Tracking Shipment Number

[former_member227232]

Hi,

Have a requirement where it is needed to track a customer clearance number for the goods that are imported.

This number will be given by the Customs Department when the Goods Come inside the country.

The same Customs Clearance Number has to appear in the Customer Invoice number when those are sold to end customer.

Would like to have your opinion on how to map the above process in SAP.

Regards,

Vengat

Is that the same number as the Bill of entry/Customs invoice number ? if thats the case then the number is captured during customs MIRO as well as during Part2 Posting In the Plant in J1IEX.

and your outgoing excise invoice will refer to this document.

If its not the Bill of entry then you will have to manually track it against Batch Number or some other fields,

This is not for India, Hence no Excise postings.

In Argentina it is mandatory to tract the Customs Clearance Number when doing Sales.

Any other option than Batch Management?

its a Lot dificult without batch management, to track individual lots to which the customs number will refer. you will have to go for an elaborate Z devlopment, something similar to the RG23D functionality to track incoming invoices and outgoing invoices via a foli number.

OR if users are willing to track the customs number manually (outside sap) , then you can just ask them to enter that number in some text field in the delivery/sales invoice document and can print it in outgoing invoice.
