Preference Processing (enhanced)

Use

Starting in SAP Global Trade Services 10.0, preference processing features new user navigation, as well as functional enhancements with the following features:

• Change of meaning for the "rule set" concept

Starting in this release, rule sets are used only to group different types of preference rules together. They no longer directly control differentiation between rules under the the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) or the European Union. Through the assignment of rule sets to preference agreements, the preference agreements assume control of which preference rules are relevant. This means the separation between the NAFTA and EU-specific user interface is no longer needed. In addition, you can now assign all preference agreements worldwide to the rule set types contained in the delivery.

• Support for multiple agreements

Starting in this release, you can use changes in the control settings for preference processing in which the preference agreement plays an even more important role. This makes it possible to do the following:

• Assign several rule sets to an agreement

You can group the preference rules that apply for a preference agreement in a rule set. If countries in a preference agreement have different instances of the preference rules, you can assign the different country-specific rule sets to a preference agreement. By assigning different rule sets to an agreement, you can model the flexibility that preference agreements make possible through country-specific versions of preference rules.

• Agreement-specific forms for an administrative unit

Since the preference agreement has assumed the central role starting in this release, you can create agreement-specific forms for all vendor-based long-term vendor declarations and LTVDs for customer's purpose for an administrative unit.

This lets you request vendor declarations that comply with the specific rules of the agreement. You can also issue vendor declarations based on the rules in the agreement you use to confirm preference eligibility for your customers.

If you use preference agreements from different preference zones within an administrative unit, you can determine the relevant forms based on the location of your business partner.

• Freely definable preference indicators

With the expansion of the preference agreement, you can assign schemas for preference indicators in which you group freely definable preference indicators together in the rule sets. The system uses these preference indicators in the vendor declarations. The system also uses the preference indicators of an agreement in the user interface. Therefore, agreement-specific preference indicators are used both internally in the system and in communications with vendors and customers.

• Currency

Starting in this release, you have to enter the currency and the exchange rate type, which the system requires for preference determination, at the administrative unit level.

• Close ties between process steps and underlying master data

Starting in this release, the master data that belongs directly to a work area in preference processing is stored in that direct area. This makes it possible, for example, to use the assignment of vendor to an administrative unit as the relevant master data for processing vendor-based long-term vendor declarations. This merger of master data and functions for the processes also applies to the master data in preference determination and for processing LTVDs for customer's purpose.

• Personalization in preference processing

Starting in this release, you can personalize the view of the processing transactions. This makes it possible, for example, to limit your workspace to specific administrative units. The system then shows all the information in all processing transactions based on your personalization settings. This lets you optimize your processing and implement organizational boundaries more easily.

• Web UI for entering long-term vendor declarations

Starting in this release, you can create vendor-based long-term vendor declarations directly in the system for your business partners or units in your corporate group. A Web UI is provided where you can enter a link and the appropriate access data to request entry of a vendor-based long-term vendor declaration. The system saves the data entered here in a worklist; you can transfer the information to preference processing from there.
