New BAFA Structure in Legal Control 

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. 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 those who use the collective export license.

Procedure and Access

With this release, you can create a diskette using the new structure in a two-step process. In the first step, you create a file, and in the second step, you create the diskette.

You can 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 the field Issue Log , you can execute the second step to create the BAFA diskette directly from the Log display.
