Import Licenses overview

Import licenses contain information such as license type, license number, screening code, and limited quantity or limited value (if applicable). You can use the Import Licenses (tcgtc0120m100) session to create and maintain import license data. The import licenses can be defined at various levels in the Import Licenses (tcgtc0620m100) session:

  • Country Set
  • Country
  • Business Partner Set
  • Buy-from Business Partner
  • Ship-from Business Partner
  • Ship-from Address
  • Document Origin
  • Document Company
  • Document
  • Item
Search logic or priority rules for licenses

Infor LN uses the following search mechanism for a valid license that is applicable for the document:

  • License for which at least one of these fields is specified, Ship-from Address, or Country, or Buy-from Business Partner, or Item
  • License for which a Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) is specified. Consequently, the import license with the MPN specified, is assigned the highest priority.
  • A document is specified with the Document Origin and Document Company data. The data can only be specified in combination in the Document field.
  • Only the document is specified and the linked import license is assigned the highest priority.
Search priority

The search priority rules are based on the information specified in the following fields:

Search priority based on Business Partner, Address and Countries
  • When a country set or business partner set is specified, all the sets in which the country or business partner are specified, are checked. A country and business partner can be linked to multiple country sets and business partner sets, respectively.
  • When the buy-from BP differs from the ship-from BP, the business partners can be linked to different business partner sets, first the BP set(s) of the ship-from BP is searched and later the BP set(s) of the buy-from BP. So, the ship-from BP set has a higher priority than the buy-from BP set.
Note
  • Additional information on licenses or license changes can be specified using the Notes option in the Import Licenses (tcgtc0120m100) session, which are linked to the import license.
  • You can exclude documents from the compliance checks, for example, a specific country or a specific business partner.
