Master Data Processing (Enhanced)

Use

Starting in SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services 8.0, you can transfer additional, product-specific masterdata from the material master in the feeder system, such as the material type, to SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services and save it in append structures of the customs product master. These append structures let youenhance the structures and database tables provided by SAP in your customer system and save your own data there, without any modifications. You enhance this SAP structure or database table with your own component.

As a result, you can display and change the data from these append structures on separate tab pages in the customs product master, as well as use it during processing. You can use the additional product attributes in SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services, for example, to run your own custom foreign-trade analyses based on this data.

2

Sanctioned Party List Screening (Enhanced)

Use

Starting in SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services 8.0, you can use the following enhancements in SPL(sanctioned party list) screening:

! SPL screening of applicants

You can transfer applicants from your SAP personnel management systems to SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services and subject them to SPL screening there. As a result, you can make sure that youonly select potential future employees who are not listed, increasing your enterprise security.

! SPL screening for customer contact persons

You can subject contact persons who you have defined in the customer master data to SPL screening.

! Restrict SPL screening to lists for persons or organizations

To boost system performance during SPL screening of employees and applicants, you can configure thesystem to only use the sanctioned party list for individuals during the screening of master data. Of course, you can also check against both lists, for individuals and organizations, as before. This lets youscreen partner roles exclusively against the SPL lists for individuals within a legal regulation, for example, for personal information from personnel management systems.

! Consideration of address validity

You can configure the system to consider the validity of business partner addresses during SPL screening. Since a given business partner can have different addresses with different validity periods in their master data, you can ignore addresses that are not valid at screening time.

! SPL screening for persons from external systems

In addition to the API for business partners, SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services now alsoprovides another API for individuals, to let you start SPL screening for employees and applicants from external systems.

! Consideration of initials in search terms

Starting in this release, the system features an improved search algorithm that recognizes precise initialsin names or titles of a search term for a master record.

Effects on Customizing

To use SPL screening for applicants, you have to configure the system connection and data transfer of applicantsin your feeder system, as well as the system connection and SPL screening in SAP BusinessObjects GlobalTrade Services.

! You configure the settings for the system connection and data transfer in the feeder system with the areamenu for SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services, which you start with transaction code /SAPSLL/MENU_LEGALR3. From there, go to the Master Data and Basic Settings tab pages.

! You configure the settings for the system connection in SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services inCustomizing under SAP Global Trade Services -> General Settings -> System Communication.

3

! You configure the settings for SPL screening in Customizing under SAP Global Trade Services -> General Settings and SAP Global Trade Services -> SAP Compliance Management -> "Sanctioned Party List Screening" Service.

To restrict SPL screening to valid addresses, you have to restrict the scope of address screening to the valid datain SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services. You configure this setting in Customizing under SAP Global Trade Services -> SAP Compliance Management -> "Sanctioned Party List Screening" Service -> ControlSettings for "Sanctioned Party List Screening" Service.

4

Legal Control (Enhanced)

Use

Starting in SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services 8.0, you can use the following enhancements for compliance checks for embargos and in legal control:

! Import control for inbound deliveries

You can run the import control for inbound deliveries starting in this release. In this process, the systemchecks the replicates of the transferred inbound deliveries and blocks them if any data or licenses are missing. The system also sets a block if an embargo situation exists or the document data fails the sanctioned party list screening.Note that you can only create customs declarations prior to goods receipt in customs processing if the purchase orders or inbound deliveries are not blocked.

o If you have created a customs declaration prior to goods receipt based on an unblockedpurchase order and sent it to the customs authorities, the system continues that customs declaration. This occurs whether or not you then transfer an inbound delivery from the feedersystem that SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services blocks.

o You transfer a purchase order with a quantity x and then an inbound delivery with a quantityless than x. Although the system blocks the inbound delivery, you can create a customs declaration for the purchase order quantity that remains after the blocked inbound deliveryquantity.

! Route-based checks

If you save route information in the item information of the sales documents (orders) in the feeder system, SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services can check the following information, for example,for each country combination along that route:

o Do you have to change the planned itinerary due to an embargo situation for a countrycombination along the route?

o If a border to another country is crossed during transport along the planned route, are additionallicenses needed?

SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services takes each departure and destination node within a routeof the sales documents in your feeder system and saves it as country combinations in the header data ofthe customs document. It then checks these combinations for the legal regulations you have activated for the compliance checks.

! ITAR regulations

Starting in this release, you can track ITAR-relevant goods in a separate monitor, to document their locations for internal and external auditors at all times. You can use transaction-based BOMs to do so and apply the legal controls to their BOM components.You can also use the following general enhancements in SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Servicesfor ITAR monitoring of goods traffic:

o Create and process projects

Projects let you assign the export licenses manually or using a Business Add-In (BAdI) directlyin the customs document, which the system creates a replicate of a feeder system document

o Transfer transaction-based BOM information from the feeder system

You can implement a BAdI to filter the ITAR-relevant items from BOM explosion in the feedersystem and transfer these items to SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services.

5

The BOM information appears as items with the respective subitems for the BOM componentsin the customs document in SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services.

o Run legal control for the legal regulation for ITAR monitoring

You can configure legal control to find and assign the necessary export license for eachindividual component of a BOM, or run license determination until the first component thatrequires an export license is found and then assign that license. The system uses the top-downmethod for license determination in both cases.You can configure these alternatives for license determination depending on the legalregulation, for example. If an ITAR-relevant legal regulation is involved, you can run licensedetermination for each individual component in a BOM, since the authorities require a separatelicense for each component. When products for civilian use or dual use goods are involved, the authorities issue licenses that are valid for a respective product, including all the componentsinstalled therein. As a result, you can use and assign licenses for assemblies or end productsfor the legal regulation for civilian and dual-use goods. Any further examination of the BOMcomponents is unnecessary in this case. Eliminating it improves system performance.

! Determination rules for export and import license rules

You can enter and upload the determination rules for export and import license rules. You can alsodisplay and analyze these determination rules, for example, at country level.

! Evaluation for product classification

You can analyze the classification of products in legal control in Compliance Management. You can runthe analysis for specific products or based on data such as relevance for controls or tariff number. As a result, for example, you can search for specific products that are subject to ITAR regulations at a specifictime, to derive analyses for the control relevance or control grouping, as well as assign export control classification numbers.


To enable import control for inbound deliveries, you have to make the following Customizing settings:

! In the feeder system, activate inbound deliveries for Compliance Management and configure the systemresponse in the controls for document transfer

You configure these settings in Customizing in the feeder system under:Sales and Distribution -> Foreign Trade/Customs -> SAP Global Trade Services - Plug-In ->Control Data for Transfer to SAP Global Trade Services -> Control Data for Document TransferorMaterials Management -> Purchasing -> Foreign Trade/Customs -> SAP Global Trade Services- Plug-In -> Control Data for Transfer to SAP Global Trade Services -> Control Data for Document Transfer

! In SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services, activate the legal regulation for the document checks ofthe replicated inbound deliveries and configure the control data for the legal regulation for the Compliance area.

To use BOMs to check the ITAR regulations for a product, you have to make the following settings:

! Create an instance of the Business Add-In (BAdIs) in the feeder system. You use this BAdI to explodethe BOMs and filter the control-relevant BOM components before transferring them to SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services.

You set up the BAdI in Customizing in the feeder system under:Sales and Distribution -> Foreign Trade/Customs -> SAP Global Trade Services - Plug-In ->Business Add-Ins for SAP Global Trade ServicesorMaterials Management -> Purchasing -> Foreign Trade/Customs -> SAP Global Trade Services- Plug-In -> Business Add-Ins for SAP Global Trade Services

6

! You also have to set the flag for document-related BOMs in the control data for legal control in SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services. This flag lets you control whether the system determineslicenses at the main item or subitem level in the BOM of the customs document.

You configure these settings in Customizing under SAP Global Trade Services -> SAP ComplianceManagement -> "Legal Control" Service -> Control Settings for "Legal Control" Service.

7

Legal Control for Re-Exports (New)

Use

Starting in SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services 8.0, you can use legal control for re-export-relevantproducts. When you export products, you have to check specifically whether you need to comply with other, internationally valid export rules, in addition to the national regulations of the countries from which you export and into which you import. This can apply, for example, to products that originate in the United States and which youwant to export from a country outside of the U.S. to a third country. Starting in this release, you can run the checks for this type of re-export with the following steps in SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services:

! Explode the BOMs as master data from the feeder system and transfer the data to SAP BusinessObjectsGlobal Trade Services; the BOMs contain the information (at component level) as to which componentsare subject to re-export regulations

! Classify the BOM components and leading parts in accordance with the requirements for re-export control, such as the EAR classification for the re-export control of products from the U.S.

! Calculation for re-export, during which the system uses the BOM to determine which share the re-export-relevant products comprise of the overall product

! Legal re-export control, based on the share of dual-use goods in the overall product; the necessaryexport license is determined and assigned in this step

The re-export control lets you ensure compliance with internationally valid regulations for every single export. If you violate U.S. re-export regulations, for example, the U.S. authorities can impose trade restrictions on you andyour U.S.-based business partners.


To use the re-export functions in export control, you have to make the following settings in Customizing for legalcontrol:

! Configure the checks for legal control for re-export

You configure these settings in Customizing under SAP Global Trade Services -> SAP ComplianceManagement -> "Legal Control" Service -> Control Settings for "Legal Control Service".

! Assign each feeder system plant to exactly one legal unit and assign each legal unit to a foreign tradeorganization

You configure these settings in Customizing under SAP Global Trade Services -> General Settings -> Organizational Structure.

! Import processing

When you temporarily import products for use as components in inward processing, the system createsa stock with each customs declaration. It also calculates the periods during which you have to complete inward processing. You can see these stocks in the stock list.

! Export processing

When you export compensating products after inward processing, the system determines the closingportions for the installed components that you imported temporarily. You can use the time of export or the time of settlement to calculate the closing portions. The system then reduces the stock of these components in accordance with the quantity installed in the compensating product.

! Settlement after inward processing

During settlement, you compare the stocks of imported components with the stocks of the resulting compensating products over the period defined in the authorization.If you cannot report closing portions for all components in stocks by the end of the authorized processingperiod, you have to transfer these components to free circulation and pay compensating interest to the customs authorities.

Effects on Existing Data

SAP Transportation Management Integration with Export Processing (New)

Use

Starting in SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services 8.0, you can integrate SAP Transportation Management(SAP TM) 7.0 in SAP Supply Chain Management (SAP SCM) with export processing. This lets you delaytransportation execution in SAP TM until the customs authorities release an export, making sure your logistics processes are compliant with all local laws.

SAP TM initiates the generation of pro forma billing documents in SAP ERP for deliveries that are transferred from SAP ERP and processed further in SAP TM. SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services then carries out export processing based on these pro forma billing documents. You can retrieve the release status of export transactions assigned by the customs authorities directly from SAP TM. As soon as the customs authorities grant the release for an export transaction and this release is transferred to SAP TM, the system removes the block on transport execution.


To use export processing for SAP TM, you have to configure export processing for SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services in Customizing in SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services and the SAP ERP feeder system.

! You configure the settings for SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services in Customizing of the feeder system under:

o Sales and Distribution -> Foreign Trade/Customs -> SAP Global Trade Services - Plug-In

Localization for the United States: Import (Enhanced)

Use

Starting in SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services 8.0, you can save information about particular official requirements involving cross-border goods transporters separately for each active legal regulation in the customs product master. This enables you to enter additional information for the following governmental agencies atproduct level, which is required on customs declarations for imports into the United States:

! Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

! Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

! Department of Transportation (DOT)

The system adds this data to customs declarations and customs shipments automatically, for example, at item level in the "Authorities" tab page of the customs declaration.

If you plan to import goods that are subject to FDA regulations into the United States, you need an FDA product code in addition to the valid tariff number for customs processing. SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services lets you classify the products to be imported into the U.S. according to FDA rules; the FDA product codes identifyall the imported products that are subject to FDA rules. Like tariff numbers, you can enter FDA product codes inyour system manually or upload them from a file.

You can also use the certified processes in SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services for the ABI (Automated Broker Interface).


To use FDA product codes, you have to define a numbering scheme and assign it for customs processing in Customizing. You configure these Customizing activities under:

! General Settings -> Numbering Schemes -> Define Numbering Scheme for FDA Classification

This message is a status query to the ATLAS participant from the office of export. If you have alreadysent a customs export declaration to the authorities, but have not presented the export goods to the office of exit within a defined period, the office of export cannot send an export confirmation. As a result,the office of exit uses this message to query the status of the export.

! Status of export

You use this message to answer the status query from the office of exit and explain the status of the goods to be exported.

You can monitor these status queries in a separate display.

The customs authorities have already enhanced the existing messages for the new release of their electroniccustoms processing system. You can enter and edit this additional information in the customs declaration; the system adds it to the respective message. The additional information includes:
