HI!

in the cross company sales order, delivery plant belong to a company code which is differenct from the company code of sales org in sales order.

Which company code is used to determine the foreign trade org for the delivery document of the cross company sales order in GTS system?

Thanks

The FTO is always determined by the company code of the document, while the Legal Unit (and country of export) is always determined by the plant. Though these fields were originally meant to do more in GTS, it's best just to think of FTO as another way of saying company code and Legal Unit as another way of saying plant, with simple 1-to-1 mappings.

How is the Legal Unit of the document determined? For example, for a Delivery document Is it based on the Sales Org? For a Purchase Order is it based on the Purchasing Org?

Thanks for further clarification.

In configuration, you map each plant code in SAP to a legal unit in GTS, for example, plant 1000 would map to LU1000US (our convention is to add the plant country code as a suffix).

So, if the delivery plant on a sales order line (or the delivery plant for an entire delivery) is plant 1000, the sales order customs document line would have LU1000US as the legal unit (and all lines of the delivery customs document would have LU1000US as the legal unit). Nothing else is taken into consideration, it's just a straight forward 1-to-1 mapping.

Robert,

I'm sorry. What I meant to ask is How is the "_Company Code"_ of the document determined? Is it based on the sales org/ purchasing org?

For DN its Sales order it is Sales org's copmany code which determines the Company code in GTS while for purchase order it is purchase org 's compnay code which determines company code in GTS.

Kind regards,

thanks a lot for your reply! Do you mean that the FTO of delivery document is determined from its sales org's company code not from plant's company code?

The FTO in GTS is determined from the company code on the sales document (order or delivery). A simple 1-to-1 mapping. The legal unit in GTS is determined from the plant code on the sales document (order or delivery).

Independent of GTS, the company code that a sales document belongs to is determined based on the sales organization of the sold-to customer (or a manually-entered sales organization). But on its own, sales organization has no relevance to GTS.

yes correct the FTO of delivery document is determined from its sales org's company code not from plant's company code.
