Checklist for Customizing FT Master Data in SAP MM

Purpose

Listed below are the areas of Customizing you need to check to ensure you have fully maintained

the foreign trade master data, check objects, and proposal objects. Because the system’s

defaults depend on settings in Customizing, the more fully you maintain this data, the more

complete the data in the purchasing and sales documents will be, and the more efficient the

system will be to use.
