Deemed Export

Deemed Export
Welcome to the SD-CIN-Deemed Export page.
This process is specific to India Localisation Business Scenario.

Overview
This scenario deals with Deemed Export or CT-1/CT-3 or SEZ sales that refer to sale of goods to customers within India, who are generally
holders of an export license. The materials sold are required to be used in the production of goods meant for ultimate export. The customers can
be an export-oriented unit (EOU) or located in one of the following areas:
An Export processing zone
An Electronic hardware technology park
A Software technology park.

Sales Process
For this Deemed Export sale:
An inquiry can be the first step in the order cycle. The purpose of this activity is to create an inquiry to represent the customers inquiry in the
system.
Then a quotation can be created to determine material, their quantities, prices and payment terms that are valid for a given sold-to customer
during a specified time period. As prerequisites, it can be referred from an existing inquiry and terms of payment need to be in place.
Then in system we need to capture the Customers License Details. This done for
Deemed Export License is captured in the system to represent customers licenses.
For capturing Customers License details like material, quantity, value, expiry date etc.,
Deliveries will take place against the license quantity / value.
As prerequisites, a copy of the license obtained by the customer from issued by relevant authorities.
Then a Sales Order is created to represent the customers requirement in the system. That will calculate the price and check for the availability of
materials. As prerequisites, it can be referred from an existing quotation and should mention material that are mentioned in customer licence
details.
Then with reference to the created sales order, a Pro Forma Invoice can be created in order to inform the customer about the value of the goods,
so that he will make arrangements for the payment to be made, when goods arrive at his place.
With reference to the created sales order, the delivery document is created for shipping point mention in sales order to pick the goods and post
goods issue based on availability of the ordered material.
With reference to post goods issue delivery material, a billing document is created to send a commercial invoice to the customer. It also updates
the corresponding GL Accounts. Further its output can be taken.
With post goods issue completed for the delivery and respective billing document generated, the Excise Invoice created for the excise authorities.
And subsequently print for accompanying materials that are being sent to the csurtomers.
ARE-3/ARE-1document is created with reference to generated outgoing Excise Invoice. This is assigned to a License captured for the customer.
This document is a proof that, goods are treated as Deemed exports and Excise duty does not need to be paid for these goods, which are
mentioned in the ARE-3/ARE-1.
After the responsible official confirms that all the details are correct, we can post the ARE-3/ARE-1 document. The changes are allowed to the
ARE-3/ARE-1 document only if, it is in the process pending posting. Once posted, the ARE-3/ARE-1 cannot be changed but can only be
cancelled.
Going further, we can print the ARE-3/ARE-1 documents for submitting to the customer and the excise authorities. After ARE-3/ARE-1 Document
is created and posted and also when the goods arrive at the Customers premises, they will check them against the excise invoice and the
ARE-3/ARE-1. If there are any discrepancies in the quantity of the goods, the customer will record the actual quantity received on the
ARE-3/ARE-1.To record the customers confirmation of the quantity delivered, we update the ARE-3/ARE-1 document.Finally, when the

countersigned ARE document arrives back at your premises from the customer, the ARE-3/ARE-1 is further updated with the date of receipt. This
closes the ARE-3/ARE-1.

Further Information:
Following are few of the License Types:
1. CT1,
2. CT2,
3. 108/95 (un-projects),
4. 15/2009(solar projects), etc.
So, when CT1 is one of the license types, for that you need to create ARE3 use TCode J_1IARE3. Then you need to capture license by using
TCode J1ILIC01.
Further, if your scenario is of exporting under bond, then you might need to create ARE1 use TCode J_1IARE1 and also create bond by using
TCode J1IBN01.
