GTS - Permanent Imports Batch Split

[former_member449516]

All,

We are seeing inconsistent system behavior in GTS for batch splits.

When processing re-exports from the proforma invoices, we see the batch split delivery with each batch represented per delivery line item. We also see this for our bonded warehouse declarations (prior to GR).

However, when we process domestic goods issues into free circulation from the bonded warehouse, I am selecting multiple schedule lines in the worklist. If the items share the same stock number, but a different batch, it still only creates 1 line in the free circulation declaration.

Please note, I have found multiple threads on the batch split for re-export, but this system behavior only seems to impact Domestic Goods issues, AKA permanent imports for free circulation declarations.

How does the system distinguish these within the material documents? Is there a configuration in R3 or GTS which would impact this behavior?

Please advise. I'm happy to share some of the screenshots if needed to provide more context but as of now just looking for feedback from anyone who has had this same issue.

Thanks,
Kyle

Hi Kyle,

I very much agree with Mouaz, unless you have not described the situation correctly or completely.

The data transferred from your feeder system to GTS is already split by the transactional documents in the feeder system (Delivery and Billing Document). That is also true for the Domestic Goods Issues, which are transferred into GTS table /SAPSLL/CUSWLE, but those Goods Issues are combined in the background step "Process Domestic Goods Issues". That program takes the individual (per batch) Material Document items and determines the CWH stock "Closing Portions", which are most usually held at the Product (Material) level. The subsequent Import Declaration items are therefore combined where the Closing Portion has sufficient stock to cover all of them.

If you wanted to have one batch per item in the Domestic Issue Declarations, then you could make use of the "Additional Stock ID", which can hold the Batch number or any other identifier up to 20 characters. Then the Closing Portion determination would become batch-specific.

Regards,
Dave

Hi Kyle,

From a very high level perspective, I am noticing from your explanation that the re-export and import into bonded warehouse splits are happening because these 2 types of processes in GTS are based on documents integrated from the feeder system (Re-Export triggered from the pro-forma and Import before GR triggered from the PO/IBD). On the other hand, the domestic issue from BWH is solely happening in GTS, without integration from ECC.

So may be the simple answer is the batch split is *only* done in ECC?

Hope this helps.
