Not able to transfer Material documents to GTS 10.0

[prashant75]

Hello Experts,

So far I have been able to transfer Sales Order, Delivery, Invoice & Purchase Order to GTS 10.0 w/o any problem by activating the document transfer BADI's in ECC. For some reason though, I am not able to transfer the material documents that get generated as a result of movements using transaction MB11.

Although, I am trying to do one of the movements from the pre-delivered movement types in Config., it does not transfer the document over to GTS.

With the help of ABAPer, upon debugging the Initial transfer program for Material document transfer that gets run through /SAPSLL/MENU_LEGALR3, I found that SAP has hard-coded to transfer only document types that are <> 'WA' - Transfer postings.

Unfortunately most of the movement types that are listed in the standard config or even the receipt movements I am intending to do by default picks the Tran/Event type as 'WA' while doing material movements from one plant to another.

Any idea on how I can make the Material movements get transferred over to GTS?

Thanks,

Prashant.

Hi Prashant,

From your posting, it's not clear to me whether you are talking about the intial transfer of Material Documents or real-time transaction processing.  There are considerable differences and restrictions in the "initial transfer" programs.

If your question is about real-time processing, then please see if you can post the same Movement Types using Transaction MIGO instead of MB11 - that may reveal whether the problem is related to the particular Transaction or not.

Best regards,

Dave

Dave,

I've tried MIGO, MB1A, MB1C and finally MB11 to do transfer postings from Plant to Plant but none worked. One other thing I wanted to tell is, for all other documents (SD0A, SD0B, SD0C, MM0A) the rfc to GTS gets called except for MM0C.

Based on the above information if there is something you know of would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Prashant.

Hi Prashant,

Ok, so I guess you're talking about real-time processing.  You also don't mention WHY you want to transfer Material Documents, or which ones are failing.  Are you using Customs Management, and trying to create Import Declarations after Goods Receipt, or is this for some other purpose?

Assuming the former, you need to make sure that Movement Type 101 is configured to trigger Customs Management processing in the feeder system.  Make sure that you are posting the Goods Receipt against an Inbound Delivery (since you mention Transaction MB1C, and don't mention documents under MM0B, I wonder if that is the problem?), and that the Foreign Trade data in the Delivery header has a Preliminary Document number and a Preliminary Document Type that is configured in GTS to determine status "duty-unpaid".  If all of that is in place, then your postings should start to appear in the work-list.

Best regards,

Dave

Dave,

This is certainly for Customs management but not from imports perspective. This is when goods are to be moved out of the plant and export documentation is required when movement is carried out from plant1(country A) to plant2(country B) using material movement transfer postings.

Hi Prashant,

For Export documents, it's usual to transfer the (proforma) Billing Document to GTS and produce the documents from the resulting Export Declaration document.  Billing would be against the Outbound Delivery for the despatch of the goods.

In those cases, the Material Documents for the Goods Issue postings should transfer as entries in table /SAPSLL/CUSWLA, to balance the comparison report between Customs Declarations and Goods Issues - is that where you are looking?

Whether or not the transfer is working, I can't see how you could create any documentation from Material Documents that are transferred in this way.  Instead, I think you will need to re-engineer the processes in the ERP system so that you can work in the standard way described above.

Dave

Hi Dave,

The Customer operates in a Contract manufacturing(CM) process model.

In my example the CM manages all the inventory for the Customer that is owned and transacted by the Customer but through the CM.

I have already implemented the solution for EXPORTS from OTC perspective for Delivery based shipments and everything that you mentioned is handled in that process.

There are situations though, when stock movements are done within the company across plants that are physically located in different countries which currently is done by the CM and eventually will be done in SAP as part of Material movements transaction per the design by the procurement team. Since the physical shipment is going to be carried out by the CM, the AS-IS documentation that currently is done manually needs to take place in SAP for trade requirements in X-border situation.

In order to achieve this, I am utilizing 'MM0C' option that SAP has provided to check out how material documents getting generated in ECC get transferred to GTS and where they reside in GTS.

Having known the picture now, do you have any idea on how this can be achieved.

Thanks,

Prashant.

Hi Prashant,

No, not really - sorry.

Provided that you configure the Movement Types as "regular" in the Plug-In, they should transfer to GTS and appear in table /SAPSLL/CUSWLA.  Please check if that's the case.

But I have no idea what you should then do to use the postings to create Export Documentation - certainly nothing standard is available for that.

Hi Prashant,

You must activate the BADI related to application level MM0C to transfer the material documents to GTS.The BADI SLL_PI_MM0C_TRANSFER will integrate goods movements with GTS otherwise you cannot integrate the applicatiion level MM0C with GTS and not able to transfer material documents to GTS10.0

Hari,

Appreciate your response.

I have already done all the required steps from activation standpoint to have the document flown into GTS. It's still not doing what's expected.

Please let me know if there is anything beyond this that you can help with?

Thanks,

Prashant.
