Function documentationData Exchange with SAP Global Trade Services

 

You can transfer billing data from SAP CRM to an integrated SAP Global Trade Services (SAP GTS) system in order to do the following:

  • Create Intrastat/Extrastat declarations

  • Create export documents

Letter of credit (LOC) information can also be transferred from SAP GTS to SAP CRM, and can then be entered in sales orders and transferred to billing. For more information, see Integration of Letter of Credit in Sales Orders.

Prerequisites

  • You have set up integration between SAP CRM and SAP GTS in Customizing for Customer Relationship Management, by choosing Start of the navigation path Billing Next navigation step Integration Next navigation step Transfer of Billing Documents to Foreign Trade. End of the navigation path

  • If you want to transfer data for export documents or make letter of credit information available in SAP CRM, you need to implement the service parts management scenario. For more information on this scenario, see Functions for Service Parts Management (SPM).

  • If you want to print the names and addresses of the business partners stored in the letter of credit on an invoice, you need to set up your Smart Forms interface correspondingly.

Features

Letters of Credit in Billing

If a LOC is entered in a sales order, the names and addresses of the business partners stored in the LOC can be printed on an invoice, instead of the details of the sold-to party in the sales order. The LOC is a split criterion for billing documents.

For each billing due list item with a separate LOC assigned, a separate billing document is created.

Activities

Data Transfer to SAP GTS for Intrastat Declarations

You can find the transaction for transferring data on the SAP Easy Access screen under Start of the navigation path Sales Next navigation step Billing Next navigation step Transfer Data for Intrastat to SAP GTS. End of the navigation path.

According to the settings you make for data selection, the report filters and transfers billing data that meets the following criteria:

  • A billing document was created for an Intrastat-relevant business transaction.

    Relevant transactions are those in which goods movement takes place and those in which billing amounts are adjusted (for example, complaints).

  • The departure and destination countries are such that the transaction is relevant for Intrastat declarations.

  • The billing document has been transferred to accounting.

    The report only selects documents that can no longer be changed, since they have been transferred to accounting. This ensures that only final values are transferred to SAP GTS, and that values in SAP GTS are always consistent with values in accounting.
