Embargo release not considered in customs document

[Former Member]

Hi there,

we are just in the process of setting up the embargo check in our landscape.

Everything works fine, but we came to one situation that we don´t understand: we are replicating sales orders to GTS and the in GTS the embargo check is executed. When there is a hit, we check the situation and then release this document. So, no embargo situation for us.

Later on, a pro-forma invoice is created and out of this a customs document is created in GTS. Problem now is, this customs document again is blocked! In our understanding this should not happen, as earlier in the process we already released this case.

Are we missing something?

Thanks, Tobias

BTW: we are also confused if the sales order in the feeder system could be blocked. Sometimes we read that can only be achieved by some coding (note 579357), but then we find infos that you can even display blocked documents in feeder system (Displaying Blocked Documents in the Feeder System - SAP Global Trade Services - SAP Library)

Hi Tobias,

Depending on your GTS version / SP level, following OSS note may help:

1595193 - Embargo: Recheck: Document block despite manual release

Regarrding your other question:

- Blocking subsequent document in ECC can be achieve by applying OSS note 579357. This note will basically do an RFC call to GTS to check if next subsequent document should be blocked. As this check is done through a copy routine and copy routines are defined at item category, you could have a Z item category for which you want to apply the block and hence have some custom code to achieve this (the OSS note provides an example of such code)

- Display blocked document in ECC can be achieved without OSS note or custom ABAP code because the purpose of this transaction is to do an RFC call to check if the current document is blockd in GTS or not.

The technique for both features is the same (RFC call to GTS) but the purpose is different (one blocks the next document and the other shows if the current document is blocked).

Hope this helps.

Hi Mouaz,

thanks for your answer!

Unfortunately the note is not valid for us, as we are already on V11 SP03 and the coding is already in place.

For the second question, thanks for your detailed analysis, that made it clear!

Sounds like a good candidate for an OSS inicident...
