Loading of Commodity Codes and Import Code
Numbers 
Use
This function copies commodity codes into the SAP System from external files available from the customs authorities. It saves you the time required to manually enter these codes in the system.
Integration
Once they have been loaded into the SAP System, the codes and their descriptions can be used throughout the system. For example, you can match them with materials in material master records and print them in foreign trade documents.
The system stores goods numbers and their descriptions in tables T604 and T604T (Foreign Trade: Commodity Code / Import Code Numbers).
Prerequisites
Before the function can transfer the codes into the SAP System, you need to:
· Make sure that the file containing the codes and their descriptions is in ASCII format
· Know the structure of the file from which the system will copy the codes – which columns the codes, the text descriptions and the units of measure (if available) occupy.
Features
You do not have to load all codes into your system. If you want, you can load only the chapters relevant to your business.
You
can overwrite all of the system’s existing codes or add only the new
codes.
For example, suppose the system contains the codes 100 and 101 and the set of codes you want to load contains codes 100, 101, and 102. You can do one of the following:
· Load only the new code, 102, and ignore codes 100 and 101
· Load the new code and overwrite the existing information for codes 100 and 101
