  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS_INTRASTAT036 - Member state of destination for customer not found in document & ?

    The SAP error message:

    WS_INTRASTAT036 Member state of destination for customer not found in document &

    typically occurs during the processing of Intrastat declarations in SAP. Intrastat is the system for collecting statistics on the trade in goods between EU member states.


    Cause

    • The error indicates that the Member State of destination (i.e., the EU country where the goods are being delivered) for the customer is missing or not maintained in the sales document or master data.
    • Specifically, the system cannot determine the destination country (Member State) for the customer involved in the transaction.
    • This is often because:
      • The customer master data does not have the country or region properly maintained.
      • The sales document (e.g., sales order, delivery) does not have the destination country assigned.
      • The country assigned is not recognized as a valid EU Member State in the Intrastat configuration.

    Solution

    1. Check Customer Master Data:

      • Go to transaction XD03 (Display Customer) or VD03.
      • Verify the Country field in the Address tab.
      • Ensure the country is an EU Member State and correctly maintained.
    2. Check Sales Document:

      • Review the sales order or delivery document.
      • Ensure the Ship-to party or Customer has a valid destination country.
      • Check the Shipping point and Delivery address for correct country data.
    3. Maintain Intrastat Configuration:

      • Verify that the country is maintained as an EU Member State in the Intrastat customizing.
      • Use transaction OBXD or navigate via SPRO:
        • Logistics Execution ? Foreign Trade/Customs ? Intrastat ? Basic Settings ? Define Member States.
      • Ensure the country code is active and correctly configured.
    4. Update the Document or Master Data:

      • If missing, update the customer master or sales document with the correct destination country.
      • Reprocess the Intrastat declaration after correction.
    5. Check for User Exits or Enhancements:

      • Sometimes custom code may override or affect the determination of the destination country.
      • Review any user exits or BADIs related to Intrastat processing.
