Can below be accomplished using ECC Foreign Trade component without GTS

[Former Member]

Folks,

Currently I am part of the blue printing workshop for an European client wherein client has below requirements for which we need help on whether below can be accomplished through ECC FT component or should we need GTS for that. 

1) Export declarations.

2) Integration with customs system(-s): ATLAS (Germany), SAGITTA (Netherlands), PLDA (Belgium) -> SAP GTS provides standard interface to customs. What about SAP ECC FT?

3) Capability of ECC FT to support the binding NCTS standard, e.g., can ECC receive the Movement Reference Number – MRN?

4) Check descriptions for customs (standard text components / individual texts / language) coming out of the currently used MIC-Tool

5) Possibility to support exports from one warehouse in non-EU country A to another warehouse in non-EU country B (currently not performed, but useful in the future to use stock more flexibly and to reduce # of warehouses).

6) Integrated compliance check using ECC FT (SPL check on country and on organizations & individuals)

7) For trading goods: parallel listing of vendor-article-# and Coriant-article-# on sales item level in delivery and invoice?

😎 Use of intra-European Union trade statistis (Intrastat) declaration (legal req.) in ECC FT?

9) Export forms, which they are currently using (also via 3^rd parties, e.g. LSP) – check needed against ECC FT

10) Need for a down and upload-functionality of statistical tariffcode (STAWN)

11) During GR: Need: If item subject to registration and supplier did not register, then Country of

Dispatch and Country of Origin need to be mandatory fields on item level

12) Need for a solution in SAP is required for recording of every customs relevant transaction; legal

req. from German customs authorities (in accordance with audit requirements)

13) During GR: Need to attach scanned inbound documents to the relevant business transaction (to

have all formal and relevant documents stored in a single place and to have it as an attachment

to the German "Zollbuch")

14) Legal requirement in Germany to archive all purchasing documents for 10 years (e.g. Contracts,

Purchase Order, Customs Clearance); archiving system need to be in accordance with audit

requirements

15) Need for an automated calculation functionality of the dispatch country (or CoO) in this

information is unknown (or not maintained), i.e. the "worst case" scenario. In this case system

needs to calculate the most probable CoO automatically (e.g. based on previous information)

16) Need to calculate portion of "US-components" in a product (aggregation/disaggregation of

BOM); if portion exceeds defined value, then export to defined countries not allowed (countries

are e.g. Iran, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Tadzhikistan, Afghanistan); same requirement applies to

China material that should be send India

Hi Chetan,

You will not easily be able to achieve points 2, 3, 5, 12, or 15 without GTS.  The others should be achieved more-or-less by the SAP ERP system.

Hi Chetan,

Best way would be to recommend that your client engages an experienced SAP Foreign Trade consultant .

Sorry if you hoped that I might provide a free FT training course here!  Good luck with the project.

Hi Chetan: You should certainly suggest SAP GTS to your client. You could also indicate the requirement of additional components such middleware (ex -Seeburger) and data providers to meet some of the requirements mentioned.
