Data indicating whether the customer appears on boycott lists and whether the customer uses the final product for military or civil purposes.

R/3 performs the boycott list check in sales orders and deliveries at the header level and in each partner determination at the item level. The system performs the check independently of the country that added the partner to the list. If the partner appears on a boycott list, the system issues a warning in the sales order and an error message in the delivery.

You can assign a temporary delivery block to a customer to account for special boycott lists that exist within US legislation. These lists also restrict the re-export of goods from the US by all exporters. To assign a block, use the customer master's export block indicator that covers the following lists:

• TDO list (Table of Denial Orders)
• SDN list (Specially Designated Nationals)
• Customer-specific, in-house, internal list

If a customer appears on one of these lists, select the export block indicator.

You can also indicate when the customer was last checked against a boycott list to ensure that the boycott information stays current.

Mainly civil use and Mainly military use defines how the final product is used. According to EU law (Dual-Use-Regulation) and US law EAR, as of November 11, 1996, how a finished product is used plays a decisive role in checking and determining the license type. In Customizing for Legal Control, you can define license types for customers who deal mainly in a military environment. R/3 assigns only export license types that are valid for military use to customers whose area of activity is primarily military.
