Partner Function WE (Ship to Party)

[former_member1227764]

Hello Gurus,

we maintain partner functions at GTS, i.e SP, WE, VN ..etc... as we know these indicators controls the goods direction...

WE is ship to party - we have to choose option 2-"Export  / dispatch".. correct me if i am wrong please.

My Query is... if we choose option 3- Import / arrival and export / dispatch...how this helps? if possible one example please.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Pradeep,

It would be ok to choose '3', but it wouldn't help.  You shouldn't need a Ship-to Party in an Import Declaration or inbound document.

In a Customs Declaration, you need to provide all partners that are mandated by the Customs Authority.  For compliance checking, you need to consider all relevant partners that might give rise to concerns by your trading partner or the Compliance Authority.

Hope that helps.

Hi Dave,

As always Thanks for your help!!!

yes I agree, we can use (Export/Dispatch) for Ship to party and for Vendor (Import / arrival) is for Destination country.

you mean, To appear all the partners at commercial invoice (XCINV) message ?

But still not able to figure out for which scenario we can use for option "3- Import / arrival and export / dispatch" ?

we have used option 3 for all the cases.

could you give me an example please ?

Thanks & Regards,

Pradeep

Hi Pradeep,

The Declarant would need to be '3', since all Customs Declarations require that partner.

And if you have Forwarding Agents, those may also appear in both Import and Export Declarations.
