The high-performance component for exports in the pharmaceutical industry

With this add-in we have enhanced the SAP standard with a particularly practical solution for the pharmaceutical industry. Tariff preference management is used to determine a minimum selling price for preferential exports in accordance with customs law-related criteria. The component determines whether or not your products can be classified as being originating products – if they originate from the economic zone from which you export or dispatch goods. If they are determined to be originating products, they could be preferential and therefore not liable for customs duty or qualify for lower fiscal charges.

The actual management process itself embraces the following steps which greatly accelerate and enhance the plausibility of your preferential pharmaceutical distribution activities:

• provision of supplier declarations relating to origin of goods
• maintenance of master data – supplier declarations and statistical product numbers – also plant-wide
• consolidation of supplier declarations – taking account of the incoming goods at all plants that fall within an accounting area as a basis for implicitly correct, preferential exporting

• preference calculation – with plant-wide bill explosion and consideration of production at various locations – calculation up to finished batch level
• determination of preference in sales records: this extends well beyond the mere examination of the minimum selling price. For example, a freight surcharge can also be levied depending on the supply plant, the production hierarchy and the customs area (or location). Comprehensive and easily comprehendible reports are also included.
