Import Licenses Check

Infor LN executes a specific search logic for import license linked to a document.

If exceptions for the document are not specified in the Import Document Exceptions (tcgtc0130m100) session, the search are based on the Document Type, Country, Buy-from Business Partner, Ship-from Business Partner, Purchase Order Type, and search date.

  • For the country, the value specified in the ship-from address field is considered.
  • For order lines, the planned receipt date is considered as the Search Date.
  • For receipt lines, the current date is considered as the search date.
  • Advanced Shipment Notices, if applicable ( An advance shipment notice is received before a shipment is fulfilled and the compliance check is executed for the record).
Note
  • When an import exception exists, an import license search is not executed and an internal check is not executed.
  • When a license is not located, an internal check cannot be performed as the valid data is not available. A compliance check failure is logged in the Document Compliance Check Results (tcgtc1510m000) session, with a failure reason code. The license ID is empty in the result record.
Types of checks

If an import license is located, two types of checks are executed:

Note

These checks are only executed when Limited Quantity Applies or Limited Value Applies is selected on the used license.

Quantity check:

  • For a purchase order line, the ordered quantity converted to inventory unit is used.
  • For a receipt line, the quantity to be received (in inventory unit) is used.
  • Advanced Shipment Notices, if applicable ( An advance shipment notice is received before a shipment is fulfilled and the compliance check is executed for the record).

Value check

  • For a purchase order line, the formula (net order line amount – order discount amount) calculation is used.
  • For a receipt line, the value is equal to the value of the quantity to be received. This value is based on the commercial price on the purchase order, schedule delivery line, or both. The correct material price is also specified on the receipt line.
  • Amounts are converted to the license currency using internal currency rates.
  • For receipt lines with origin other than Purchase Order or Purchase Schedule, the value of the quantity to be received must be determined, based on the commercial price of the item. Else, the customs value can be used, if applicable.

Compliance Check Failure

If all the relevant information is not specified, the compliance check fails:

  • If the value for the License Number field is not specified, a check failure occurs. Exception: When the Screening Code is set to No License Required, you are not required to specify the License Number.
  • If license data is not specified, a compliance check failure is logged with the Failure Reason Code set to Missing Master Data.
  • When the Limited Quantity Applies or Limited Value Applies check box is selected in the Import Licenses (tcgtc0120m100) session, a check is executed to ensure if the quantity or value of the document can be validated. If the remaining quantity or value specified on the located import license is less than the quantity or value of the document, the compliance check fails. A compliance check failure is logged with the Failure Reason Code set to Operational Issue.
Note

A check is also executed to validate if Item Compliance Data is available for the item and country, of the document. When item data is not available, a compliance check failure is logged with the Failure Reason Code set to Missing Item Compliance Data.
