Combining line items with same Schedule B number in Customs Declaration

[Former Member]

Hello GTS gurus,

One of the AES filing requirement is :

When two or more items are classified under the same Schedule B number, the

Schedule B number should appear only once on the SED with a single quantity, shipping

weight, and value, unless a validated license requires otherwise or, the shipment consists of a

combination of foreign and domestic merchandise classified under the same

Schedule B number.  -

Has anyone implemented this enhancement for generating Idocs in GTS combining multiple line items before sending to Seeburger/AES ? Any pointers ?

Thanks.

Hi Beejoy,

The latest version now includes an Aggregation Schema for USA Exports.  You only need to assign the schema to the Activity Sequence, and it should work perfectly.

Let us know if you need more details.

Hello Dave,

Thanks for your reply.

For US Exports I don't find the Aggregation Schema option.

Process Templ.  USACE   Customs Processing - USA (Export, Import)

Process         CUSEX   Export

Process Activit CUSEX   Export Declaration

Message Scheme  - CUS_US_2

Message : ZAES2

Item Aggregation for Electronic Communication

Item Aggregation Checked  -- The Aggregation schema does not have US Export option....

The only options we have are :

CBEX1 PLDA Export Belgium - Export Declaration

CCHE1 e-dec Export Switzerland - Export Declaration

CDEX1 ATLAS Export Germany - Complete Export Declaration

CDEX2 ATLAS Export Germany - Incomplete Export Declaration

TCSX1 NCTS BE, DK, FR, GB, NL - Open Transit Procedure

TDEX1 NCTS Germany - Open Transit Procedure

We are using SAP GTS 10.0

SAP_BASIS 702 0013 SAPKB70213 SAP Basis Component

SAP_ABA 702 0013 SAPKA70213 Cross-Application Component

PI_BASIS 702 0013 SAPK-70213INPIBASIS Basis Plug-In

Is the Aggregation Schema for US Exports available for 10.0 version ? (Saw Greg's request for US exports Schema in the Idea place - Don't know if this was acted upon)

Hi Beejoy,

Ok, I will try to find more details - maybe it's very new.  Meanwhile, please try one of the other schemas to gain experience of the aggregation; and in fact you might find that your Declarations are sufficiently aggregated by one or more of those schemas.

The schemas don't differ by much, since the idea is always the same.  Commodity Code is always the main criteria for aggregation.  Different countries may have slightly differing requirements for other fields (for example, the "Range of Goods" field is a splitting necessity in some countries, but if you never use that field, it won't matter).

Hello Dave,

Do you know if OSS note was released for US AES for Item aggregation ?

For Sweden, the note for Item aggregation was released in 2013..

1884726

1891858

May be Christin Munick, Michael Shields or Ann Marie can comment if they are aware about US AES aggregation note?

Thanks and regards,

Beejoy

Hi Beejoy,

It seems I was mistaken about a schema for USA - nothing is available yet.  But the important thing is to gain experience with Aggregation in your system.  All of the existing schemas try to combine items with the same Tariff Code (Schedule B number as you call it), and I expect you'd get good results.  Typically, the schemas also take into account many other fields, such as item currency, Country of Origin, Customs Procedure Code, and so on.

Thanks Dave.

I have used the German schema and am experimenting in our system.

We had a request from our Compliance team to aggregate the items with same code - as best practise.. AES is not rejecting the submission even if we declare individual line items.

Is this standard request for US Exports submission ? How others are handling this request ?

Thanks and regards,

Beejoy.
