Definition

In order to print foreign trade documents, you use this field to classify the foreign trade document to be issued. The system uses this classification to trigger certain checks during printing.

You can use the following values for classifying documents:

  • ' ' - Not specified
  • 'AAAV' - Export document - Export declaration complete
  • 'VT1 ' - Shipping document - T1 document
  • ...

Use

  1. First you create a document type entry ("Type of preliminary document", "type of verification document" or "type of preference") in the relevant Customizing table.
  2. Classify this entry with regard to the printing of foreign trade documents.
  3. Assign the document type that you created to an output type in the print control table for foreign trade output.

Example

The following example illustrates the process:

You want to issue standard output FEEU in order to print movement certificate EUR1. You want to exclude billing items that are not relevant for preference.

In Customizing, choose Sales and distribution -> Foreign Trade -> Printing/Communication -> Control foreign trade documents Define preference document types.

Create a country-dependent document type, for example, EUR1.

Assign classification term PEUR (preference document - EUR1) to document type EUR1.

In Customizing, select print control for foreign trade output. Define a plant-dependent entry for output type FEEU. Then assign document type EUR1 to output type FEEU.

Due to this classification, the system disregards all document items that are not relevant for preference when it issues output FEEU. If you do not classify any entries, the system issues all document items, regardless of whether they are relevant for preference or not.

Note

If you flag a foreign trade document as a preference document by using the following classification:

  • 'P ' - Preference document - General
  • 'PEUR' - Preference document - EUR1
  • 'PATR' - Preference document - ATR

the system will print only billing document items that are relevant for preference for this foreign trade document.
The system recognizes a billing document item as relevant for preference if the preference indicator has been set in the billing document item.
