Foreign Trade

[Former Member]

Suppose the business doesnot at all require any settings in Foreign Trade then is it possible to deactivate it in the Project IMG?

If yes, what r the steps and who is authorized to do it?

This is because version 4.7 onwards FT settings are mandatory ...if we do not do it..the accounting doc is not created...it gives error saying foreign trade data incomplete.

Please help me.

Hi

Foreign trade data in billing is mandatory this is due to the settings in copy control header data in the field "EXPORT DATA".The foreign trade data here used is Foregin trade export data,This can be copied to billing from delivery in 3 ways,either you can refer to the export data in delivery or copy from delivery or redetermine export data.

For a quick help process the following,

At the item level in billing,foreign trade/customs,in the origin/destination/business tab,click on the bus.tran.type/proc,select the values displayed and save,automaticaly it will release to accouting,

The foreign data is mandatory for accounting purpose. If you are getting error message,then follow these steps in configuring the foreign trade data

Follow these steps

1)IMG->Material management->Purchaing->Foreign trade customs->Transportation data->Define customs office for departure country and destination countries

2)IMG->Material management->Purchaing->Foreign trade customs->Transportation data->Define modes of transport->for the departure country and destination countries create the mode of transport-border(lik

3)IMG->Material management->Purchaing->Foreign trade customs->Transportation data->Proposal for foreign trade in delivery header(VI95 t-code)->copy the existing one or new entries->Export import should be 2(Dispatch/Export) and enter the destination and departure countries and enter the mode of transport of border and domestic mode of transport which we have created in step2 and enter the office of exit which we have created in step 1.

If you are created delivery from purchase order or stock transport order follow this step also

4)IMG->Material management->Purchaing->Foreign trade customs->Transportation data->Define default data for stock transport order->For shipping point and plant and documnet category(Purchase order or stock transport order) assing the customsof and mode of transport and export import procedure which we have created in step1-2-3.

Reward if this helps you
