Customs Value

The tax that is levied on an export article's value.

You can manually change the default value.

For example, you can change the customs value if:

  • A company delivers a spare part that is covered by the guarantee. The spare part's price is zero, but the spare part's value, and as a result the customs value, is greater than zero.
  • A company lends out a machine to a business partner abroad. The price for this service is zero, however the machine's value, and as a result the customs value, is greater than zero.

Note

Option list IDs are used on purchase orders to handle received configured items that deviate from the ordered configured items.

You have the following options:

  • The deviating configured item is received as an unexpected warehouse receipt and registered in the Purchase Orders (tdpur4100m000) session as a purchase order with the Warehousing Receipt origin. Therefore, the deviating item is not received against the schedule line, which remains open for receiving the correct configured item.
  • The deviating configured item is first received against the schedule line, but then returned by means of a return order.

As a result, this field can only be specified if, in the Purchase Orders (tdpur4100m000) session, the purchase order's Origin is Warehousing Receipt, or the purchase order is a return order of the Return Inventory order type.
