GTS does not pull over the value for a Demo Unit

[Former Member]

Hello everyone: I am hoping I can some advice on this situation please.

We are using GTS 7.2 and also ECC 6.0

We have a sales order type ZDEM that we use for our demo units to go out to the customer. The customers have the option purchase these units; however the demo unit is no value on the sales order but we created a pricing condition called ZNET on the ECC side to bring over the value to GTS . The ECC side works fine...however I need to show the value of the unit on the GTS customs documentation for the demo units. There is a license that this is to go to and the license is there in the maintain licnese....and has value and also has qty available for that license. When you look at the blocked for export and look at the sales order there is nothing to assign the value in the dialog box. We can assign manually The sales order type is mapped in GTS. All other sales order types work just fine. It is just the Demo orders that do not pull over any value for the demo unit. I can add the value manually and that is what we are doing for the time being. I need to have the system automatically add the value for me and should not be a manual process.

Few questions:-

1. Is ZNET a manual condition type?

2. Does it alter the net value of the sales order?

3. Is the net value of the sales order zero for demo units?

4. Where do you add the value in the system?

5. How do you convert the demo unit order to a actual sales order, as mentioned if the customer wants to purchase it - i mean the process?

Hi thanks for answering...I appreciate it...Please see my responses below

1. Is ZNET a manual condition type? Yes

2. Does it alter the net value of the sales order? Yes

3. Is the net value of the sales order zero for demo units? no it is .01

4. Where do you add the value in the system? if I am understanding this question correctly... In ZNET we list all the item categories that are used in the VK11 transaction at 100% of the value; it is set to calculate at 100% of the price.

5. How do you convert the demo unit order to a actual sales order, as mentioned if the customer wants to purchase it - i mean the process? The demo is virtually rec'd back into our stock and then we create the sales order in reference to the demo order.

Ok, so there is a net value for all the demo orders and you are creating another sales order with ref to the demo order, delivery, invoice right? Is the license getting determined properly for those sales orders which are created with ref?

If i understand correctly a demo unit belongs to your ownership whether its at customer's place or your own place.

What are the item category used w.r.t ZDEM document type? Are those mapped to GTS item category (example EXPORD1)?

Also at GTS - SPRO -. SAP Compliance Mgmt -> General settings -> Document structure -> Activate item categories.

Here check the item category used for Legal control and check the value depreciation (which should be either deduct/add to license) as per your business requirement.

Hello Again:

Thanks for your punctual response.

Item category used on the ECC side is ZWAR and is also mapped to GTS. ZWAR is also mapped to GTS. ZWAR is copy of TAW. In GTS ZWAR shows in SD0A Logiscal System Group in GTS

Yes, if the customer wishes to purchase the demo and we create an order with reference...yes it does get determined just fine. It is only the ZDEM order itself that is not getting determined. W

I have the following set up in the menu path GTS - SPRO -. SAP Compliance Mgmt -> General settings -> Document structure -> Activate item categories.

Here check the item category used for Legal control and check the value depreciation (which should be either deduct/add to license) as per your business requirement.

Item Category = EXORD1

Value depreciation = Allocation: Deduct from License

Quantity depreciation = Deduct from License

depreciation Group = SD0A01

SD0B01 is set the same way...

The indicator for aAdopt Legal Control data from preceding iitem is not selected

The config seems to be ok. What is the License type it should determine automatically? Whats the log for these demo orders? You mentioned that the license is already available and you assign manually the documents to it, I think you would require to have a determination strategy in place with a product grouping for demo units.

Abir: Thanks for your response..Very much appreciated as this has been an issue for quite some time....

DSP5 - is the license type that should get assigned automatically. In the license the indicator for value and qty update is selected I am not sure I understand your question about the "log for demo orders". I also am not sure what you mean by determination strategy. I am quite new to GTS sorry. For ITAR License type DSP5 the status is as below

1 0001 0 License Created

2 0002 0 License Application Submitted to Authorities

3 0003 0 License Application Rejected by Authorities

4 0004 0 License Active

5 0005 0 License Submitted for Extension/Renewal

6 0006 0 License Expired

____ ____ ____ ____________________________________________________________

I noticed that the details of the statuses are different for each status Could this be an issue?

They are like below:

SEQ number 1 Status 0001 point of access 0 Description License Created

Value Optional entry

Quantity Optional entry

Validity Optional entry

Ext. Number Optional entry

1. You would need the license to be in active mode (as mentioned in the status of license). Its a radio button, select the active mode for license thru change license for DSP5

2. Determination strategy : GTS Area Menu -> Compliance Mgmt -> Legal Control Exp/Imp -> Maintain Determination strategy (Under embargo - right side). Here maintain the determination logic for system to automatically determine the License DSP5 in your case

Do it in your test environment and see the results.
