ALE/EDI - Process of Inbound Freight Invoice EDI Document 210

Question

Good day all and a Happy New Year!  We want to receive Freight Invoices from UPS and other carrier vendors into SAP, to track actual shipment charges.  My question is, which Idoc/message type, should I use in order to map to the EDI document number 210, which is a Freight Invoice we will be receiving and posting into SAP?  Thank you for your support.

Answer 1

Hi,
we can't send the PO number with the shipment notification. At that point of time, the PO doesn't exist.
The PO is created with another INVOIC01 IDOC, which automatically creates a shipment cost document (SCD). Only then, the PO is created according to the SCD.
In the meantime, I found something myself.
1. The option to use the "Transportation Agent" is not available in standard SAP for EDI receipts. (Confirmed by SAP).
2. Instead, we are now using the "delivery note" number from the service entry sheet. In our case, the delivery note has the same number as the shipment.
To use that, you need to have:
E1EDK02 and E1EDP02 with qualifier 016 and then the delivery note number with leading zeros (10 digits) and the item position on item level.
Partner SP is required on item level.
When we check the document, it now determines the service PO automatically in MIRO.
We now have to solve a tax problem, but the core function is working..
