| # Global trade compliance for sales orders If the Global Trade Compliance check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session and the Export Compliance check box is selected in the Global Trade Compliance Parameters (tcgtc0100m000) session, you can set up information for an item for which export compliance is applicable. When an item is subject to global trade compliance, internal checks are executed to ensure that the export compliance information is valid and the required licenses are available. This is done during sales order line entry, contract deliverable activation, shipment freezing, or confirmation. After a sales order line is checked for export compliance, the success and failure data is logged. If the export compliance check fails, the sales order line is blocked. To allow the exclusion of documents from export compliance checks, you can specify document exceptions. For example, the exceptions can be specified by business partner, country, and document type. Sales order lines When a sales order line is specified in the Sales Order - Lines (tdsls4100m900) session, an export compliance check is executed if these conditions apply: The Internal Check check box is selected on the Export Compliance tab of the Global Trade Compliance Parameters (tcgtc0100m000) session The order type is not used for returning inventory, retrobilling, or consignment invoicing The warehouse is specified The ordered quantity or order amount are more than zero The Subject to Trade Compliance check box is selected for the item in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session The country of the ship-to address differs from the country of the ship-from address If these conditions are met, and no exception is found in the Export Document Exceptions (tcgtc0130m000) session, an internal compliance check is executed for the sales order line. For this internal check, the application verifies whether an export license is available and valid in the Export Licenses (tcgtc0120m000) session. To check quantity or value limits, the sales order line's ordered quantity in inventory unit and net order line amount in order currency are used. Note If global trade compliance applies to the sales order line, the Subject to Trade Compliance check box is selected for the line. Components If the Component Handling field is set to Sales BOM or Component Lines in the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session, components are linked to the sales order line. The compliance checks are executed only for the components that are shipped, and not for the main item. Consequently, the compliance check results are logged by component line. These lines are blocked if a component fails the compliance check: Sales BOM The order line is blocked. Several components can fail the check, but only one sales order line blocking record is generated. The order line cannot be unblocked before all failure results are removed for the component lines. Component Lines Instead of the order line, the order component line is blocked in the Sales Order Line Components (tdsls4163m000) session. Export compliance check The compliance check can result in a success or failure, which you can view in the Document Compliance Check Results (tcgtc1510m000) session. In case of success, the sales order (component) line is saved and the order procedure can start. The compliance check result is automatically approved. In case of a failure, the line is saved and set to blocked. Consequently, the Blocked check box is selected for the line and the line is displayed in the Blocked Sales Order (Lines) (tdsls4520m000) session with the Hold Reason retrieved from the Pre-Defined Hold Reason - Export Compliance Check field in the Sales Order Parameters (tdsls0100s400) session. You cannot use the Blocked Sales Order (Lines) (tdsls4520m000) session to release lines if the hold reason category is set to Compliance Check. To unblock the line, you must update the required data and re-execute the export compliance check, or an authorized person can manually override the export block using the Document Compliance Check Results (tcgtc1510m000) or Override Compliance Check Results Workbench (tcgtc1610m100) sessions. Note On the appropriate menu in several sales session, you can use these commands: Export Compliance Information, to view and maintain global trade information for the sales document in the Document Global Trade Compliance Information (tcgtc1100m000) session Check Export Compliance, to force execution of the export compliance check Related topics Global Trade Compliance Export Compliance Check Export Licenses overview |
