The system sends the data objects you select in intermediate document (IDoc) format to the system(s) defined in an ALE distribution scenario.

Prerequisites

To transfer foreign trade customs data from a central customs master data system to one or several customs processing system(s), you must first configure your system as follows:

Set up your system landscape in an ALE distribution model based on the foreign trade distribution template.
Generate a partner profile based on the distribution template.
Distribute the ALE distribution model to all systems to which you plan to send foreign trade customs data.
Maintain the partner profiles in the receiving systems.

A Customizing Wizard is available in the Data Service Cockpit that provides step-by-step instructions to set up the distribution scenario.

Procedure

From the Foreign Trade Data Service Cockpit, choose Distribute cust. objects.

Enter the country, language key and select at least one object from the Basic data or Customs data tab as a minimum.
