Hi Hari,

Customs Declaration is created as soon as a proforma invoice is created in the Feeder system provided you have the below settings already in Place.

• In Feeder system:-

1. Control settings for Invoice (Application SD0C) for a particular invoice type needs to maintained and switched on

• In SAP GTS system:-

1. Maintain the legal Regulation for Customs Declaration and activate it for particular (Import or Export) Scenario and for required country set/sets.
2. Mapping and related Settings for Document from SAP Feeder system to SAP GTS Document ( in this case for Customs Declaration) needs to maintained in the SPRO-->General Settings area of the SAP GTS system. This includes both Document as well as Item Mappings.
3. Maintain Numbering scheme for Tariff codes and assign those to the concerned Legal Regulation created earlier.
4. Define Technical medium for messages for general documents and associated conditions in Customs Managemnt area to define the type of Declaration (Print or Electronic) to be used in this case
5. Define Message Scheme and messages for Communication with Customs
6. Define Control settings for Communication Process
7. Define Determination of Activity sequence.

Above are the major steps involved for your query but these may further increase for more detailed configuration and as per the requirement.

Related to your query on declaration to Customs Authorities, in this standard EDI concepts comes into play for electronic Declarations.

Actually for Customs Declaration, we have two options, which are as follows with their passage to Customs Aauthorities:-

Print:- In this documents are printed by company as per the demand and produced as hardcopy or as email/fax to customs Authorities

Electronic Declaration:- In this case, Customs Declaration is converted into an Idoc at the SAP GTS end itself using EDI technology and further through a middle ware it is converted into a format required by Customs Authorities and In a similar backward way, the resposes are receieved at the GTS system.

For your query on coversion of Customs Documents to Customs Declaration, I would like you to take a look at the thread on difference between Both.

Hope I answered it.
