Data transfer feeder systems SAP GTS
SAP GTS is connected to one or several feeder systems from where master data and
transactional data is transferred to the SAP GTS database

GTS uses data created in connected ERP systems.
Master data and transactional data is transferred to GTS
from the feeder system.
The feeder systems can be both SAP (ERP, SCM, SRM
or CRM) or any non-SAP systems.
No updates to documents or master data in GTS is
replicated in the feeder systems. One way transfer!

Customs Management
General
Customs authorities are a.o. involved in international trade processes wherever goods are given a customs
approved destination or treatment by means of a customs declaration.

The import and export process involves the filing of customs declarations in accordance with the local
requirements from the country/region concerned.

Depending on the country/region where the customs declaration will be filed, different requirements need
to be met:

The operator has to file its customs declarations electronically (or paper-based for fall-back
procedure)
The operator has to file its customs declarations either
Transaction based (i.e. per incoming and outgoing movement)
Periodic based (i.e. per week or month, where feasible)
