US Shipper's Letter of Instruction and Customs Unit of Measure

[dean_hinson2]

Hello All,

Before I open an OSS Message to SAP, I want to make sure I understand the SLI and the Customs UOM....

We have everything configured to handle the UOM as specified in the Schedule B. The Customs UOM (aka. the Supplemental UOM), is displayed in the Export Declaration with appropriate quantity. However, when we use the standard SLI form from SAP, we don't see the Schedule B UOM. We see the internal UOM.

So, is this a bug in the form?

When I debug the form, in structure GS-I_GEN, I see both the ALUOM and CTSUM1. Is it just simply coding to move CTSUM1 to ALUOM?

Sorry, for the questions. We are trying to go back to standard as possible and I find that this UOM issue to be puzzling.

I appreciate any insight.

Regards, Dean.

Hi Dean,

I don't know the answer, but from what you say, it certainly sounds like the wrong field is being printed.

Of course, you could work around it by coding the BAdI (/SAPSLL/CUS_ECC~MODIFY_IDOC_VIEW) to over-write that field for that particular output, but if it's a "bug", it should really be corrected in the standard code.

Regards,
Dave

Hello David,

In the Number Scheme UOM configuration, we basically configured that internal UOM EA is equal to Customs NO. What I found in the Export Declaration at the line item, you see a dimensional UOM EA and then after that the Customs UOM NO.

What prints on the SLI, is the dimensional UOM. The quantities are calculated correctly, just that the wrong UOM is printing.

So, I will open an OSS Mesage with SAP and see what they have to say.

Thanks again, Dave.
