Process documentation Transit Procedure for Inbound Deliveries  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Purpose

In Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), you can subject complete inbound deliveries that are transit procedure relevant to a transit procedure. In doing so, you can ensure that the customs authority issues an unloading permission for the vehicles with the goods to be delivered.

Prerequisites

      You have defined reference document categories in Customizing for EWM under Cross-Process Settings  Delivery Processing Reference Documents Define Reference Document Categories.

      You have assigned these reference document categories that correspond to the previous document types you use to a transit procedure and have set the TrsPrcRel (transit procedure relevance) indicator. You do this in Customizing for EWM under Interfaces GTS Integration Define Previous Document Types.

Process

...

       1.      In the case of inbound deliveries that are relevant to transit procedures, you find the previous document number and previous document type in the transportation papers for the vehicle. You enter these manually in the inbound delivery as the reference document number and reference document category.

SAP ERP can also send an advanced shipping notification to EWM that already contains the previous document number and previous document type. In this case, you can change the previous document number and previous document type in the user interface.

       2.      Based on the Customizing settings for the previous document type, EWM determines that the reference document number is a previous document number for which EWM must perform a transit procedure.

       3.      EWM locks the inbound delivery to prevent additional goods receipt process steps from being performed, for example, posting goods receipt.

       4.      If the status type Transit Status does not have the status value Registered in Yard, you set this status manually. By doing so, you ensure that EWM informs SAP Global Trade Services (SAP GTS) about the inbound delivery. To do so, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Extended Warehouse Management Delivery Processing Maintain Inbound Delivery and then the In Yard pushbutton. In the dropdown menu, choose Set Status.

       5.      EWM informs SAP GTS that an inbound delivery exists for which it must perform a transit procedure.

       6.      On the basis of this message, SAP GTS performs an EDI communication with the customs authority. SAP GTS asks the customs authority whether it is permitted to unload the vehicle. The customs authority sends a corresponding message to SAP GTS.

       If the customs authority allows the vehicle to be unloaded, SAP GTS sends a notification of the unloading permission to EWM. EWM sets the status type Transit Procedure of the inbound delivery to the status value Released and unlocks the inbound delivery for additional goods receipt process steps.

       If the customs authority does not allow the vehicle to be unloaded because it is performing a customs inspection, unloading is delayed.

After the customs inspection, SAP GTS sends a notification with the unloading permission to EWM. EWM sets the status type Transit Procedure of the inbound delivery to Released and unlocks the inbound delivery for additional goods receipt process steps.

Note

You can only unload the vehicle and post goods receipt if the inbound delivery has the status value Not Relevant or Released for the status type Transit Procedure.

       7.      EWM informs SAP ERP about the previous document number that you might have changed (see step 1).

Result

You have performed a transit procedure for your inbound delivery. You unload the vehicle and perform additional goods receipt process steps, for example, you post the goods receipt.
