SAP Global Trade Services Think Tank: USMCA Revisited

Aug 25, 2020 | 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM CDT
Online
Included with membership

Think Tanks con­nect you with peers nav­i­gat­ing the same chal­lenges and oppor­tu­ni­ties as you. ASUG will facil­i­tate an inter­ac­tive peer-to-peer exchange where solu­tions are shared for top­ics spe­cif­ic to your role and interest.

Ear­li­er in 2020 we had a ses­sion on Unit­ed States-Mex­i­co-Cana­da Agree­ment (USM­CA) and SAP Glob­al Trade Ser­vices (GTS), focused on plan­ning for USM­CA. Now that the trade deal is in place and we have had a month of expe­ri­ence, this is a chance for users to ask ques­tions and raise points relat­ed to the use of SAP GTS for USMCA. 

The for­mat for Tues­day, Aug. 25 at 10 a.m. CT will include: 

  • Brief wel­come and kick­off from ASUG 

  • Rapid case study led by ASUG mem­ber Kevin Rid­dell from Trem­co Inc. 

  • The dis­cus­sion will focus on: 

  • USM­CA allows the use of de min­imis with net cost, not just trans­ac­tion val­ue. SAP GTS com­pares de min­imis only against the sell­ing price. How can we take advan­tage of this new option? 

  • NAF­TA cer­ti­fi­ca­tion of ori­gin had to come from the exporter and worked well with SAP GTS func­tion­al­i­ty focused on issu­ing cer­tifi­cates of ori­gin to cus­tomers (based on an invoice doc­u­ment). USM­CA allows for cer­ti­fi­ca­tion by the pro­duc­er, with no ref­er­ence to any spe­cif­ic importer, exporter, or trans­ac­tion. How can we gen­er­ate such a cer­ti­fi­ca­tion of ori­gin in SAP GTS? 

  • Will share how the new addi­tion­al con­di­tions are option­al, not required, which was a fear until we could test it: good news! 

  • Any oth­er points or ques­tions mem­bers want to raise 

  • Shar­ing of recent wins or suc­cess­es, along with resources utilized 

Gain vis­i­bil­i­ty into the chal­lenges and suc­cess­es oth­er SAP cus­tomers are expe­ri­enc­ing, and acquire new ideas for real-world solutions. 

If you are expe­ri­enc­ing chal­lenges and would like to lead your own case study, fill out the sur­vey here. 

Think Tank Insights:

  • New USM­CA high lev­el con­di­tions are optional.
  • If you are SP15 or abovem you will have more flex­i­bil­i­ty and capabilities.
