Functional Foreign Trade Data in SD Documents in SAP MM

Definition

Data that describes the export or dispatch characteristics of a sales and distribution (SD)

transaction.

Structure

Foreign trade data appears at the header and item levels in sales orders, deliveries and billing

documents. The customer and material master records propose some of this data, and the

system copies some foreign trade data at the documents’ header level from the underlying sales

orders. The system determines other data based on the route or the item category.
