In invoice go to header and select for trade /Customes.. Maintain the mode of transport and go for geography here u can maintain the Export customs office...

Plese refer SAP notes 313188/354222

Check the Sales and Distribution->Foreign Trade/Customs->Control Foreign Trade Data in MM and SD Documents

you will find that some Incompletion procedure is defined

Incompleteness Schemas for Foreign Trade Data VI29

also check Foreign Trade Data in MM and SD Documents and customer exits if any.

If you are facing this in billing, kindly click on one Incomplete anlaysis Icon(broken document kind), it will give you idea what is incompletion procedure used and what all fields are incomplete.

Jitesh,

Thanks for advice.

My requirement is that I should not get this error while creating invoice. I am not interested to specify required field in delivery header/billing header every time.

Ple share your ideas

Dear Shiv

you can change the incompletion procedure as per your requirement so that it want throw error and your configuration will be smooth. I showed you how you are getting it, now you change the incompletion Schema or remove the assignment if not required you will not get error

Still if you have doubt do let us know

Friends,

Thanks for guiding me.

Kindly clear my doubts about this.

1) Is this error comes in to picture if Depar zone and Desti zone is from same country?

2) Is Route determination linked to this issue?

3) Shall I configure route determination for my shipping point?

(of course transportation zone would be maintained then in customer master data)

Ple share your views.

Thanks

Thanks for giving your comments on foriegn trade data.

I got the solution for this.

This error was linked with Route determination. Country for Departure zone & Destination zone was different.

Thanks

in this case foreign trade data should not be applicable/required

foreign trade data is always used if a good is sent from one country to another country, it is always cross border

i.e. Foreign trade data is used in Europe for preparing the Intrastat returns which is always cross border from one EU country to another EU country

i hope it helps and makes sense for you

good news for you

you can define in SPRO a default value for mode of transport depending on the country of arrival and dispatch

here is the path: SPRO- SD- Foreign trade & customs - transportation data - default value for foreign header data

try it out and reward me accordingly

hi,

if u want to default a field value try with transaction variant

Example:

as per your requirement use Tcode: SHD0

and then enter the transaction code VA01

and enter the transaction variant BUS2032

and select the program SAPMV45A

and go CHANGE WITH PROCESSING (F6)

then continue to press ENTER, and change what ever u want to make mandatory or suppress or default a field value. Just try this.

CHAN,

Thanks for reply.

However I don't think this solution helps here.

I want to know the configuration steps functional point of view in order to default "mode of transport" field in delivery header.

Thanks
