2 SAP Global Trade Services Overview

2.1 Introduction to SAP Global Trade Services

The available business scenarios for import and export of this solution can run across one or several of

these product areas. In the section for a particular product area, you find all the information that is

relevant for the technical implementation of this product area. SAP Global Trade Services 10.1 consists

of the following product areas:

■ Compliance Management

This area ensures that you can adhere to the complex international regulation in the following

areas:

● Sanctioned party list screening

● License management for import and export controls including reexport processes and ITAR

regulations

● Embargo checks

● Hazardous goods checks

■ Customs Management

This area, you can use for cooperation with customs authorities. The main focus is the

implementation of electronic shipping and customs procedures. It comprises the following areas:

● Customs communication services for imports, exports, and special customs procedures,

including electronic communication and trade document services

● Duty calculation

● Product classification

■ Trade Preference Processing

This area supports you in using the advantages of preferential trade agreements or providing the

necessary prerequisites to your customers for your competitive advantage.

■ Letter of Credit Processing

This area helps you to meet your contractual obligations and mitigate financial risks.

■ Restitution Handling

This area supports you in applying for refunds for exports of common agricultural products (CAP).

■ Electronic Compliance Reporting

This area supports you in providing Intrastat declarations to the authorities.

You can use SAP Global Trade Services as enterprise-wide, centralized application that enables your

company to comply with worldwide trade regulations, communicate electronically with customs

authorities and manage information that is relevant to foreign trade. It provides reporting features,


2.1 Introduction to SAP Global Trade Services

2012-06-15 PUBLIC 11/42

especially for audits, that enable you to handle changing import and export requirements and controls.

The solution is designed to be integrated with multiple SAP and non-SAP systems in a heterogeneous

environment. It can be implemented without changing your existing logistics processes.

2.2 Software Units of SAP Global Trade Services

2.2.1 Application Components

This section can provide information about the most important software components of SAP Global

Trade Services.

■ SLL-LEG 901

This component provides the technological prerequisites for complying with worldwide trade

regulations, managing information that is relevant for compliant processes for business

transactions and in foreign trade. This is, for example, when interacting with customs agencies,

producing international shipping documentation, such as commercial invoices, entry summaries,

and pre-clearance notifications, as well as mitigating financial and legal risks in the world of global

trade.

■ SLL-PI 900_*

You can connect SAP Global Trade Services to SAP ERP systems starting at the release of SAP R/3

4.6C using standard interfaces. The plug-in SLL_PI 900_* provides all the technical functions

required for communicating with SAP Global Trade Services and integrating the processes.

For the system connection and integration into the logistics processes in SAP ERP you need to

install the plug-in SLL_PI. For the SAP ERP 6.0, for example, you need SLL_PI 900_600. This plug-

in contains all functionality for the system connection with one or more SAP ERP systems as feeder

systems. You can also connect it to several SAP ERP systems of different releases without any

technical problems.

NOTE

You can also connect SAP Global Trade Services with feeder systems using standard interfaces

for the communication. These can be SAP ERP systems, any other SAP systems or non-SAP

systems.

2.2.2 Technology Components

■ SAP NetWeaver components

SAP enhancement package 3 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (SAP NetWeaver 7.0 EhP3) provides the

technological foundation for SAP Global Trade Services 10.1. The ABAP stack of this technological

platform is, in a sense, the operating system of SAP Global Trade Services 10.1. The JAVA Stack can

be required for special functions in the individual product areas of SAP Global Trade Services or



12/42 PUBLIC 2012-06-15

for running the delivered user roles in SAP NetWeaver Portal as stated in the Software Component

Matrix as well as in the System Landscape information.

■ UI Technology

SAP Global Trade Services supports different technology to use its features and run its business

processes. All UI technologies support the standard roles that SAP Global Trade Services provides

or that you can administer by using transaction code PFCG.

However, the features for sanctioned party list screening in Compliance Management are available

in two environments: the SAP GUI-based features that were already available in previous releases

are continued in this new release, and newly developed features that are solely based on Web user

interfaces (Web-UI). In addition, the Web-UI-based maintenance of long-term vendor declarations

in preference processing that can be used for to automate the maintenance of vendor declarations

through direct data input of suppliers is only available in the Web-UI.

● SAP GUI

You can use the latest release of the SAP GUI software (such as SAP GUI 7.2) with all previous

SAP component releases. As a result, older SAP systems can also benefit from the features that

are only available in the newer SAP GUI releases. The features of sanctioned party list screening

and preference processing that are Web-UI-based, cannot be displayed by SAP GUI.

● SAP NetWeaver Business Client (NWBC)

The NWBC as a new, desktop-based SAP integration platform provides end users with a

seamless integration of classic SAP GUI-based transactions and new applications developed in

Web Dynpro. It allows consumption of application content, and tasks directly from the

backend systems by using standard roles that you can define using transaction code PFCG. You

can therefore use this technology to run all features of SAP Global Trade Services with this

technology.

For more information about the NWBC, see SAP Library for SAP NetWeaver at http://

help.sap.com/nw703 SAP NetWeaver 7.0 including Enhancement Package 3 Application Help (Choose

Language) SAP NetWeaver SAP NetWeaver by Key Capability Application Platform by Key Capability

ABAP Technology UI Technologies in ABAP SAP NetWeaver Business Client 3.5 + (with PFCG

Connection)

● SAP NetWeaver Portal

You can access all features of SAP Global Trade Services in SAP NetWeaver Portal by generating

content for SAP NetWeaver Portal from the standard roles that is delivered by SAP or adjusted

by you using transaction code PFCG.

For more information about generating content from standard roles, see SAP NetWeaver

Technology Consultant's Guide for your SAP NetWeaver Portal version at http://

2012-06-15 PUBLIC 13/42





NOTE

For the feature of SAP Global Trade Services that are provided only in Web-UI, you must use

either NWBC or SAP NetWeaver Portal.

2.3 System Landscape

SAP Global Trade Services runs on SAP NetWeaver technology. This tried and tested, reliable platform

provides scalability and the support of numerous language and country versions. At the same time, it

provides a Web-based infrastructure that can be connected to any application with open Internet

standards.

For scenarios that can be integrated with logistics processes in feeder systems, the following landscape

options are possible with SAP Global Trade Services:

■ Installation of SAP Global Trade Services on a separate system

■ Installation of SAP Global Trade Services on the same operating system/database system of another

SAP solution, for example, SAP ERP. Then, SAP Global Trade Services must run in a separate client.

CAUTION

We strongly recommend that you use a minimal system landscape for test and demo purposes

only. For performance, scalability, high availability, and security reasons, do not use a minimal

system landscape as your production landscape.

Figure 1: System Landscape with Integration into SAP ERP as Feeder System with Plug-In



14/42 PUBLIC 2012-06-15

When integrating SAP Global Trade Services 10.1 in your system landscape, it requires the following

software components:

■ SLL-LEG 901 (SAP Global Trade Services 10.1)

■ SAP_AP 7.00 (SAP Application Platform), SP26 or higher

With SLL-LEG 901 being an add-on to SAP NetWeaver, the following dependencies to SAP NetWeaver

apply and must be installed as basis for running SAP Global Trade Services 10.1:

■ SAP NetWeaver 7.3 including enhancement package 1: ABAP Stack

The ABAP Stack requires the following software components and releases:

● SAP ABA 7.31 (Cross-Application Component), SP03 or higher

● SAP Basis 7.31 (SAP Basis Component), SP03 or higher

● SAP_BW 7.31 (SAP NetWeaver BI), SP03 or higher

● PI_BASIS 7.31 SP03 or higher

■ SAP NetWeaver 7.31 including enhancement package 1: Java Stack

The Java stack does not necessarily require SAP NetWeaver 7.31 (http://help.sap.com/nw731) but

also runs under SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (http://help.sap.com/nw70).

In addition, you can use the logistics processes in SAP ERP as trigger for the business scenarios in SAP

Global Trade Services and can implement controls of logistics processes based on activities in SAP Global

Trade Services. For the process integration with SAP ERP, you must install the following software

component:

■ SLL_PI 900_* in the version for your SAP ERP release.

SAP Global Trade Services provides plug-ins for the following SAP ERP releases:

SAP ERP release Plug-In Version

SAP R/3 4.6C SLL_PI 900_46C (SP11+)

SAP R/3 4.7 SLL_PI 900_470 (SP11+)

mySAP ERP 2004 SLL_PI 900_500 (SP11+)

SAP ERP 6.0 SLL_PI 900_600 (SP11+)

SAP ERP 6.0, Enhancement Package (EhP) 2 SLL_PI 900_602 (SP11+)

SAP ERP 6.0 EhP 3 SLL_PI 900_603 (SP11+)

SAP ERP 6.0 EhP 4 and higher SLL_PI 900_604 (SP11+)

You can connect SAP Global Trade Services to SAP ERP systems starting with SAP R/3 4.6C using

standard interfaces. You can also connect it to several SAP ERP systems of different releases without

any technical problems. For the system connection and integration into the logistics processes in

SAP ERP you need to install the plug-in SLL_PI 900_*. This plug-in contains all functionality for

the system connection between SAP ERP and SAP Global Trade Services. All features of GTS 10.1

are available as of plug-in version SP11 or later.

There are no technical dependencies between upgrades of SLL_PI and SAP Global Trade Services.

If you are installing SAP Global Trade Services with an earlier release version than the release

version of your plug-in version, you can still only use the plug-in functions for the SAP Global



2012-06-15 PUBLIC 15/42

Trade Services release to which the plug-in version corresponds although you might have a more

current version of SAP Global Trade Services installed. They are always described in the

corresponding product documentation for the SAP Global Trade Services of the installation release.

You can use the available standard interfaces to connect SAP Global Trade Services to one or more

SAP ERP systems as well as with other SAP solutions such as SAP Supplier Relationship

Management (SAP SRM). You can also run SAP Global Trade Services in heterogeneous system

landscapes because it can be connected to non-SAP systems. For using transportation data in

addition to logistics processes in SAP ERP for running processes in Customs — and Compliance

Management, you can connect SAP Transportation Management with SAP Global Trade Services

by using enterprise SOA.

3 SAP Global Trade Services Business Scenarios

The business scenarios of SAP Global Trade Services are contained in the product areas that are described

below. For the business scenarios in all product areas, the same information applies concerning the

following:

Technical System Landscape

The overall system landscape applies to all business scenarios. For more information, see System

Landscape.

Software Units

For information about the required software units for the individual scenarios, as well as the

categorization of the software unit as whether being mandatory or optional for the scenario, see Software

Component Matrix.

Implementation and Upgrade Sequence

For information about the implementation and upgrade sequence, see Overall Implementation Information.

You can use the overall sequences as template for the scenario-specific sequences depending on the

required software units.

RECOMMENDATION

For the upgrade using the business scenario Preference Processing, we recommend that you

process the worklist of long-term vendor declaration for customers' purposes before you upgrade

from SAP Global Trade Services release 7.0 to release 10.1. If necessary, you can restructure the

worklist using the initial transfer in the feeder system.

3.1 Compliance Management

Description

The product area of Compliance Management enables companies to work in compliance with legal

requirements and regulations. By streamlining the extended supply chain, Compliance Management

automates the complicated regulatory compliance process, which is a crucial factor for successful global

trade activities. To comply with legal requirements, Compliance Management checks and screens

master and transactional data from the logistics processes of the feeder system through integration

between the feeder system and SAP Global Trade Services. This minimizes the risk of penalties and


3.1 Compliance Management

2012-06-15 PUBLIC 25/42

fines, maximizes your company’s return on global sourcing and selling initiatives, and increases your

overall competitiveness by improving customer satisfaction.

NOTE

All relevant features to perform Sanctioned Party List Screening are available in a SAP-GUI-based

technology . The same features are also available with an enhanced information design in Web

UIs. You can choose which version of the information architecture and UI technology you would

like to use.

3.2 Customs Management

Description

The product area of Customs Management enables companies to adhere to standardized processes. By

streamlining import and export processes through automated IT-based customs processes by the

Customs authorities, companies can expedite the cross-border trade activities in a global market. The

application supports automated customs processes that can be country-specific such as automated

export or import systems of authorities or the European New Computerized Transit System (NCTS).

By using SAP Global Trade Services for the automated systems, companies can use the production of

international shipping documentation. This includes commercial invoices, entry summaries, and pre-

clearance notifications. The overall result is an acceleration of cross-border trading and avoidance of

shipment delays.

With the main focus on the implementation of electronic transit and customs procedures, Customs

Management facilitates imports and exports as well as communication and printing. The documents

for transit and customs procedures can be based on master and transaction data from a feeder system

through integration of logistics processes in the feeder system and the processes of Customs

Management. The customs communication service enables you to connect to customs offices to

execute customs declarations at the border or inland by communicating electronically and printing

required forms.

Customs Management allows you to use regular customs procedures as well as inventory-managed

customs procedures, for example customs warehousing, outward and inward processing. As for the

customs warehouse and outward processing procedure, this also includes customs inventory

management. Customs warehousing and its inventory management are based on the logistics

integration with a feeder system. Customs duty calculation supports complicated calculations of duties

and value added tax based on goods value and additional costs, for example transportation or insurance.

Product classification assigns the appropriate classification numbers to imported and exported

materials.

In addition to customs procedures, you can also monitor movements of excise goods and comply to

the standards that the authorities set for electronic communication and securing the movements.


3.2 Customs Management

26/42 PUBLIC 2012-06-15

3.3 Preference Processing

Description

Preference Processing supports companies in indicating goods for preferential tariff treatment that can

mean reduced or zero rates of customs duty. It assists in determining whether all the prerequisites for

preferential customs duty rates have been fulfilled. This determination is based on transaction and

master data from the logistics system that can be used in Preference Processing through process

integration between SAP Global Trade Services and the feeder system.

Preference Processing includes the following requirements for preference processing:

■ Defining preference agreements

■ Managing preference rules

■ Managing inbound and outbound long-term vendor declarations, including requesting and

sending reminders to vendors about vendor declarations and maintaining the declarations in the

system

■ Preference determination for regular and configurable bill of materials, including extensive logs

■ Providing statement on preferential eligibility for goods based on vendor declarations and bill of

materials

■ Issuing vendor declarations for goods to Customs with preferential eligibility and revoking vendor

declarations if the preferential status changed

■ Printing preferential documents such as certificates of origin or goods movements certificates valid

as preference certificate

Proving preferential eligibility of goods with Preference Processing enables the exporter to obtain a

competitive advantage over other exporters. This reduces the overall price of goods for customers who

import the goods.

RECOMMENDATION

For the upgrade using the business scenario Preference Processing, we recommend that you

process the worklist of long-term vendor declaration for customers' purposes before you upgrade

from SAP Global Trade Services release 7.0 or higher to release 10.1. If necessary, you can

restructure the worklist using the initial transfer in the feeder system.

3.4 Letter of Credit Management

Description

Letter of Credit processing allows you more control over shipping dates and receipt of documents for

legal control purposes. It supports importers and exporters in mitigating financial risks by trading

globally. You can incorporate this service in your export transactions to minimize risks and expedite

transactions in international trade. It allows you to gain more control over shipping dates and receipt

of documents for legal control purposes.

The following features are available to minimize risk in import transactions:


3.3 Preference Processing

2012-06-15 PUBLIC 27/42

■ You can maintain letters of credit that you receive from banks in the letter of credit master data.

■ You can enter all the relevant shipping and document dates in the letter of credit. You can do this

by using the letter of credit attributes. Each attribute can be specified individually. Based on the

attribute settings either the single or the multiple assignment of attributes is possible.

■ You can assign letters of credit to export transaction documents due to the outbound logistics

integration.

■ The system recognizes that your import business partner is relevant to the Letter of Credit

processing and you are required to assign a letter of credit to that business partner.

■ You can create bank master data by transferring the data initially from your feeder system to SAP

Global Trade Services and enhancing it in the business partner maintenance transaction.

■ You can monitor the status of your letters of credit.

■ One user reviews the letter of credit and a second user is required to activate the letter of credit.

■ You can print documents in a manner that complies with the stipulations in a letter of credit.

3.5 Restitution Handling

Description

Restitution Handling enables exporters to map the restitution process simply and efficiently to the

standard export process while mitigating financial and legal risks. The export processes can be based

on logistics data from a feeder system through integrated processes.

Monitoring and controlling functions enable exporters to keep track of all their business transactions

and cooperate with the customs authorities in a legally compliant manner. Restitution Handling allows

exporters to manage export licenses, securities, manufacturer’s recipes, and restitution calculations

based on the normal export process.

3.6 Electronic Compliance Reporting

Description

Electronic Compliance Reporting application enables companies to create Intrastat declarations either

manually or based on document data from the logistic systems. The product area of electronic

compliance reporting ensures that the Intrastat declarations fulfill the requirements of the statistical

authorities

Authorities in the European Union require statistical information on trade between member states for

internal trade statistics, which companies can provide by using SAP Global Trade Services. With

Electronic Compliance Reporting, Intrastat declarations can be edited and a file of the Intrastat

declaration can be created in the required format.


3.5 Restitution Handling

28/42 PUBLIC 2012-06-15

NOTE

You can use Electronic Compliance Reporting for integration to logistics processes in SAP ERP

feeder systems but it also runs as a standalone scenario with no connection to the feeder system.

technical upgrade of an SAP component, taking into account the combinations of operating systems

and databases. It does not describe any business-related configuration.
