Status Management for Export Declaration in ATLAS
- ATLAS employs a structured status management system for export procedures.
- Each message in the system includes a unique two-digit numeric status code.
- These status codes document customs decisions at each stage.
Key Status Codes in the Export Process
- Message I2400: Status 17 (Acceptance of Export Declaration).
- Message I2410: Status 31 (Release of Goods).
- Message I2420: Status 33 (Exit Confirmed).
- Message I2430: Used to identify errors in the export declaration.
Error Identification and Correction in ATLAS
- Errors in ATLAS are represented by an eight-digit alphanumeric code.
- The error indicates a mismatch between the approved and recorded loading locations.
- The correct code should be updated in SAP GTS to align with ATLAS records.
- Once corrected, Message M0940 should be resent.
Reprocessing Export Declarations
- After correcting errors, resubmit the declaration via Message M0940.
- SAP GTS generates a second entry for Message M0940.
- Ensure all data is accurate before resubmission.
Automated Checks and Incompleteness Verification
- SAP GTS performs automated checks to ensure completeness before submission.
- Despite these checks, technical errors may still occur.
- Users must manually verify customs declarations to prevent errors.
Tracking Goods and Exit Confirmation
- If exit confirmation is not received within 90 days, the customs office sends an inquiry.
- Inquiry message I2425 prompts exporters to clarify the shipment’s status.
- Exporters must respond within 45 days via Message M0905.
- ATLAS participants can initiate an inquiry after 70 days if necessary.
Monitoring Exit Confirmations

/SAPSLL/REPA_CUS
) to track exit notes. - This function helps ensure timely receipt of customs confirmations.
Processing Customs Inquiries
- Upon receiving Message I2425, users must process the inquiry.
- SAP GTS generates an outbound message M0905 for response.
- If the customs declaration is incomplete, corrective actions are required before sending the response.
Providing Information on Shipment Status

Manual Post-Processing Status

- The process is completed by selecting Edit > Resolve Manual Post-Processing in the customs declaration menu.
- Once confirmed, SAP GTS marks the status as Canceled, allowing message M0905 to be sent.
