Legal Control - Import/Export

In legal control, you can maintain your master data and

business transactions in accordance with the legal
requirements for imports and exports. You can also use
monitoring and simulation tools that help you ensure that
your business is compliant with current import and export
laws. Legal control includes checking business
transactions for products that require licenses, as well as
the check for embargo situations for these business
transactions.
Prerequisites
You have activated legal control for imports and exports,
along with embargo checks.

Define legal regulations

The legal regulation defines how the system determines
suitable export licenses based on the determination
sequence, license types (which differ according to the
government agency), and the export control
classification number (ECCN). Legal regulations for
export are based on the country of departure and
should therefore be activated to check for export
licenses.
Legal regulations for import are based on the country of
destination and should therefore be activated to check
for import licenses.

Defining license types and their determination

The license types contain control parameters for the
individual checks in legal control. If you configure the
system, for example, to check for military/civilian use
for certain document items in export licenses, the
business partner must be flagged accordingly or the
document is blocked.

You have also entered the underlying master data for

legal control (see Master Data for Legal Control and
Embargo Check) and classified the products with ICCNs
and ECCNs (see Product Classification for Legal Control
and Embargo Check).
Process
You can use the following steps in legal control to ensure
legal compliance of your business transactions:
1.

You manage your licenses (see Managing Licenses)

You can use import and export licenses for your
processes, as well as group multiple additional licenses
together in agreements for special processes. When you
import or export products requiring licenses, the system
depreciates values or quantities from the products. You
can also configure the dependent settings for the
licenses in the functions for license management.

2.

You simulate legal control (see Simulating Business

Transactions for Legal Control).
The advantage of the simulation tools is that you can
quickly find out whether you require an additional
export or import license for a particular product, for
example, before you actually begin the process. This
means you can check whether you need a license for a
potential business transaction before you create an
order or purchase order in the feeder system. If any
licenses are missing, you can implement corrective
measures directly.

Note
You can also start sanctioned party list screening from
the legal control simulation (see Simulated Sanctioned
Party List Screening)
3.

Analyzing the checks for legal control

You can use various preparation and evaluation steps to
analyze the check results, for example, including
exploding document BOMs in preparation and the
display of archived documents for tracking. You can also
see the categories in which the system has placed the
various documents in overview lists, such as technically
incomplete documents and blocked documents.
Monitoring

1.

All sales and purchasing documents, as well as

payments
Note
When you edit a customs document for legal control in
the Compliance Management area, and the
corresponding logistics document in the feeder system
is edited at the same time, the system allows the
document to be saved in the feeder system, where it
creates an index entry for that document. You have
already configured periodic processing of the index in
the feeder system for the recovery scenario. When the
document is saved in Compliance Management, the
system transfers the changes to the logistics
document to the GTS system the next time the index
is processed. This circumvents the block of the feeder
system document if the corresponding customs

document is edited at the same time, and transfers it

when the index is processed.
2.

All licenses for import and export

3.

Archived data

4.

Releasing blocked documents and payments

When blocks are triggered in legal control, this means
you do not have sufficient licenses or have to complete
the data. You can correct the reasons for blocking by
updating the control data or entering additional
licenses. When you re-check the documents or
payments in this case, the system removes the blocks.

5.

Embargo
The legal control functions are rounded out with a check
of your business transactions for embargo situations.
You can enter the control data for embargo situations
and check the business partners in documents and payments for
possible embargos.
