edec CH: Several open questions

[Former Member]

Hello,

we are running the GTS edec solution since nearly 6 weeks now, alltogether it has turned out to be working quite well.

Anyway we have several problems left to be solved, maybe some of you encountered the same topics.

1. The swiss customs authorities have blocked several of the documents for further investigations. Now they demand specific and detailed data about certain shipments. As we are using the item consolidation, we now need a report which is capable of delivering all customs relevant data. We couldn't find a standard report so we are about to start programming a custom one.

For example all reports I have found only deliver the goods value but not the customs value which can (and is) different.

2. We are requesting the electronic tax declaration (eVV) once a week. In some cases the request is rejected, because the document has not the right status on customs side. Anyway the only way to create a second request is to manually repeat the message type M2020, which is very time consuming for the users. The transaction /SAPSLL/PRN_MONITOR is only able to execute unprocessed messages, but no repeat function is available. You know any solutions to repeat executed messages in a PPF surrounding?

3. The swiss customs authorizations provide a XML-Version of the currency exchange rate. I made an query to SAP if there is a possibility to load this exchange rates into the system. Currently this is not available and also not planned. Has anyone an easy solution to this?

Thanks in advance

Benjamin

Dear Marc,

thanks for your reply, that clarifies some issues.

If you could share that documentation how to execute the background job for the eVV would be very helpful. The only way to restrict it to at least 10 days old in the program I'm currently using (/SAPSLL/PRN_MONITORING) is the "created at" date, which can be misleading.

Are you sure that the maintained excahnge rate in GTS are not relevant for the GRWR? As fas as I remember, the system demanded me to enter an excahnge rate in GTS when creating a customs doc. (by creating an invoice in ERP), otherwise the document is incomplete.

Thanks in advance

Hello Benjamin,

1. The Customs Value in an export is the Statistical Value GRWR. which is usually dependent on incotherm. So with the incoterm and the value you can derive the Statistical Value (if you are lucky the GRWR is set to 100% for every incoterm)

2. This is correct, the only way to ask for it again is to do it manually. However, you should set a rule (Variant) to retreive only those Taxation decisions of delcarations that are at least 10 Days old. Because the lead time for the declaration to be processed and rendered accessible is 4 Days (that is if the Declaration enters in transit) therefore you have to take at least 4 Days + lead time between Delcaration creation and anouncement to Customs. At the beginning you had to set this value to something between 10 and 30 days in order to be sure there is no problem. But now that we have the selection, the Decision can be retreived even later.I have a documentation on this if you need further help.

3. That is correct, there is no automatic way. What you can do is create an Excel scheet and then convert it to an uploadable XML. but its not worth the trouble... Actually, the value transferred to the Swiss customs is the GRWR which is allready converted in the Feeder. So for Export, the Conversion you put in GTS is not really necessary unless you convert the GRWR back to the original Currency in the Transfer to GTS, then GTS would convert it back.

Regards,

Marc
