Hi all,

Please anybody tell me from where in the invoice the foreign trade data comes?

Because we are getting problem for only one invoice in production?

From where its get automatically filled?

For ex like

number for foreign trade data(i know it is eikp-exnum)

but how these automatically filled from customer master??

Thanks

Is this a SD invoice or a MM invoice? When you created the invoice, which document did you refer to(delivery or sales order)?

It is controlled through copy control. In all probability, since this is erroring out only in one invoice, the preceding document might not have the data filled in and hence when the invoice was created referring to it, it remained blank.

Hi Srinivas,

Its an SD invoice.

The invoice is created by a background job from sales order.

For this invoice only i have this field vbrk-exnum populated which relates to EIKP( Foreign trade header)

and only invoice has foreign trade data.

No sales order contains this data.

So i also checked the preceding document i didnt find any problem.

So from where this field populated

Thanks

Go to the change history of the billing document and see if it is manually added by someone. Simply blanking it out should resolve the issue, but make sure that this information is not there for a purpose.

Hi srinivas,

I didnt see any changes for the billing document.

I cant edit the field its automatically populated.

See if there are any user exits that are used to fill this data. In CMOD look for Z projects that are assigned to SAP enhancement V50EPROP.

Also, you said that invoices are created in a job. Is that a standard SAP program that is creating them or is it your custom program?

Hi Sai

I had had that problem before and I didn't have any master data or change in the fields for foreign trade data in the Sales Order.

I corrected the error when I customized a shipping point in my case only customize one for all the plants I have:

IMG > Enterprise Structure > Definition > Logistics Execution > Define, copy, delete, check shipping point

And it’s necessary customize the Shipping Point Determination at:

IMG > Logistics Execution > Shipping > Basic Shipping Functions > Shipping Point and Goods Receiving Point Determination

When you have deliveries is necessary to specify the Shipping Point if you don’t have one the systems takes by default (I don’t know how) the Incompletion procedure Switzerland in the invoice.

I hope this could be helpful for you.
