what is country of your vendor, what is the country of your plant?

if you use storage location with adresses, then what is the country for this location?

if you have a delivering address maintained in the PO, then what is the country?

By default SAP settings are made to have import data tab if it is a business between 2 different countries belonging both to the EU.

you can switch this off in IMG > SD > Foreign Trade > Control Foreign Trade Data in MM and SD Documents > Import Screens In Purchasing Document

here you have following options:

' ' Call up import data screens in the case of EU import only

1 Call up import data screens for every import

2 Never call up import data screens

3 Always call up import data screen

Enter a 2 for your company code, then you will never get this screens

What is country of your vendor u2013 GB, UNITED KINGDOM,

what is the country of your plant? DE; GERMAN

if you use storage location with addresses NOT MAINTAINED

if you have a delivering address maintained in the PO, then what is the country? DE; GERMANY

In SPRO, you can switch this off in IMG > SD > Foreign Trade > Control Foreign Trade Data in MM and SD Documents > Import Screens In Purchasing Document

Value ' ' Call up import data screens in the case of EU import only" is maintained...

Kindly advise.

If the plant, material, vendor and movement are excisable and if there is a tax code maintained in the PO then there will be excise tab in MIGO
