BAFA Disk Creation for a Collective Export License 

Use

Goods that are shipped using a collective export license must be declared to the Bundesausfuhramt (BAFA) (Federal Export Bureau in Germany) on diskette for each declaration period. This function enables you to create a disk with the most current BAFA structure.

The declaration program (SAGERF) that was initially provided by BAFA for this purpose is no longer used. BAFA has changed the declaration structure and there is currently only one interface definition for businesses that use the collective export license.

Activities

You create a diskette using the BAFA structure in a two-step process:

  1. Create a file
  2. Create the diskette.

Access

You access these functions from the Legal Control Cockpit or from the SAP standard menu by choosing Logistics ® Materials Management (or Sales and Distribution) ® Foreign Trade/ Customs ® Prohibitions and Restrictions ® Declarations ® Create BAFA file and Create BAFA Diskette.

When you create the BAFA file, if you select Issue Log, you can execute the second step to create the BAFA diskette directly from the Log display.
