Thanks in advance

Hi,

If you are getting this error then:

1. Go to the header of the billing document and choose foreign

trade/customs

2. Click on incompleteness analysis button which will tell you exactly

what is missing.

3. Populate the missing data. This is important if your sale is an

export.

3. Do the same procedure for the item level forieng trade data

4. Once all is complete you should be able to release the document to

accounting

If you're order is an export then most likely for instrastat

declaration purposes you will have to maintain foreign trade data.

This data can include: Export procedure, business transaction, modes of

transport etc..

Majority of this data should be pulled in automatically via the route

determination configuration and via the export group field populated in the material master record.

All foreign traded data are checked against the customizing settings.

-This enables correct processing of export and import processes.

-Export / Import Group determines the Export Procedure.

-If required permitted combination of Mode of Transport and customs office will be checked against customization, If the combination is not allowed we can control to issue a warning or error message.

-In addition we can classify Import and Export Procedures so that for imports only import procedures are there and for exports export procedures are determined.

Thanks
