International Trade
Would you like to learn more?
Due to increasing globalization along the supply chain, a large number of departments within a company are involved in foreign trade processes. Changing, complex legal requirements, e.g., in the area of customs and embargo checks, pose additional challenges for companies: Incorrect implementation of the applicable regulations can result in anything from delivery delays to penalties.
Due to these requirements, SAP has provided the modules “SD-FT (Sales and Distribution - Foreign Trade)” and “MM-FT (Material Management - Foreign Trade)” in SAP R/3 for foreign trade. However, these modules will not be available in SAP S/4HANA with the same functionality, and “SAP S/4HANA International Trade” will be delivered as part of the “Digital Core.” This means changes in foreign trade, and this must be taken into account when migrating to S/4HANA. 4process AG is happy to support you in this regard.
In addition to the FT solutions in R/3 and International Trade in S/4HANA, the additional solution SAP Global Trade Services (SAP GTS) can be implemented for complex processes in foreign trade.
