US IOR Number for Imports in GTS

[dean_hinson2]

Hello All,

As you may know we are working on imports with Customs Agents. So, I was asked a question that I could not answer from my customer. In GTS, the Federal Tax Id can be maintained under US2. Which for our situation is used for our EIN.

However, for our IOR, there is an added suffix. US2 in GTS will only allow up to 11 characters. For those of you that are doing import in GTS, how and where do you maintain your IOR in GTS?

Regards, Dean.

Hi Dean,

I don't know the direct answer but could you use a partner function (in the customs dec) to record IOR?

Hi Dean,

You can store the suffix to meet US EIN requirements by changing the settings under SAP Netweaver --> General Settings --> Set Countries --> Set Country-Specific Checks. You can either change the length or the checking rule or both.

Thanks,

Jessica

Thank you Jessica. I will say working on imports does show that just because you know exports... Again, Thank you.

Hello Jessica,

FYI... opened an OSS message to SAP regarding this topic. Export team wants their EIN and the Import team wants their IOR. So, I will let you know what SAP says.

Dean,

Did you get an answer from SAP on the best place to store the IOR number?

Thanks.

I was looking at this again just the other day. I found that DEZCOM and CUSMES require the 9 digit EIN, but CUSVER can use 11 digit with the suffix.

I'm maintaining the 9 digit EIN on the FTO and mapping the FTO BP to DEZCOM and CUSMES partner functions. I have the 11 digit EIN on the Legal Unit and it is mapped to the CUSVER/Consignor partner function.
