  How to use it: 
  Customs ceiling can be set up in the SAP system by going to the SD-FT module and selecting the “Customs Ceiling” option. From there, you can enter the maximum value for your customs declarations. Once this is done, any customs declarations that exceed this value will be blocked from being processed.
