Detailed Description From Employer:
SAP Warehouse Management (WM) with SAP Global Trade Services (GTS) for Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) operations involves a specialized setup that enables companies to manage duty-exempt inventory, comply with customs regulations, and automate goods movement tracking. Here's a breakdown of how this integration works and what it entails:
Overview of SAP WM + GTS Integration for FTZ
Foreign Trade Zones (FTZs) are secure areas under U.S. Customs supervision where imported goods can be stored, manipulated, or manufactured without immediate payment of duties. SAP GTS supports FTZ operations by managing customs compliance, inventory tracking, and reporting.
Key Components and Configuration
1. Customs ID Mapping
  • Each FTZ is represented by a Customs ID in both the feeder system (SAP ECC or S/4HANA) and SAP GTS.
  • You must assign plant/storage location combinations to these Customs IDs.
  • This mapping enables SAP GTS to track inventory movements and generate customs filings
2. Product Master Data
  • Products must be flagged as FTZ-relevant in the Special Customs Procedures tab.
  • You define whether the product is a component or finished good.
  • For manufacturing in FTZs, Bill of Materials (BOM) must be maintained
3. Goods Movement Process
  • Inbound deliveries are posted in the feeder system (e.g., SAP WM).
  • These postings populate a worklist in GTS for FTZ admission processing.
  • Movement types like 601 (Goods Issue) and 643 (Stock Transfer) are configured for FTZ-specific processes
5. Inventory and Compliance Tracking
  • SAP GTS tracks receipts, issues, and transformations of goods within the FTZ.
  • It supports zone manufacturing, inventory reconciliation, and customs reporting.
  • Integration ensures real-time visibility and audit readiness
  • Benefits of Integration
  • Duty deferral or exemption until goods leave the FTZ.
  • Automated customs filings and compliance with U.S. CBP regulations.
  • Improved inventory accuracy and traceability.
  • Support for zone manufacturing and BOM-based tracking.
