Use

In this IMG activity, you can specify all transit countries affected according to route, departure, and destination countries. Entering a route is optional. If you enter a route, this must have been created in Customizing for Sales and Distribution.

For dangerous goods management, all countries and mode-of-transport categories for which you must take dangerous goods regulations into account must be taken from an SD document. The combination of country and mode-of-transport category is always relevant for this, as dangerous goods regulations are valid for a mode-of-transport category and a country or number of countries (represented by a validity area in the SAP system).

The countries are derived from the routes or shipment stages and from the transit country table. The mode-of-transport categories are derived from the shipping types in the route header or the route or shipment stages.

This IMG activity also serves to identify a shipment route as rollon - rolloff (roro). If you set the RoRo indicator, the system checks the mode-of-transport categories that are assigned to the base mode-of-transport category04 (Sea) in addition to the other mode-of-transport categories. This indicator is taken into account when outputting dangerous goods documents and during EDI processing based on the departure countries and destination countries in the whole itinerary or the whole shipping route, if the following criteria are fulfilled:

  • The last stage in which the departure country appears must have the mode-of-transport category Road (01) or Rail (02).
  • The first stage in which the destination country appears must have the mode-of-transport category Road or Rail.
  • The stages between the last stage in which the departure country appears and the first stage in which the destination country appears must have the mode-of-transport category Road or Rail.

Activities

  1. Call the IMG activity.
  2. Choose Edit -> New entries and specify the route, departure, and destination country.
  3. Set the RoRo indicator if you are using a route that includes a roll-on roll-off sea transport.
  4. Select the route and choose Assignment of transit countries.
  5. Choose Edit -> New entries and enter the data for the fields TransCount, Counter, Sequence, LegIndictr, and Sea/air.
    6. The Counter field enables you to include individual countries in the transit country table several times. This means, for example, that the change of mode-of-transport category can be mapped within a transit country.

The transit country table is taken into account as follows:

  • In the sales or shipping document, the transit country table is always taken into account if you have entered a route without stages in the sales or shipping document.
    Exception:
    For internal shipments and a route without stages, the transit country table is only taken into account if the Dng.gds transit ctry tab indicator is set in the route header.
  • If you have entered a route with stages in the sales or shipping document, the transit country table is taken into account if the Dng.gds transit ctry tab indicator is set in the route header.
  • In the shipment document, the transit country table is not taken into account if the shipment header contains a route that is defined with stages and for which the Dng.gds transit ctry tab indicator is not set. In all other cases, it is taken into account in the shipment document.

  1. If the transit country table is to be taken into account in the sales or shipping document for a route with stages or in the transport document in addition to the shipment stages, then use the sequence to specify the routes or shipment stages to which the transit country is to be assigned. Routes or shipment stages are always assigned the transit countries that come between the departure and destination countries of a stage. Transit countries are in turn assigned the shipping type for the stage. The mode-of-transport category is derived from the shipping type (preliminary leg, main leg, subsequent leg).
  2. If you have entered a route without stages in the shipping or sales document, the shipping types from the route header are used. You assign the leg indicator to specify which shipping type in the route header is to be assigned to a country.
  3. If you have entered a route without stages in the shipping or sales document and want to take into account national conditions for the mode-of-transport categories sea or air, specify which country is the departure or destination country for this mode-of-transport category. As standard, these mode-of-transport categories are assigned to the departure and destination countries for shipping if they are entered in the main leg shipping type in the route header.

Further notes

The departure country in the shipping or sales document is always derived from the shipping point, and the destination country is always derived from the ship-to party. The departure country for a transport document is derived from the departure nodes of the first shipment route, and the destination country from the destination nodes of the last shipment route.

The transit country table is read in the shipping, sales, and transport document according to the following procedure:

  • The system first attempts to find data records using the route, departure, and destination country.
  • If no data records are found, the transit country table is read without a route. The departure and destination countries in the stage are always used first.
  • If no data records are found for this, the departure and destination countries for shipping, sales, or shipment are used to read the transit country table.

For more information about the derivation of countries and mode-of-transport categories, see the application help for Dangerous Goods Management.
