Definition

Specifies the type of license used.

Use

The export regulations in each country are covered by a set of export licenses. Each of these export licenses has its own distinguishing characteristics. In the SAP System, you can use the license type to distinguish between licenses.

Example

The German legal system includes the following export licenses:

  • Einzelausfuhrgenehmigung (EAG) (Single Export License)

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

  • Sammelausfuhrgenehmigung (SAG) (Collective Export License)

    This license is valid for several materials and several customers. With this license, you only need to apply for a separate license for different customers but not for each export transaction involving the same material.

The US legal system includes the following export licenses:

  • General licenses (GL)

    This is the most commonly used license type. It is issued for a specific material. The exporter can use this type of license without submitting a request to the responsible authorities after ensuring that it is permissible to export the material to the destination country.

  • Validated licenses (VL)

    This type of license is issued for a specific material and value. The exporter must apply to the authorities for a validated license.

  • ITAR licenses

    This license is required for export transactions involving arms.

Note

The following consequences arise for export control when you specify the product classification by country of destination in the relevant IMG object:

  • For characteristics that are not restricted, no license is necessary. However, since export control removes blocks in missing country/grouping combinations, you must include the actual entry.
  • If you maintain an entry with a license type for a country of destination, the system finds this license type when checking export control, and then chooses an appropriate license.
  • If you maintain an entry with license type "BLANK", the system will regard the material to be checked for the country of destination as "not restricted". When the system checks the material, it is recognized as irrelevant for an export license.
  • If you do not maintain an entry for a country of destination, the system blocks the document item because of the missing data.
