Legal control for Purchase orders / Foreign trade requirements for MM

[debbie_reed]

We make parts that are military related and we must comply with the US ITAR regulations.

As part of this regulation when we buy components to make our finished goods, the vendors that we buy raw materials from must also be ITAR compliant.

Has anyone been able to do before in SAP by somehow linking a legal requirement to a PO and vendor to see if they comply and if not it blocks the PO or receipt? Can it be done in R/3 or is this something that is handled in Global Trade Services??

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!

Hi Debbie

Are you using QM also ? Then you can do this within standard config & master data in 3 steps:

1) You can define 'ITAR' as QM Infosystem.

IMG->QM->QM in Logistics->QM in Procurement->Define QM Systems (Txn OQB7)

Read the IMG documentation here which is good.

2) Txn:MM01. Maintain QM view for material (QM Proc active and Target QM system)

3) Txn: XK01/XK02; Maintain vendor's QM system in Purchasing data.

OR

QI01/QI02: You can also maintain Quality Info record for vendor/material/plant

combination and maintain a QM system there.

You do not need to use QM additional functionalities or implement QM entirely to use this.

Hi

1. You can block the receipt using QM module.

2. You can block the PO only if you have manually blocked the vendor in XK05. Automatic PO blocking is not possible.

Hope this clarifies.

Thanks
