Issuing Long-Term Supplier’s Declarations to Internal Customers

Usually, long-term supplier's declarations are issued to external customers. In intercompany sales within the EU, however, the receiving subsidiaries might require supplier's declarations, too.

Based on billing documents for intercompany sales, the administrative unit representing the supplying company code can issue long-term supplier's declarations to the administrative unit representing the receiving company code.

The feeder system can transfer extracts from billing documents for intercompany sales to the SAP GTS system. These extracts are stored there as system proposals for the issue of long-term supplier's declarations. Processing these proposals, the program /SAPSLL/CREATE_ICEXCH_LTSD_OUT creates supplier's declarations. The program is intended for background execution, but can also be started using transaction Exchange of LTSDs Between Administrative Units (transaction code /SAPSLL/LTSDOUT_IC).

The process of cross-company-code stock transfer in SAP S/4HANA is described in detail in the SAP Help Portal and in SAP note 308989. This paragraph explains additional settings required in the SAP GTS system.

The essential step is the assignment of administrative units to their functions as issuer and recipient of long-term supplier's declarations (SAP Global Trade Services, edition for SAP HANA→Preference Management→Supplier's Declarations→Cross-Company-Code Stock Transfer→Activate Administrative Units for LTSD Exchange).

Moreover, preference properties have to be created for the receiving administrative unit using the Manage Preference Properties - Customers app. In the general settings of these preference properties, the Affiliated Company indicator has to be set.
