What to Expect from SAP GTS, edition for SAP HANA 2023

With the release of SAP Global Trade Services, edition for SAP HANA 2023, we will see several innovations that provide additional business value.

Overview Innovations

Co-Deployment with SAP S/4HANA 2022

Co-deployment is an option to install SAP GTS on the same system instance as SAP S/4HANA, however, in a separate client. This was not possible with the 2020 release of SAP GTS, edition for SAP HANA.

Co-deployment will lower the TCO and entry-level investments through the possibility to share infrastructure between SAP S/4HANA and SAP GTS, edition for SAP HANA 2023.

Pro and Con Matrix

Support U.S. Partner Government Agency Import Filing

A new configurable and more future-proof solution for PGAs is available with SAP GTS, edition for SAP HANA 2023 making it easier to comply with the increasing requirements of the PGAs.

A PGA (Partner Government Agency) is a government agency that works alongside the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that regulate commodities exported or imported into the U.S. ​
​
Some PGAs include: ​

• Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)​
• Federal Drug Administration (FDA)​
• Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)​
• Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF)​
• National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)​

Products regulated by PGAs often require permits or other additional documentation, so many PGAs have their own import guides. ​
​
If a PGA refuses an import shipment, CBP will consequently not allow the goods to enter U.S. commerce. 

Management of Preference Data for Product Identifiers

You can increase the eligibility rate for preferential origin with the new functionality Management of Preference Data for Product Identifiers. With this new feature, you use preference calculation to determine the preference eligibility of identity-based goods produced via process or production orders. As a result, different batches of the same product can hold different preferential eligibility, reducing the need to assume “worst case” during preference determination. Similar functionality was available in SAP GTS 11.0 through an add-on named IBPP (Identity-Based Preference Processing). It is now embedded in SAP GTS, edition for SAP HANA 2023, and available for all.

Exchange of Intercompany Long-term Supplier Declarations
