Structure

This section provides a detailed list of the data relevant for using SAP's Foreign Trade (FT) application component in the following master records:

Vendor master record

Purchasing info record

Customer master record

Cockpit Access: In addition to checking this data from the SAP standard menu paths described below, you can check whether foreign trade data is complete in master records in one step from the General Foreign Trade Processing Cockpit. From the Master data section of this cockpit, you can create, view and modify each of these master records.
