GTS - Long-Term Vendor Declarations - Error "Do not specify country if the LTVD status is negative"

[matthias_hh]

Dear all,

we are using SAP GTS for our Long-Term Vendor Declarations. There are several customers who also need to know the Preferential Country of Origin even if this combination is not eligible (transaction /SAPSLL/PRE_VDI_210).

If I set the status to "not eligible", I am not able to set the country of origin. The error message "Do not specify a country if the LTVD status is negative" occurs. Is there a possibility to set this message to a warning message or a special User Exit or similar to overrule this message?

Thank You in advance!

Best regards from Germany

Matthias

Hi Srinivas,

now I have talked to our Preference specialists.

We can't use your standard process because we don't have BoMs for our product. We are a trading company and import products into the EU without a following production process. We have one material number in a purchase order and use the same one on sales order side. At GTS we maintain the preference status as you said using the material master. But if we say "Not eligible", we can't put in an origin.

So the question itsself is unfortunately still there: We want to maintain the origin of a product although it is not eligible.

Alternatively: Do you know the table where the information about the origin and the preference status is stored in?

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,

Matthias

Hi Matthias,

Thanks for your reply!

after reading your message above i have got few more clarifications:

what is the reason to maintain Preferential Status in Product master manually? with this you are bypassing the standard Preference process.

As per standard SAP functionality, the Preference Status in Product Master will be updated once the Preference Determination is completed for the BoM Product. so,to run the Preference Determination, first we need to send LTVD request to all the Vendors who supplied the Products. once they send the LTVDs , then we will do maintain those LTVDs and do aggregation for them and then will run Preference Determination. once the process is completed, then the Preference status would be updated in Product Master SAP GTS.

Hope you understand the Preference Process explained in short. if you still have any further clarifications for the same please do let me know.

Have a Good Day!

Thanks,

Hi Srinivas,

Thanks for Your support and reply!

We are mainting Preferential status in Product Master in GTS.

We don't have in-house procured products but customers from industries who need to have the full transparence about the origin of our products because of their own obligation to present evidence (like e.g. pharma or food). This is why the information about origins is needed on the Long-Term Vendor Declaration also if it is "not eligible". Because of guessing that the standard logic of the form will also print it without any additional steps, the only challenge we are facing at is to get the country of origin into that named field.

Thank You in advance!

Best regards,

Matthias

Hi Matthias,

I hope you are maintaining Preferential status as 'Not Eligible' in Product Master in GTS.

What is the reason or Business requirement to maintain 'Not Eligible' for Preferential Status in Product Master.

is that Product is in-house procured?

Thanks,
