Dear Amol

Go to VF02, input the billing document and execute. From top menu bar, click on "Goto -- Header -- Foreign Trade/Customs". There again click on "Incompleteness analysis" which will be below to "Head.text" tab so that it will take you to the areas where you need to fill in the required datas.

Once you gave all the data and save, you can check the log as "Document complete".

thanks

Hi,

To get the default values for foreign trade data go to

1. IMG --> Sales and Distribution --> Foreign Trade/Customs --> Basic data for foreign trade --> Define Business Transaction Types And Default Value --> Define Default Business Type (SD)

In this step maintain assinments for country/sales org/dist channel / item category / and transaction type combination

2. IMG --> Sales and Distribution --> Foreign Trade/Customs --> Basic data for foreign trade --> Define Procedures and Default Value --> Define procedure default

In this step maintain assignments with the combination of country/sales org/dist channel/division/exp.imp group/item category/ procedure

Apart from the above we need to maintain Comm./imp. code no./country of origin and region of origin at material master

HINT:

Go to VTFL, select your billing type and delivery type and click on blue magnifying lens on top left so that it will take you to a screen where most probably, you would be maintaining "B" for "Determ.export data". Maintain blank field there and save. Now system will not throw incomplete error message.

Best Regards,

Amit.

Dear Amol,

You need not maintain at sale order level but at invoice header, you need to maintain the Mode of Transport (sea/rail etc) and Customs office are need to be maintained. and as well you can follow the suggestions given by others.

Hi,

Amol

First check incompleteness analysis at billing doc in foreign trade tab that which data is missing

1} Also at configuration level (T code=OVE7)

Define Procedure

Assign procedure to Combination of

Country +Sales Area +Export/Import Group + Item category=Export /Import Procedure.

2} For Business transaction type {Define default business type (SD)}

Country +Sales organization +Distribution channel +Item Category=Transaction Type

If you maintain Export procedure & Business Transaction type, then it will not get the error as missing export data.

Hope it will work for you

Thanks
