An interface to manage foreign trade product classifications.
A foreign trade product classification is the assignment of commodity codes required by authorities, to goods traded by a company.
The web service interface Maintain Foreign Trade Product Classifications enables you to classify the material with commodity codes based on the commodity catalog for foreign trade or statistical purpose.
The web service interface Maintain Foreign Trade Product Classifications offers the operation Maintain Bundle.
Configuration Settings
Material classification is enabled in your solution configuration. To find this business option, go to the Business Configuration work center and choose the Implementation Projects view.
Select your implementation project and click Edit Project Scope. In the Scoping step of the project, ensure that Materials is selected within Products, which is selected in General Business Data.
Communication Arrangement
In SAP Business ByDesign, go to the Application and User Management work center -> Input and Output Management -> Communication Arrangements and create a communication arrangement between your company and the manage material classification service.
For more information, see the Communication Arrangements Quick Guide in the Help Center of SAP Business ByDesign.
Maintain Bundle operations enable external applications to create and change business document data.
Action Code
Action codes represent an instruction to the recipient of the web service request to process transmitted message node elements.
| Action Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 01 | Create; the system returns an error message if the node element already exists. |
Communication Timeout
Maintain Bundle operation is mass-enabled stateless synchronous web service operation. Transferring or requesting amounts of data that are too large causes communication timeouts. The web service consumer is responsible for ensuring reasonable sizes of data for mass operation.
Response Message
The structure of the response message consists of two parts:
A business document-specific part containing information about IDs and UUIDs of the created and changed business documents
Log items containing system messages including errors, warnings, and information messages raised by the system during processing of the web service request
