• Key Concepts: 
  Special circumstances are a feature of SAP Foreign Trade Management (FTM) that allows users to define and manage special trade regulations. These regulations can be used to control the flow of goods and services across international borders. Special circumstances can be used to define rules for export and import processes, such as customs clearance, taxes, and other related activities. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Special circumstances can be used to define rules for export and import processes. To use special circumstances, users must first create a special circumstance profile in the FTM system. This profile contains all the necessary information about the special circumstance, such as the type of goods being exported or imported, the country of origin or destination, and any applicable taxes or fees. Once the profile is created, users can then assign it to specific transactions in order to ensure that all applicable regulations are followed.

This includes the type of goods being exported or imported, the country of origin or destination, and any applicable taxes or fees. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes in regulations or laws that may affect the special circumstance profile.
