  1. Business Scenario

    This how-to guide describes the detailed configuration for integrating SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) based on SAP S/4HANA 1610 (or higher) to an SAP Global Trade Services (GTS) system.

    It covers the following aspects of the configuration:

    • Configuration of system connection between EWM based on SAP S/4HANA and GTS

    • General configuration steps in EWM and in GTS

    • Detailed configuration steps in EWM, for the outbound, the inbound, and the scrapping processes

    • Description of the different processes from an EWM point of view

       

      A usual system landscape with EWM and GTS contains 3 systems: an enterprise management system (such as SAP S/4HANA or SAP ERP), an EWM system, and a GTS system. EWM on SAP S/4HANA has two main different deployment options: embedded and decentralized. In the embedded case the enterprise management system and EWM are in the same S/4HANA stack, however GTS is always in a separated system.

       

      Note

      In this guide, for the sake of simplicity, the enterprise management system is always called ERP system, independent of it is an SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA system.

       

      Note

      From a GTS point of view, there is always a so-called feeder system in the landscape. In case of a 3- system landscape, this feeder system is always the ERP system, while in the 2-system landscape, the feeder system is ERP and EWM in the common S/4HANA stack.

       

      Important

      This guide intended primarily for the integration between the EWM and GTS systems. In order to establish a complete landscape, the integration between the EWM and ERP systems and also between the ERP and GTS systems are necessary. If you need further information about the configuration steps for them, you can check the following documentations:

      Integration Guide for SAP Global Trade Services

      Overview of Guides or Best Practices Documents for Extended Warehouse Management

       

      Prerequisites

      Before you continue with this how-to guide, make sure it fits to your EWM deployment option:

      • Option 1:

        • Decentralized EWM on SAP S/4HANA OP 1909 or higher, linked to

        • SAP ERP 6.0 EhP 3 or higher

      • Option 2:

        • Decentralized EWM on SAP S/4HANA OP 1909 or higher, linked to

        • SAP S/4HANA OP 1610 or higher, used as global enterprise management system

      • Option 3:

        • Embedded EWM on SAP S/4HANA OP 1610 or higher

          For the SAP GTS system in your landscape, the minimum release is SAP GTS release 11.0 or higher.

           

          Important

          This guide contains steps and customizing options which are not available in all releases. In these cases, the differences are mentioned explicitly in the text.

           

  2. Configuration of the System Connection

    You use this process to configure the system landscape settings required for the queued remote function call (qRFC) communication between EWM and GTS.

     

      1. Background Information About System Landscape Settings

        You use this chapter to gain an overview of the system landscape entities used in the integration of EWM with GTS.

         

        Overview of System Landscape Entities

        The following table provides an overview of system landscape entities required for the integration:

         

        Entity

        Setting Level

        Customizing Transport

        Comments

        RFC Destination Example:

        GTSCLNT001 EWMCLNT001

        Cross-Client

        No

        Technical setting for RFC and qRFC communication; Naming convention: <SID>CLNT<CLIENT>;

        Logical System Example:

        GTSCLNT001 EWMCLNT001

        Cross-Client

        Yes

        Technical setting for RFC and qRFC communication; Naming convention: <SID>CLNT<CLIENT>;

        Can be created in the System Landscape Directory;

        The logical system is assigned to the RFC destination; Own logical system assigned to client.

        Business System Example:

        GTS_001 EWM_001

        Client

        No

        Used in EWM for transactional data; Naming convention: <SID>_<CLIENT>;

        The business system is assigned to a logical system;

        Can be created in the System Landscape Directory; Own business system assigned to client;

         

        Important

        Using the System Landscape Directory (SLD) for maintaining logical and business systems is optional. Without SLD you can locally define the necessary systems.

         

      2. Prerequisites for the System Connection

        System administrators must make specific settings for the Remote Function Call (RFC) connection between GTS and EWM before any Customizing activity is carried out.

        Contact your system administrator to make sure that the following prerequisites are met:

        • An RFC user exists in each target system/client defined as RFC destination.

        • RFC destinations exist between the corresponding GTS and EWM clients.

           

          Procedure

          1. In the EWM system, create an RFC destination (ABAP Connection) for the GTS client in Customizing for SAP NetWeaver under Application Server IDoc Interface / Application Link Enabling (ALE) Communication Create RFC Connections using the naming convention <SYS>CLNT<CLIENT>, for example GTSCLNT001.

             

          2. In the GTS system, create an RFC destination (ABAP Connection) for the EWM client in Customizing for SAP NetWeaver under Application Server IDoc Interface / Application Link Enabling (ALE) Communication Create RFC Connections using the naming convention <SYS>CLNT<CLIENT>, for example EWMCLNT001.

           

      3. Cross-Client Settings in GTS

        You use this process to prepare GTS for the communication with EWM. The settings affect all clients of the GTS system and require authorizations for cross-client settings on user and client level.

         

            1. Configuring Logical Systems in GTS

              You use this procedure to define the logical systems in GTS.

               

              Procedure

              Carry out the first step of the procedure in your GTS customizing client allowing cross-client settings, and transport the settings to other GTS systems, if necessary (for example, GTS test system, GTS productive system). Carry out the subsequent step in all GTS systems (in a client allowing cross-client settings) that you want to connect to EWM.

               

              1. Define a logical system for your GTS client (for example, GTSCLNT001) and a logical system for your EWM client (for example, EWMCLNT001) in Customizing for SAP Global Trade Services under System Communication Define Logical System.

              2. Assign the GTS logical system defined in the first step to the GTS client (for example, in system GTS, assign

                GTSCLNT001 to client 001) in Customizing for SAP Global Trade Services under System Communication

                Assign Logical System.

                 

                Example

                In a landscape with a GTS customizing system (for example GTC, client 001), a GTS test system (for example GTT, client 001), and a GTS productive system (for example GTP, client 001), you define multiple logical systems (for example, GTTCLNT001 and GTPCLNT001) in your GTS customizing system. The same applies to the EWM systems (for example EWTCLNT001 and EWPCLNT001).

                 

                Note

                If you have a 3-system landscape, you must configure logical systems for the ERP systems as well.

                 

            2. Configuring a Group of Logical Systems in GTS

              You use this procedure to define the group of logical systems in GTS. You must assign every feeder system to a group of logical systems. One logical system group can contain one or more logical systems of your feeder systems. Even if you only have one feeder system, you still must create a group of logical systems, and then assign the logical system for the feeder system to the group in a later step.

              If you want to connect several feeder systems with matching or partly matching characteristics to a GTS system, you can group the feeder systems together into logical system groups. The feeder systems must contain the same document structures and organization structures. Logical systems groups help you to reduce data maintenance considerably.

               

              Prerequisites

              You have checked the master data and the Customizing between the various feeder systems that you want to group together for consistency and made any necessary adjustments. If you do not harmonize the master data Customizing between the feeder systems, the system will transfer an indefinite subset of data to the GTS system.

               

              Procedure

              Carry out the first step of the procedure in your GTS customizing client allowing cross-client settings, and transport the settings to other GTS systems, if necessary (for example, GTS test system, GTS productive system). Carry out the subsequent step in all GTS systems (in a client allowing cross-client settings) that you want to connect to EWM.

               

              1. Define a new group of logical systems (for example, for systems EWM and GTS create group EWM_GTS) in Customizing for SAP Global Trade Services under System Communication Define Group of Logical Systems.

              2. Assign all logical systems defined in the previous step to the new group of logical systems (for example, assign GTSCLNT001 and EWMCLNT001 to group EWM_GTS) in Customizing for SAP Global Trade Services under System Communication Assign Logical System to a Group of Logical Systems.

         

        Note

        If you have a 3-system landscape, you must assign the logical system for the ERP system to the group of logical systems as well.

         TOP 

      4. Cross-Client Settings in EWM

        You use this process to prepare the EWM system for the communication with GTS. The settings affect all clients of the EWM system and require authorizations for cross-client settings on user and client level.

         

            1. Configuring Logical Systems in EWM

              You use this procedure to define the logical systems in EWM.

               

              Procedure

              Carry out the first step of the procedure in your EWM customizing client allowing cross-client settings, and transport the settings to other EWM systems, if necessary (for example, EWM test system, EWM productive system). Carry out the subsequent step in all EWM systems (in a client allowing cross-client settings) that you want to connect to GTS.

               

              1. Define a logical system for your EWM client (for example, EWMCLNT001) and a logical system for your GTS client (for example, GTSCLNT001) in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under SCM Basis Integration Basic Settings for Setting Up the System Landscape Name Logical Systems.

              2. Assign the EWM logical system defined in the first step to the EWM client (for example, in system EWM, assign EWMCLNT001 to client 001) in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under SCM Basis Integration Basic Settings for Setting Up the System Landscape Assign Logical Systems to a Client.

         

        Example

        In a landscape with an EWM customizing system (for example EWC, client 001), an EWM test system (for example EWT client 001), and an EWM productive system (for example EWP, client 001), you define multiple logical systems (for example, EWTCLNT001 and EWPCLNT001) in your EWM customizing system. The same applies to the GTS systems (for example GTTCLNT001 and GTPCLNT001).

        TOP  

      5. Client-Specific Settings in GTS

        You use this process to prepare the GTS client for the communication with EWM.

         

            1. Assigning an EWM Logical System to an RFC Destination in GTS

              You use this procedure to assign the EWM logical system defined in the GTS system to an RFC destination in GTS.

               

              Note

              These settings can’t be transported from your GTS customizing client to other GTS systems and clients. Therefore, you must repeat the steps in every GTS client connected to an EWM.

               

              Procedure

              Carry out the following steps in each GTS client you want to connect to an EWM:

              1. In Customizing for SAP NetWeaver , choose Application Server IDoc Interface/Application Link Enabling (ALE) Communication Determine RFC Destinations for Method Calls.

              2. Select the EWM logical system, for example, EWMCLNT001.

              3. Choose Standard BAPI destination.

              4. Enter the RFC destination created by your system administrator for the corresponding EWM system and choose Enter.

              5. Save your entries.

         TOP 

      6. Client-Specific Settings in EWM

        You use this process to configure settings at client level in EWM. The settings are valid for all warehouses of the client.

         

            1. Assigning a GTS Logical System to an RFC Destination in EWM

              You use this procedure to assign the GTS logical system defined in the EWM system to a RFC destination in EWM.

               

              Note

              These settings can’t be transported from your EWM customizing client to other EWM systems and clients. Therefore, you must repeat the steps in every EWM client connected to a GTS system.

               

              Procedure

              Carry out the following steps in each EWM client you want to connect to a GTS system:

              1. In Customizing for SAP NetWeaver , choose Application Server IDoc Interface/Application Link Enabling (ALE) Communication Determine RFC Destinations for Method Calls.

              2. Select the GTS logical system, for example, GTSCLNT001.

              3. Choose Standard BAPI destination.

              4. Enter the RFC destination created by your system administrator for the corresponding GTS system and choose Enter.

              5. Save your entries.

         TOP 

      7. Configuration of qRFC Communication

    You use this process to configure the queued remote function call (qRFC) communication between EWM and GTS. Most of the communication is done by transactional remote function calls (tRFC), but there are 2 cases, where qRFC calls are used:

    1. GTS sends compliance check triggers to EWM

    2. EWM sends the final compliance check update to GTS

     

    Since the communication is bi-directional, you not only configure the sending of data to both systems but also the receiving of data from both systems.

     

    Prerequisites

    You have configured the system connection and global settings as described in the previous chapters. RFC destinations and logical systems exist both in EWM and in GTS. Business systems exist in EWM as well.

     

        1. Configuring the qRFC Communication in GTS

          You use this procedure to set up the qRFC communication in GTS in order to send compliance check triggers to EWM and to receive updates from EWM.

           

          Procedure

          Carry out the following steps in each GTS client you want to connect to EWM:

          1. Register the RFC destination for EWM in the QOUT scheduler in GTS. This setting is relevant for the qRFC communication from GTS to EWM.

            1. In the GTS system, on the SAP Easy Access screen, call transaction SMQS.

        2. General Settings in GTS

          1. Defining the Organizational Structure

            To handle foreign trade processes with the GTS system, you need an organizational structure that consists of foreign trade organizational units and legal units. The foreign trade organization represents the upper hierarchy level, while the legal unit represents the lower level. You must define this organizational structure for GTS. The structure that you define has to comply with the legal and customs requirements to allow execution of your import and export processes. You assign one or more legal units to a foreign trade organizational unit. Note that while you can assign one or more legal units to a foreign trade organizational unit, you can only assign each legal unit to a single foreign trade organizational unit. You always define organizational units as business partners in the GTS system.

            The handling of import and export processes is based on data in your logistics feeder systems. The organizational structure - consisting of foreign trade organizational unit and legal units - enables you to map the organizational structures in your feeder system and, by assigning the two organizational structures, transfer the necessary data from the feeder system. You need both master data and transaction data in your GTS system. If the system can’t determine this assignment in the GTS system when transferring master data or documents from the feeder system to the GTS system, you can’t perform the desired foreign trade processes.

            The monitoring functions in the GTS system are based on foreign trade organizations and legal units. If you use ERP as a feeder system, for example, you can assign company codes to foreign trade organizations and assign plants (or combinations of plants and storage locations) to legal units. If the foreign trade organization represents several company codes, you can assign several company codes to this foreign trade organization. However, you can only assign a company code to one foreign trade organization. The same applies to the assignment of plants or plant/storage location combinations to legal units.

            In addition to the organizational units that legally represent your company to the authorities, you define the organizational units for handling specific foreign trade units in your organizational structure. These include the customs IDs for processing customs procedures with economic impact to identify specific or virtual premises for which you have received authorization from the customs authorities to store and/or process the products for these procedures. The organizational structure also defines the organizational units for which you explode and evaluate bills of material. You use these bills of material, for example, for handling re-exports in legal control, as well as in preference processing.

             

            Procedure

            Set up foreign trade organizations via the following activities:

            1. Define foreign trade organizations

            2. Transport foreign trade organizations to subsequent systems

            3. Assign organizational units (company codes) from feeder systems

            4. Set up legal units and assign them to foreign trade organizations

               

              We recommend creating one legal unit for each plant and assigning only one plant to each legal unit. To set up the legal units, perform the following activities:

              1. Define legal units

              2. Transport legal units to subsequent systems

              3. Assign organizational units (plants or plant/storage location combinations) from feeder systems

              If you have defined several feeder systems as a group with the same organizational structure, you can map your organizational structure and data to the GTS system at feeder system group level.

               

              To configure the additional organizational units, you must configure customs IDs. To enable the use of customs IDs, you have to perform the following steps in the GTS system:

              1. Define customs IDs

              2. Assign the customs IDs to the organizational units at your company

              3. Activate the customs IDs technically

               

                    1. Defining and Assigning Legal Units

                      A legal unit represents a subunit within your company. To integrate the foreign trade processes with the logistics processes in feeder systems, the legal unit in GTS reflects a logistics unit in your feeder systems. Legal units are used as presentation sites, for example, or other authorized locations of goods within GTS. Moreover, authorizations, import licenses, and export licenses must always be available for the entire premises of a legal unit.

                      The legal unit is the lower of the two hierarchy levels in the GTS organizational structure. You define the legal unit in business partner maintenance: you create a new business partner and assign the role of legal unit. The system uses the business partner address of a legal unit to determine specific values in the application. In SAP Customs Management, for example, the system uses the country of the legal unit to determine the country of departure for exports and the country of destination for imports.

                      If you use the Preference Processing service, a plant represents the lowest hierarchy level of the organizational structure. Each plant in Preference Processing represents a plant in the feeder system, for which you want to use the aggregation of long-term vendor declarations or preference determination. Therefore, first create a legal unit for each of these plants and then, in a subsequent step, assign the plants in the feeder system to the corresponding legal units.

                       

                      Procedure

                      Carry out the following steps in your GTS system. Make sure that you assign each legal unit to only one foreign trade organization:

                      1. In Customizing for SAP Global Trade Services, choose General Settings Organizational Structure 

                        Define Legal Units.

                      2. Choose Organization to maintain legal units as organizations with the role “Legal Unit” (SLLSIT).

                      3. Assign your legal units to the relevant foreign trade organization by choosing General Settings 

                        Organizational Structure Assign Legal Unit to the Foreign Trade Organization.

                         

                    2. Assigning Plants from the Feeder System to Legal Units

                      To enable the data transfer between GTS and the feeder systems, you have to assign the appropriate plant in the feeder system to the legal unit in SAP GTS.

                       

                      You can assign plants to legal units at two levels:

                      • Feeder system level

                        If only one feeder system exists, or if several feeder systems have different organizational structures, you can assign the plants at feeder system level.

                      • Feeder system group level

                      If several feeder systems have the same organizational structure, you can assign the plants at feeder system group level.

                      If the system cannot determine an organizational unit in GTS when a document is posted in the feeder system,

                      you can’t perform any further actions on that document.

                       

                      Procedure

                      Carry out the following steps in your GTS system:

                      1. In Customizing for SAP Global Trade Services, choose General Settings Organizational Structure 

                        Assignment of Organizational Units from Feeder System to Legal Unit.

                      2. You can assign plants either at the feeder system or feeder system group level.

                      3. You can assign plants either manually or with automatic transfer.

                         

                    3. Defining Foreign Trade Organizational Units

                      The foreign trade organizational unit represents you company as the legal person to the authorities. To enable integration between your foreign trade processes with the logistics processes in feeder systems, the foreign trade organization in the GTS represents the independent financial unit in your feeder systems. Accordingly, the foreign trade organizational unit models the organizational unit at your company that has its own VAT registration number. Within the GTS system, the foreign trade organizational unit acts as the authorization owner, for example, and the applicant for import and export licenses, securities, and CAP licenses.

                      The foreign trade organizational unit is the higher level of the two hierarchy levels for the organizational structure in the GTS system. You define the foreign trade organizational unit in business partner maintenance: Create a new business partner and assign the corresponding role for the foreign trade organization. When doing so, you must make sure that you assign the foreign trade organization to only one country. The system uses the country key for the foreign trade organization business partner for the specific determination routines in the application. In the Customs Management, for example, the system uses the country of a foreign trade organizational unit to find the legal regulation for the processes. You also model the customs representatives within a corporate structure, for example, at the level of the foreign trade organizational unit.

                      After you define the foreign trade organizational unit, you assign it to the corresponding unit in the feeder system (or group of feeder systems) in a subsequent step. Therefore, you must define at least one foreign trade organizational unit to represent your company and comply with statutory requirements and customs regulations.

                      The administrative unit represents the highest hierarchy level in the organizational structure for preference processing. The administrative unit and the foreign trade organization can be identical, however. Therefore, check whether the requirements for an administrative unit match those of your foreign trade organizational unit, and if they do, assign the role for the administrative unit to your foreign trade organizational unit as well.

                       

                      Procedure

                      Carry out the following steps in your GTS system:

                      1. In Customizing for SAP Global Trade Services, choose General Settings Organizational Structure 

                        Assignment of Organizational Units from Feeder System to Foreign Trade Org.

                      2. The Maintain Business Partner screen appears.

                      3. Choose Organization to create your foreign trade organizational unit as a business partner with role

                        Foreign Trade Org. (SLLFTO).

                         

                    4. Assigning Partner Numbers to the Foreign Trade Organization

                      To enable the data transfer between GTS and the feeder systems, you have to assign the appropriate organizational unit in the feeder system to the foreign trade organizational unit in GTS. The mapping between

                       

                      partner numbers in the feeder system and the foreign trade organizations in GTS is available for the generic assignment of these units.

                      You can assign partner numbers to foreign trade organizations at two levels:

                      • Feeder system level

                        If only one feeder system exists, or if several feeder systems have different organizational structures, you can assign the partner numbers at feeder system level.

                      • Feeder system group level

                      If several feeder systems have the same organizational structure, you can assign the partner numbers at feeder system group level.

                      If the system cannot determine an organizational unit in GTS when a document is posted in the feeder system,

                      you can’t perform any further actions on that document.

                       

                      Procedure

                      Carry out the following steps in your GTS system:

                      1. In Customizing for SAP Global Trade Services, choose General Settings Organizational Structure 

                        Assignment of Organizational Units from Feeder System to Foreign Trade Org.

                      2. Choose Assign Partner Number at Feeder System Level.

                        1. Choose New Entries.

                        2. Select the feeder system in the Logical system field and assign a business partner role.

                        3. Choose Partner Number Mapping to assign a logical system to a business partner.

                        4. Choose New Entries.

                        5. Enter an external business partner number in the feeder system and the foreign trade organization to which you want to map the business partner data in GTS.

                        6. Save your entries.

                      3. Choose Assign Partner Number at Feeder System Group Level.

                        1. Choose New Entries.

                        2. Select a logical system from your group of feeder systems and assign a business partner role.

                        3. Choose Partner Number Mapping to assign a logical system group to a business partner.

                        4. Choose New Entries.

                        5. Enter an external business partner number and the foreign trade organization to which you want to map the business partner data in GTS.

                        6. Save your entries.

                           

                    5. Defining the Customs ID

                      A customs ID is a key that you use to flag products that require customs procedures with economic impact. You must assign a customs ID to a product to assign the additional, more specific attributes for the customs procedures with economic impact. These attributes include relevance indicators for inward processing and customs warehousing, for example.

                      The customs ID also serves as a reference to a repository at your company where you store the products that are part of a customs procedure with economic impact. If products are present that must be handled using these special customs procedures, they are subject to separate monitoring by the customs procedures, which you can carry out based on the customs ID.

                       

                      Note

                      If you store products for customs procedures with economic impact at different locations – because you have several customs warehouses, for example – you must create a separate ID for each such repository. Note that you need a separate authorization for each customs warehouse, and therefore for each defined customs ID.

                       

                      Procedure

                      Carry out the following steps in your GTS system:

                       

                      1. In Customizing for SAP Global Trade Services, choose General Settings Organizational Structure 

                        Define Customs ID for Customs Procedures with Economic Impact.

                      2. Enter a customs ID and a description.

                      3. Save the changes.

                         

                    6. Assigning the Customs ID

                      You define the same customs IDs in your feeder system as in your system for GTS. You assign the special storage locations for customs procedures with economic impact in both systems. Since you have also assigned all the storage locations to a company code, the organizational data is replicated through the transfer of master data to the GTS system and the assignment of foreign trade organizations (company code) and legal units (such as storage locations).

                      Therefore, to uniquely identify your storage locations for products in customs procedures with economic impact, you assign the customs ID to a foreign trade organization and a group of logical systems.

                       

                      Procedure

                      Carry out the following steps in your GTS system:

                      1. In Customizing for SAP Global Trade Services, choose General Settings Organizational Structure 

                        Control Customs ID for Customs Procedures with Economic Impact.

                      2. Create a new entry and enter the following data:

  4. EWM Process Setup

      1. Customizing the Outbound Process

        You use this procedure to configure your EWM system to process export outbound deliveries.

         

        Prerequisites

        You must define outbound delivery document and item types in the ERP system that will be used in the outbound process. They can be existing types or new types.

         

        1. Adjusting Status Profiles for Item Types

          To control whether export outbound deliveries are checked by GTS, you have to activate the GTS Check (DGT) status in the status profiles used for the outbound delivery item types. This status is not activated in the standard profiles (for example in /SCDL/OUT_PRD_DLV_STANDARD). To run the check for export outbound deliveries only, there are two options:

          1. You create new status profiles as a copy in which the DGT status is activated.

          2. You change the settings for the existing profiles.

            In this procedure (and in all other procedures) the second option is described.

             

            Procedure

            Carry out the following steps in your EWM customizing client:

            1. In Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management, choose Cross-Process Settings Delivery –

              Warehouse RequestStatus Management Define Status Profiles.

            2. Choose the appropriate status profile as follows:

              1. For standard outbound delivery items, choose /SCDL/OUT_PRD_DLV_STANDARD, for example

              2. For direct outbound delivery items, choose /SCDL/OUT_PRD_DLV_DIRECT, for example

            3. On the Status Types screen for each profile, activate the DGT status (deselect the Inactive checkbox).

            4. Save the status profiles.

            TOP  

        2. Adjusting Status Profiles for Document Types

          To enable the transit procedure and full control of delivery splits based on legal requirements for export outbound deliveries, you have to activate the Transit Procedure (DWN) and Delivery Split Restricted (DSR) statuses in the status profiles used for the outbound delivery document types. These statuses are not activated in the standard profiles.

           

          Procedure

          Carry out the following steps in your EWM customizing client:

          1. In Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management, choose Cross-Process Settings Delivery –

            Warehouse RequestStatus Management Define Status Profiles.

          2. Choose the appropriate status profile as follows:

            1. For standard outbound delivery documents, choose /SCDL/OUT_PRD_STANDARD, for example

            2. For direct outbound delivery documents, choose /SCDL/OUT_PRD_DIRECT, for example

          3. On the Status Types screen for each profile, activate the DWN and / or DSR statuses (deselect the

            Inactive checkbox).

          4. Save the status profiles.

            TOP  

        3. Adjusting Action Profiles

          To control whether export outbound deliveries are checked by GTS, you must activate the corresponding Post- Processing Framework (PPF) actions in the action profiles used by the outbound delivery documents.

           

          Procedure

          Carry out the following steps in your EWM customizing client:

          1. In Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management, choose Cross-Process Settings Delivery –

            Warehouse RequestActions Change Actions and Conditions Define Action Profiles and Actions.

          2. Select the Action Profile that is used in your outbound delivery order document type (for example

            /SCWM/PDO_01) and choose Action Definition in the dialog structure on the left side.

          3. Activate the following action definitions by removing the Inactive checkbox:

            1. /SCWM/PDO_01_GTS_CHECK

            2. /SCWM/PDO_01_GTS_DOC_DELETE

          4. Go back, select the Action Profile that is used in your outbound delivery document type (for example/SCWM/FDO_01), and choose Action Definition in the dialog structure on the left side.

          5. Activate the following action definition by deselecting the Inactive checkbox:

            1. /SCWM/FDO_01_GTS_DOC_DELETE

          6. Save your changes.

             

            Important

            This procedure must be repeated after each release upgrade.

  5. Process Descriptions

    1. Outbound Process Compliance Checks

      In the outbound process, EWM uses the compliance checks from GTS to check whether an outbound delivery can be delivered to a certain goods recipient.

       

      Procedure

      1. In ERP, create a sales order with the corresponding (GTS-relevant) order type.

        Note that an order reference is a must in the process. Without an order reference, the items will not be relevant for compliance checks later on.

      2. Create an outbound delivery based on your sales order and distribute it to EWM.

      3. In EWM, a compliance check to GTS is called when the delivery is created. This is done on item level, and only the relevant items are checked. Subitems are not relevant for the checks. The item level GTS Check (DGT) status is changed:

        1. For the relevant item, it is set to “In Progress” (2)

        2. For the items that are not relevant, it is set to “Not Relevant” (0)

      4. Based on the result of the check, the delivery items (and therefore the complete delivery) can be blocked or unblocked. The DGT status on item level shows the result of the check:

        1. For blocked items, it is set to “GTS Check, Not OK” (8)

        2. For the items that are not blocked, t is set to “GTS Check, OK” (9)

        3. In case of technical issues during the check, it is set to “Technical Errors” (5)

      5. If DGT is set to “GTS Check, Not OK” or “Technical Errors”, the item level status Blocked (Inconsist. Item) (DBD) is set to “Yes” (X), which implies that the header level DBD status is also set to the same value. This implies also that the header level status Blocked (Overall Status) (DBO) is set to “Yes” (X).

      6. If the outbound delivery order is blocked, it is not allowed to:

        1. Create any warehouse task in the putaway process

        2. Load (simple or complex loading)

        3. Create an outbound delivery or post goods issue

      7. Already created warehouse tasks can be confirmed.

      8. During the outbound process, a new GTS check is called, if:

        1. It is manually triggered. You can trigger a GTS check by highlighting the relevant items and then choosing the button GTS => Recheck GTS Lock

        2. The following attributes are changed in the delivery header:

          1. Ship-to party or its address

          2. Carrier or its address

          3. Planned out-of-yard date

        3. An item is created or deleted

        4. The following attributes are changed in a delivery item:

          1. Item quantity

          2. Catch weight quantity

          3. Product

        5. The compliance check status in GTS has been changed and a notification is sent to EWM, which also triggers a new check

        6. There is always a new check at the time of outbound delivery creation and at the time of goods issue posting.

      9. In case of necessary authorization, the GTS Check status can be released manually. You can trigger the manual release by highlighting the relevant items, and then choosing the button GTS => Release GTS Lock. After this action, the item level DGT status is set to the value “Manually Released” (6). With this status, no further checks are possible.

    2. Outbound Process Transit Procedure

      You can subject complete outbound deliveries that are transit-procedure-relevant to a transit procedure. In doing so, you can ensure that the customs authority issues a loading permission for the vehicles with the goods to be delivered to the goods recipient.

       

      Procedure

      1. For an outbound delivery order, you can manually define if this delivery is relevant for Transit Procedure, or not. By default, the outbound deliveries are not relevant for this process. To enable it for certain deliveries, you have to implement the corresponding BAdI /SCWM/SHP_PROC_REL_SET.

      2. If the delivery is relevant for the transit procedure, you can manually change the delivery to indicate that the customs authority is informed. You can set header level Transit Procedure (DWN) status value to “For Checking” (1). To do so, choose the header level button Transit Procedure => Set status to “Check”.

      3. This step blocks the delivery, and in this status, it is not allowed to:

        1. Create any warehouse task in the picking process

        2. Load (simple or complex loading)

        3. Create outbound delivery or post Goods Issue

      4. Already created warehouse tasks can be confirmed.

      5. If the customs authority allows the loading, you can manually release the lock. To do so, choose the header level button Transit Procedure => Set status to “Release”. This sets the DWN status to the value “Released” (9).

      6. If the customs authority doesn’t allow the loading, you can manually set it on the delivery to postpone the processing. To do so, choose the header level button Transit Procedure => Set status to “Blocked for Customs”. This sets the DWN status to the value “Customs Insp.” (8).

         TOP 

    3. Outbound Process in Advanced Shipping and Receiving

      The outbound compliance check process works also in the Advanced Shipping and Receiving scenario, with the following limitations and extensions:

      1. In EWM, the outbound delivery order can be relevant for GTS checks based on Customizing, but EWM is not allowed to call any GTS checks directly. Therefore, it is not allowed to manually recheck or release checks.

      2. The compliance check results can be received from the ERP system at the time of the delivery distribution and creation in EWM. Further status updates can be received from the Transportation Management (TM) system.

      3. The status GTS Check (DGT) is still valid and available for delivery items, and it still controls the delivery item blocks as in the normal process described in 5.1. The following status values are possible:

        1. Not Relevant” (0)

        2. In Progress” (2)

        3. GTS Check, Not OK” (8)

        4. GTS Check, OK” (9)

      4. Beside the DGT status, there are 3 new statuses defined that show more precise information about the compliance situation. These statuses have the same possible values as the DGT status:

        1. GTS Check (Embargo) (DGE) – Embargo check

        2. GTS Check (Legal Control) (DGL) – Legal Control check

        3. GTS Check (SPL Screen) (DGS) – Sanction Party List check

      5. The transit procedure is currently not supported together in the Advanced Shipping and Receiving process.

    4. Inbound Process Transit Procedure

      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.

       

      Procedure

      1. In ERP, create a purchase order.

      2. Create an inbound delivery and distribute it to EWM.

      3. In EWM, the created inbound delivery will be relevant for the transit procedure, if:

        1. The previous document number is maintained as a reference document in the inbound delivery (it is either possible to maintain it in EWM manually, or to maintain it manually in ERP and distribute it with the delivery)

        2. The previous document type is relevant for the transit procedure, see chapter 4.3.2

        3. The inbound delivery is in yard (you can set it manually or receive the information from ERP during distribution)

      4. If the delivery is relevant for the transit procedure, a message is sent to the GTS system. Meanwhile, the header level Transit Procedure (DWN) status value is automatically set to “For Checking” (1). It blocks the delivery, and in this status you can post Goods Receipt, but it is not allowed to:

        1. Create any warehouse task in the putaway process

        2. Unload (simple or complex unloading).

      5. If the response from the GTS system allows the unloading, the lock is automatically released. This sets the DWN status to the value “Released” (9).

      6. If the response does not allow the unloading, the DWN status is set to the value “Customs Insp.” (8).

      7. The transit procedure status can be released manually. You can trigger the manual release by highlighting the relevant delivery and choosing the button Transit Procedure => Set status to “Release”. After this action, the DWN status is set to the value “Released” (9).

      8. The transit procedure status can be rechecked manually. You can trigger the recheck by highlighting the relevant delivery and choosing the button Transit Procedure => Set status to “Check”. After this action, the DWN status is set to the value “For Checking” (1). From this the process continues like described from step 4.

        TOP  

    5. Inbound Process Temporary Storage

      You can use safekeeping (temporary storage) for inbound deliveries in delivery processing.

       

      Procedure

      1. In ERP, create a purchase order.

      2. Create an inbound delivery and distribute it to EWM.

      3. In EWM, the created inbound delivery will be relevant for safekeeping, if:

        1. The previous document number is maintained as a reference document in the inbound delivery (it is either possible to maintain it in EWM manually, or to maintain it manually in ERP and distribute it with the delivery)

        2. The previous document type is relevant for temporary storage, see chapter 4.3.2

        3. Customs blocked stock types are configured, see chapter 4.3.1

      4. If the delivery is relevant for the temporary storage, a communication is executed to the GTS system. Meanwhile, the item level stock type information is set to one of the customs blocked stock types (C1 to C8).

      5. At the time of goods receipt posting, the stock is posted to one of these customs blocked stock types.

      6. With these customs blocked stock types, it is possible to unload and put away the stock in the inbound process and pick and load the stock in the outbound process.

      7. Stock with one of these customs blocked stock types, can’t leave the warehouse (via scrapping or posting goods issue).

      8. At the end of the process, when GTS informs EWM that a stock is not in customs block anymore, a posting change is executed for the stock, and it is posted to a normal stock type. The system searches the corresponding stock in the warehouse in the following order:

        1. Stock assigned to the inbound delivery

        2. Stock not assigned to any deliveries

        3. Stock assigned to an outbound delivery

      9. You can track stock in handling units after putaway, in order to always release exact stock. For further details see SAP Note 2460221.

      10. You can monitor pending release requests from GTS system in transaction /SCWM/CBREL_MON.

    6. Inbound Process in Advanced Shipping and Receiving

      The inbound transit procedure process in EWM is not supported in the Advanced Shipping and Receiving scenario, the functionality is covered by TM.

      The inbound temporary storage process works in the Advanced Shipping and Receiving scenario, with the following limitations:

      1. There is no communication from EWM to GTS, the communication is covered by TM.

      2. The previous document type and number is always received from ERP, it is not allowed to manually maintain it in EWM.

      3. If the previous document type is relevant for temporary storage, the stock type changes are working in the same way as in the normal process, including the release of customs blocked stock from GTS.

         

        Important

        The Advanced Shipping and Receiving functionalities with GTS integration are available from SAP S/4HANA 2021 or higher only.

        TOP 

    7. Inbound Correction Process in Advanced Shipping and Receiving

      In the inbound process in the Advanced Shipping and Receiving scenario, it is possible to process overdelivery situations. The correction process is relevant only if the overdelivery is recognized after the goods receipt posting (it is even possible to handle it after the putaway process is finished).

       

      Procedure

      1. In TM, a new freight unit is created for the quantity deviation, and a new inbound delivery in ERP is created with a correction flag. This inbound delivery is then distributed to EWM.

      2. In EWM, a correction inbound delivery is created.

      3. Goods receipt can be posted manually or automatically via a PPF action.

      4. The received stock is posted as a difference, and it can be handled further in the Difference Analyzer.

      5. The correction delivery is not relevant for unloading or putaway.

         

        Important

        The Advanced Shipping and Receiving functionalities with GTS integration are available with SAP S/4HANA 2021 or higher.

    8. Scrapping Process

      If you use the customs warehousing procedure in EWM, only the scrapping process is affected. If you work with warehouse requests of the posting change type for scrapping in the scrapping process in the customs warehouse, GTS can apply to the customs authority for permission to scrap.

       

      Procedure

      A posting change delivery from ERP is distributed to EWM and a posting change request for scrapping is created.

      If the product is relevant to customs warehousing, delivery processing requests a scrapping reference number from SAP GTS.

      1. In ERP, create a scrapping posting change delivery and distribute it to EWM

      2. In EWM, the created posting change delivery will be relevant for the scrapping process. If the products on the posting change items are relevant for customs warehousing, a communication to the GTS system is executed. Meanwhile, the item level Scrapping Customs (DWS) status value is automatically set to “For

         

        Inspection” (1). It blocks the delivery, and with this status, it is not allowed to post goods issue and finalize the scrapping process.

      3. If the response from the GTS system allows the scrapping, the lock is automatically released. This sets the DWS status to the value “Released” (9). In addition, a new scrapping reference document is added to the delivery header with type Reference Number – Scrap (SCR).

      4. If the response does not allow the scrapping, the DWS status stays “For Inspection” (1).
