  • Comprehensive guarantee
  • Individual guarantee in cash

  • Individual guarantee in the form of vouchers

The licenses in SAP Compliance Management that are modeled by the license types can have the following instances in accordance with the German legal system:

  • Individual Validated License (IVL)

    This license covers the export of a specific product for a specific customer up to a certain amount. This type of license is required for products that are subject to strict export controls.

  • Collective export license (CEL)

    This license is valid for multiple materials and customers. As a result, it is not necessary to obtain a separate export license for every export business with the same material, but with different customers.

  • General licenses (GL)

    This is the most widely used type of license. It is issued for a specific material. The exporter can use this type of license without have to apply for it at the responsible authority, as long as he has verified that the GL is valid for the material and country of destination.

  • Validated licenses (VL)

    This type of license is issued for a specific material and a value. The exporter has to submit an application to the authorities for this license.

  • ITAR licenses

    This type of license is required for export business with products for military use.
