Comparison of Commodity Code Numbers in SAP MM

Use

This function allows you to maintain the lists of commodity codes (for example, US Schedule Bcodes) and import code numbers (for example, Harmonized Tariff Schedule codes) in the system.

Periodically, some codes become obsolete with the customs authorities. This function identifies

obsolete codes by comparing codes currently in the system with the set of codes designated by a

keyword you enter. (See the graphic below.) This designated set of codes could be, for example,

the most recent set of commodity codes you received from the customs authorities and loaded

into R/3. From the comparison, the system creates a list of the codes that are not in the

designated set. You then have the option of deleting the listed codes.

Prerequisites

To use this function, you must know the keyword assigned to the set of codes on which you want

to base the comparison. (When you load a set of commodity codes or import code numbers, you

can print the key you assigned to the set and keep it on file.) The system uses that keyword to
retrieve the set of codes from its database.
