Foreign Trade message

[Former Member]

SD Experts,

I am doing some testing for one of our Exports products, with an export customer when we try to release it to FI it tells me can't post "Foreign Trade Data Incomplete". We won't be using Foreign Trade. We do maintain a commodity code at a material level but is just to for reference purposes to customs under Comm./imp. code no field at material master.

How can I bypas this functionality? and what triggers it? The country of destination?

Thank You for your help.

Dear Frank,

You may check following settings:

T. Code: VTFL

Select your billing type and delivery type and Click: Header Data (Left-hand Dialog Structure)

On to next screen, under Field: Determ.export data

It might be maintained as "B". Maintain blank field there and save. Now system will not throw incomplete error message.

This field is already maintained as Blank. I did what the other thread suggests and it worked, but do I have to do this everytime/ how can I default so that we never get this error again.

Thank You for your help.

Dear Frank,

I have come to know one solution, while referring few links:

[Deactivate Foreign Trade|http://sap.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sap-log-sd/foreign-trade-error-during-invoice-cancellation-1351861]

An excerpt, from above link:

1)  *T. Code:* VI29

Deactivate incompletion check for each header & item field in your Foreign Trade Incompletion Procedure (T609F-UNVST = 1: Field ready for input - Incompletion check not active)

2) *T. Code:* VI49: 2. Assign Incompletion Procedure to each u201Cexportu201D country and specify system response (at both header and item level) = u201CNo check during document processingu201D (i.e. T609S-UVDIK
& T609S-UVDIP = blank)

Hope, this would be helpful.

Best Regards,

Amit
