Publication number: 20140330736Abstract: A method includes receiving an electronic logistics document containing logistics data of received goods, processing the logistics data, and generating an electronic customs declaration. Generating can include extracting from the logistics document logistics data, deriving from the extracted logistics data customs data related to a customs procedure, and generating for at least a part of the received goods an electronic customs declaration document containing the customs data. The method can include providing the electronic customs declaration document at an output interface, transmitting the electronic customs declaration document to an input interface of an electronic customs clearance declaration system, receiving, from the electronic customs clearance declaration system, clearance data regarding the received goods at a second input interface, and marking the logistics data with a first marking to signal that the customs procedure has been completed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2014Publication date: November 6, 2014Inventors: Hans Chelniak, Jochen Thierer, Christian Stadler, Stefan Brunner, Andreas Moschel

Publication number: 20140278693Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a cross-plant bill of materials (BOM) for a particular final end product that can be used by a central business system for performing various business analysis and processes quickly and efficiently are disclosed. The cross-plant BOM can include information from multiple bills of materials (BOMs) for multiple component products produced by multiple manufacturing plants. The list of manufacturing plants participating in the production of a particular end product is referred to as a plant group for business entities. The BOMs for the component products produced by various plants within the plant group for a final end product are inserted into or associated with the BOM for the final end product that includes the component products.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: SAP AGInventors: Eryi Zhang, Philippe Drouin, Uwe Frankenhauser, Andreas Stier, Jochen Thierer

Publication number: 20140244019Abstract: Techniques for bill of material (BOM) low-level code harmonization are disclosed. The BOMs from different sources for each product are ranked according to corresponding low-level codes of the end product. The BOMs are scanned in order to determine the lowest low-level code for all BOMs for a particular product. The BOMs for the particular product are then associated with the lowest low-level code. Once all the BOMs for each product are assigned the lowest low-level code for that product, then the BOMs are rescanned in the ranked order to determine the lowest low-level code associated with each end product in BOMs in which the end products are included as components. Each BOM for each end product is then associated with lowest low-level code from the BOM in which the end product is listed as a component. The harmonized low-level codes are used for determination of eligibility for preferential customs duties.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2013Publication date: August 28, 2014Applicant: SAP AGInventors: Eryi Zhang, Philippe Drouin, Uwe Frankenhauser, Andreas Stier, Jochen Thierer

Patent number: 8799141Abstract: A preference management framework allows for the management of vendor-based vendor declarations and of vendor declarations for customer's purposes, preference determination based on preference agreements, the provision of statements regarding the preference eligibility of goods based on preference determinations, and the printing of several preference related documents according to the relevant agreements. The framework is flexible enough for users to easily develop their own preference schemes for new preference agreements. Users may first define (or modify) their responsible areas for preference management by assigning (or removing) administrative units of a business to themselves. Then the users may begin the preference processing by choosing one of their assigned administrative units and any preference agreements relevant to that administrative unit may be automatically determined for possible following steps in preference processes which can now be started.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2011Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Eryi Zhang, Philippe Drouin, Jochen Thierer, Uwe Frankenhauser, Andreas Stier

Patent number: 7742970Abstract: Regulating trade activities comprises receiving information identifying a potential trading party, normalizing at least a portion of the received identifying information to generate a normalized identifier for the potential trading party, comparing the normalized identifier with one or more other normalized identifiers corresponding to parties with whom trade should be restricted, and selectively restricting trading with the potential trading party.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2002Date of Patent: June 22, 2010Assignee: SAP AktiengesellschaftInventors: Jochen Thierer, Torsten Zube

Publication number: 20070055584Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for tracking goods. In one implementation, commercial goods are tracked in a trade zone having customs procedures. The goods include sets of bonded goods that are stored at a plurality of physically non-contiguous bonded storage locations and at least one set of unbonded goods that are stored at one or more unbonded storage locations. A virtual zone is defined to include the bonded storage locations, the sets of goods in the virtual zone forming a net inventory. A transaction request is received to execute a transaction upon a target set of goods of the commercial goods. The transaction is evaluated to determine whether the transaction affects the net inventory of the virtual zone. If the transaction affects the net inventory of the virtual zone, a message is generated for a customs authority to comply with the customs procedures.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2005Publication date: March 8, 2007Inventors: Hans Chelniak, Pascale Van Laethem, Stefan Brunner, Andreas Moschel, Jochen Thierer, Wieland Schreiner
