0140), COO(P0350), SED(P0360), SLI(P0370).

Can you check if this was changed in your system? Is I1560 setup to mark the activity as complete?

If yes, that's where the issue is.

Please let us know if that's not the case.

Hi Dhilipan,

You're right (as usual), but in this case the completion is conditional.  In the inbound processing code, an absence of errors from the Customs authority results in the closure of the Activity.  The need for that conditionality is the reason that the status is not set in the configuration.

Hi Dave,

Thanks a lot for correcting me . I didn't check the code . I  can see the conditional logic in the inbound processing code and setting up of NATYP in /SAPSLL/LCUHD_PPF_INTACTF08
