Foreign Export

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to setup the export controls

where the system checks for specific materials in a sales order and blocks them from delivery if no license exists.

I have defined the

Define Legal Regulations and Assign by Country

Define Types of License Masters

Export Control Class

Define Goods Special Characteristic Code

Define Groupings

Assign Export Control Classes To Groupings

but the system doesnot block the material. i have assigned the export class, grouping and special code in the material master .

I am not even sure if it is possible to do it but from what i read it seems possible.

Can anyone identify the steps in details and order.

thank you.

Hi,

Did you set up data in transaction VE53 and VE58?

After configuring the data, you can try.

do i need to? i mean i want it to apply it for all countries and for certain materials only.

what do i need to select in ve53 and ve 58

Hi,

Make the entry for applicable countries to which you do exports.

You need to enter licenses, which ever is applicable for example validated licenses as VL.

This license needs to be checked in the material master - export data tab -> on legal control button.

By this way you can control the materials for different licenses.

where do i enter liscences? i setup saudi arabia in ve58 with routine 0.

i setup the material master in the legal control button but still no luck.

You need to enter licenses master details in transaction code VE51.

Also make sure, you have entered the legal regulations that applies to countries in tranx VE52.

Once the details are entered here, then you need to pick (under the License type column) the correct license in VE58 against the destination country + legal regulation.

Then at the material master, if the license is not checked then the system issues error.

when will the system issue an error?

What report do i run?

I have setup all the above steps u mentioned.

thank you for all this help i really appreciate it.

Hi,

When you create export sales order, if the data at material master is not maintained, then the system issues error message. You can view the error detail in the sales order -> Extras -> export license -> log.

You can run report for export license blocked sales orders using VE31.

Okay thanks i got that but it doesnt show up in VE31.

Do i need to setup anything in Control Foreign Trade Data in MM and SD Documents in spro?

[Shiva_Ram]

I apologize for forgetting to point out maintaining the license number also.

For legal regulation + license type + company code combinations, in tranx code VX01N, you need to maintain the license number (you can just give numberical value like 300030) and enter all the relavant data like to which customer and country this needs to be applied, then validity date, maximum allowed quantity etc.

By this way, many customers can be controlled with the same license number.

hi i understand that but i want to test it without a license number first so it shows up as rejected.

unfortunately i am missing some minor detail because i configured all the things u pointed.

something is not right.

it doesnt show up in ve31
