Create GTS Customs Declaration for Drop Ships

[former_member413225]

Hello,

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to create a GTS customs declaration for a Third Party Drop Shipment?

For standard shipments we use the standard F8 proforma via the delivery from our ERP system. This is where all of our logic sits to populate the information needed in the customs declaration to create our customs forms.

Our core SAP system is still rather old and pre Business One so the Third Party drop ship warehouse is not a possibility.

Hoping someone has had to do a workaround process in their past.

Hello Dee,

Is the Third Party a related partner (a sister business unit)? If not, shouldn't the Third Party do the filing as the USPPI?

Just want to understand the environment.

Regards, Dean.

Hi Dean,

Appreciate the comment.

Our supplier will be shipping to our freight forwarder and I am told we are the exporter of record in this scenario so we are supplying the customs documents to our freight forwarder. This means we get and ASN from our supplier then have the need to kick off the customs documents from our GTS system.

Hope this helps to clarifiy.

Hello Dee Anne,

Well, just thinking out load, you could take the ASN and create a pro-forma (similar to your invoice topic, "invoicing the sales order"). Question is that will you have all the information. Are you direct-filing(with Customs) or paper-filing(With Broker)? Depending on your answer, you need to make sure you have the information for the type of filing you are doing.

Also, if you paper-filing, how are you going to get the export documents to your forwarder?

I hope this helps

Satish, Thank you so much for your quick response!

We are the exporter of record so we need outbound customs documents. I thought the F8 proforma was for delivery related transactions. You have given me something to think on though perhaps with an outbound delivery from PO no inventory postings?

Hello Dee Anne,

For inbound (if you are the importer of record) although the vendor is shipping to the customer directly:

For the PO that is created (as a result of the PR from the sales order), create an inbound delivery although no goods is received. This inbound delivery will then show up in the work list for the creation of customs declaration. Don't be surprised to see that the no goods movement indicator is turned on in the inbound delivery, this happens for the obvious reason it is a drop ship.

For outbound:

Create proforma from the sales order (type F8). Use this proforma to create the customs declaration.

Satish
