Checklist for Customizing FT Master Data 

Purpose

Listed below are the areas of Customizing you need to check to ensure you have fully maintained the foreign trade master data, check objects, and proposal objects. Because the system’s defaults depend on settings in Customizing, the more fully you maintain this data, the more complete the data in the purchasing and sales documents will be, and the more efficient the system will be to use.

You can access the Implementation Guide (IMG) to customize your area of interest via your project from the SAP standard menu by choosing Tools ® AcceleratedSAP ® Customizing ® Edit Project. In the IMG, make entries in the appropriate items in the checklist below to ensure that the Foreign Trade application component is prepared for use.
