foreign trade data incomplete at the time of saving billing document

[Former Member]

Hi

domestic sale:

one sales order-qty-100

1st delivery-20 qty and billing created and released to accounting

2nd delivery-50 qty and billing created and released to accounting

3rd delivery -20 qty and at the time of saving the billing document system gave a message "billing doc 123 saved (foreign trade data incomplete)"

since this is a domestic sale and neither any config changes occured;system should not give this message.

wat would be the reason?plz suggest me and help me out

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I faced the similar problem.

The possible cause of this problem may be:

The User would have tried to enter some Foreign Trade Data value (Eg: Commodity code) in the Header / Item Foreign Trade Data Tabs (Only for that particular invoice). This triggers the otherwise INACTIVE incompletion procedure (for Foreign Trade)

This may not have happened for your other invoices & they would have generated the Accounting Docs as well.

The possible solution is:

Maintain the necessary values manually (As per the incompletion log data in Header / Item --> Foreign Trade Data, next to SET button).

Hope this would answer your query.

Thanks & regds

Hi,

If it is just message (not a hard error), you can go ahead and release to accounting.

It gives message but why?

One thing i want to clear that it is a domestic sale process.so no need to maintain that data.

for 1st delivery -billing released to accounting

2nd delivery-billing released to accounting

3rd delivery -billing not relased to accounting

Go to T code VTFL chose you del type and billing type combination

In the header details maintain BLANK for determine export data

This should solve your problem

Pls keep posted of the outcome

In VTFL it is blank itself

The issue is caused because during the creation of the invoice the user went to the tab 'Foreign Trade / Customs' and filled in some values. It will not happen if the user does not do this. It's the behaviour of the system. This issue is not new to Sap and if you can look for Oss note 354222 - Foreign trade incomplete for domestic business you will find more information.

After let me know if you agree with the analysis and with the proposed solution

I asked to the user whether he selected foreigntrade/customs;the reply was no.
