Retransfer of ECCN from GTS to ECC System

[Former Member]

We have uploaded ECCN Codes via XML file provided by 3rd Party in GTS and classifyed the products by assigning the ECCN numbers in GTS. Now we need to transfer the ECCN maintained in GTS to SAP R/3 specific to a Material which will enable the corresponding Sales Proces to pick up this information and print them on Delivery and Billing documents in ECC R/3 system. Please let us know how to perform this process.

Thanks you in advacne..Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Ashok,

We ran into same need, basically we wanted to print ECCN and HTS in our Commercial Invoice...what we did we have called a standard BAPI (FM)in out put program which will bring the required data from GTS , same BAPI we have also used for our reporting.

I can check that and send you if you are still in search.

Thanks

Hi Ashok,

If you have used method B suggested by Dave, could you share the program with me?

Thanks

Hi Satish,

As told by Dave, there is no Standard Program to retransfer the ECCN from GTS to ECC. but we have the Standard Program for Commodity and Tariff Codes transfer to ECC.

we also have the same requirement for our Legal Purpose. hence we developed custom program to retransfer the ECCNs of the Products from GTS to ECC. we scheduled the Job with a frequency of once in a day. hence the job will check the data if any of the products classified for ECCN, then it will transfer those data to ECC . and in ECC another Custom Program will run through Batch Job and update the data of the ECCN in MAEX table for the relevant products.

hope you need to take the help of your technical consultant to achieve this.

Hi Srinivas,

Agreed

Are you able to share the custom program with me?

Hi Satish,

Sorry to say that i cannot share the program. i can share you what we did to achieve this. we have copied the Commodity Code/Tariff Code re transfer program and did changes to that customized program as per our requirement.

the Standard Program:/SAPSLL/STAWN_RETRANSFER is used for re transferring the Commodity/Tariff Code Classification data to ECC. it will check the Legal Regulation and Classification Date of the Products and then maintain the products (already Classified products) and execute it. then the program will transfer the data to ECC.

now in ECC another Program: /SAPSLL/STAWN_RETRANSFER_R3 executed to update the data in to Master data tables in ECC.

so, with the help of our Technical Consultant we achieved our requirement. As i remember ,in ECC you need to change the table as MAEX instead of MARC,

once you did then the ECCN numbers will be updated in the Material Master->Foreign Trade Data-> Legal Control.you press the Legal Control button and there you can view the data of the ECCN.

hope you are clear now , please mark if it is helpful for you.

Thanks,

Hi Srinivas,

Understood, thank you.

I had similar plans i.e. to make use of existing logic for HTS

Thanks for your help

Hi Satish,

i would suggest you to do a test in your Sandbox or Test system and then implement the same in your Dev and other systems as well once it is working as per your requirement.

Hope you got some idea on how to achieve it .

Hello Ashok & Srinivas,

We went live with this feature and works like a charm. If you would like any inputs, please let me know.

Hi Ashok,

As correctly mentioned by Dave, there is no standard process available for getting the material-ECCN codes transferred from GTS back to ECC system.

We've met some similar requirements in the past using ALE distribution methodology and custom developments .

You can look forward to develop a custom RFC in ECC that would be triggered by GTS post product classification runs. This will update the MAEX table in the ECC system with the recently classified product .

Feel free to get back to me to discuss ahead.

Hi Ashok,

I don't think there's anything available as standard. Is this required to meet some legal requirement, or just to satisfy a particularly demanding customer?

In terms of approach, I guess you have 2 choices:

A. Call GTS to get the ECCN for each Product during the Print run in ERP.

B. Transfer the ECCNs to ERP as Master Data, and use that data on the print forms.

Choice A will require an RFC to be made during the Print Program. For good performance, you should make one call with all of the Products in the document.

Choice B will require an RFC in the other direction, based on a new program in GTS. You should populate table MAEX in the ERP system.

Hope that helps,

Dave
