What are the critical data collection requirements in SAP GTS that compliance and global trade teams consistently overlook, exposing their organisation to audit failures, customs penalties, and supply chain disruptions? The Data Collection in SAP GTS Kit is a comprehensive self-assessment solution that delivers 1,515 prioritised, ready-to-use requirements across all core data domains in SAP Global Trade Services, enabling you to rapidly identify gaps, align with international regulatory standards, and build a defensible compliance posture. Without a structured assessment, organisations risk incomplete data sets, failed customs filings, rejected shipments, and non-compliance with export control regimes such as EAR, ITAR, and EU Dual-Use. This toolkit ensures you proactively validate every data element required for accurate classification, screening, licensing, and reporting, transforming data collection from a reactive burden into a strategic advantage.
What You Receive
- 1,515 prioritised data collection requirements organised by SAP GTS module (Import/Export Management, Licence Management, Restricted Party Screening, Customs Duty Calculation), enabling you to assess completeness and accuracy across all compliance workflows
- 24-domain maturity assessment framework covering data governance, integration points, master data controls, auditability, and regulatory alignment, with scoring rubrics to benchmark current capability against industry best practices
- Gap analysis matrix (Excel format) that maps each requirement to relevant compliance outcomes, risk severity, and remediation effort, allowing you to prioritise actions based on impact and urgency
- Regulatory traceability index linking data fields to specific clauses in WCO SAFE, GDPR for trade data, US CBP regulations, and INCOTERMS 2020, ensuring your data model supports legal defensibility during audits
- Implementation roadmap template (Word) with phased milestones, stakeholder responsibilities (RACI), and system integration checklists to guide deployment or enhancement of SAP GTS data collection processes
- 60 real-world use cases and failure scenarios drawn from multinational audits and customs investigations, illustrating how missing or inaccurate data leads to fines, shipment delays, and lost trading privileges
- Instant digital download of all files in editable, analysis-ready formats: Excel (.xlsx), Word (.docx), and PDF for sharing with SAP consultants, auditors, or compliance officers
How This Helps You
This self-assessment empowers compliance managers, trade automation leads, and SAP security officers to systematically verify that all mandatory data elements are captured, validated, and maintained within SAP GTS. By conducting a full data coverage audit in under two business days, you eliminate blind spots that lead to incorrect commodity codes, flawed sanctions screening, or unlicensed exports, all high-risk failure points during customs audits. The result? Faster clearance times, reduced inspection rates, and demonstrable compliance with internal controls and external regulators. Inaction risks repeated audit findings, escalating penalties (up to USD 250,000 per violation under EAR), and reputational damage from public enforcement actions. With this kit, you turn data collection into a repeatable, auditable process, reducing manual effort by up to 70% while increasing data accuracy and stakeholder confidence.
