Apportionment of shipment costs

Hello,
In our solution, the shipment cost are posted as delivery costs during the putaway.
If we make changes to the delivery data (in quantity), the delivery costs are received per item according to the weight (the apportionment of the costs are made according to the weight).
But, this is done according to the quantity we receive and not the quantity initialy saved in the inbound delivery.
For example, we have 100$ for shipment cost for two PO, two Inbound deliveries and one transport.
PO 1 :
Material A : 50 Kg.
PO 2 :
Material B : 50 Kg.
If the good receipt is:
PO 1 :
Material A : 1 Kg.
PO 2 :
Material B : 50 Kg.
the shipment cost will be apportionned like as following:
Material A : 1$.
Material B : 50$.
And, what we would like is :
Material A : 2$.
Material B : 98$.
For us, the total price has to be 100$ even if we receive only a part of the inbound delivery.
Do you have any idea on how we could manage that ?
Thanks,
Regards

Hi,
I think we have a similar requirement. For FCA transports is the transport cost zero. We have created a seperate condition in the cost procedure as a condition class A ( discount or surcharge ) in T_06. This has an access sequence assigned which uses a 9xx condition table (T_03) with fields Service agent f.stage ( TDLNR ) and
Incoterms ( INCO1 ). This enables us to maintain condition records in TK12. So FCA is maintained with 100 % deduction and thus no costs.

Freight apportionment in shipment costing

HI We use shipment costing for freight calculations for stock transfers. One scenario is the shipment cost is a fixed amount based on route. What is happening in the system is that if there are multiple materials in the shipment, entire shipment cost amount is getting loaded onto the last material in the shipment instead of loading proportionately across all materials in the shipment.
Has anyone encountered this and how has this been resolved?
Sriram

Hi Augustine
Condition is set as delivery item. It has 51 as the requirement. But there is no routine 650. The last routine is 606. When I use the combination 51 and 606, system is distributing the value uniformly across all material instead of proportionately as per the material weight. What is desired is a proportional distribution based on the material weight in the shipment. Any ideas?
Thanks
Sriram

Any UserExit while Posting Shipment cost?

Dear All,
SD transportation/shipment cost integration with MM-Account Payable.
Process:
1. VA01 - create sales order
2. VL01n - create Delivery
3. VL02n - PGI
4. VT01n - create Shipment
5. VI01 - create shipment cost doc.
Here PO will get generated automatically. For that PO, a service entry sheet is created for every L.R no given by Transport vendor. Then MIRO is posted for the service entry sheet.Payment is done against that.
But my client's requirement is that normally transporter will have contract with the company. Transporters supply to various Customer place and raises the bill for every L.R no.
In case of Transporteru2019s freight bills settlement, vendor invoice posting should be L.R no wise which is captured in Shipment
L.R no wise tracking is required for Transporteru2019s payment.
I understand that there is no SAP STD integration of LR number of shipment doc with vendor Incoming Invoice posting. But Vendor invoice can be posted for multiple POs.
When shipment document is created, the system will generate PO automatically in the background. L.R number is to be captured and should be passed on to PO doc through USER EXIT.
Hence I request you to kindly reply USER EXIT available for Shipment doc. so that the customization (development) can be done in transporteru2019s (vendor) payment L.R No. wise.
Please reply your view in this regard.

Anbu

VI01 - Shipment Costs (combining Deliveries from Shipment document)

Hello experts
Do you know how to combine (consolidate) the shipment costing line item (VI01) when there are more than one Delivery to the same customer in the Shipment document?
E.g. I have a Shipment with 58 Deliveries and for a specific customer has 2 Deliveries, the Shipment Costing (VI01) must to create just one line item consolidating the 2 Deliveries for that customer, not to split 2 lines (one line for each Delivery).
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Shipment cost issue

Dear all,
I want to do Stock transfer process between 2 company codes, and Transpotartion Planning Point is Receving CCode.
So, when i create Shipment cost, there is an error:
Company codes are different: Delievery 2620/0080000228 shipment 6620/0000001188
Message no. VY012
Diagnosis
A delivery is assigned to a different company code than the shipment to be calculated.
This is not allowed if the costs are to be distributed at the level of delivery or delivery item.
System Response
Account assignment and settlement is not possible for this shipment cost item.
Procedure
If you want to carry out settlement for this shipment, then the costs can only be carried out at the shipment cost item level.
Delete the shipment cost item.
Create a new shipment cost item for this shipment or shipment stage with another shipment cost item category.
Im Customizing, cost apportionment 'A' should be entered for this category.
Ofcouse i know the problem.
In the Configuration for Item Category - Settlement, i set:
Cost dist.: C Delivery item, ... Origin CO: C Sequence: Delivery, order, G/L account
If i change to value A - Shipment cost item, it'll be OK. But in other client, value C is OK.
Pls tell me what is wrong?
Thanks alot,
Quanglv

Hi Quang,
The company check is standard in the shipment costing in SAP.
However, if cross-company settlement for shipment costing is required, then you would need to look into the following SAP Note:
[SAP Note 963452|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=963452]
[SAP Note 699343|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=699343]
The error message resulting from the check would need to be surpressed, and standard system modification would be required to achieve cross-company shipment costing.
Please be informed that this modification would not be supported by SAP. You may want to check with ThanhCT on this.
Hope the above helps.
Thanks.

User exit/BADI for condition type in shipment costing

Hi! Does anyone know of any user exit or BADI or function module we can use to populate a value to a custom condition type we have created for shipment costing? We want to calculate the customs duty charges based on the purchase price of the item in the PO. As such, we need to go extract this information on the PO and populate it on the condition type.
Appreciate any help on this.
Cheers!

Control of Incoterms in creation of Shipment Costs

Dear All,
We calculate shipment costs (Through Transportation module in SD-Freight payment-Outwards) on calculation base A (Delivery) or B
(Delivery item) and do not want to calculate deliveries that have certain
Incoterms (for example, TOP-To Pay, where Customer makes payment to Transporter).
By default, the system always creates a subitem in the shipment cost
document for the corresponding calculation base for every delivery item or for every delivery involved.
We want to have Control over certain Incoterms where we don't pay to the customers. We want to restrict the users not to calculate Shipment Costs in TOP-To pay cases. Kindly help if any Userexits available for this scenario to handle.

How to update sales order number (KAUFN) characteristic in the profitability segment of the PA document created at the time of service entry sheet confirmation, as a result of shipment cost document

Hi,
We have a scenario wherein we create shipment cost documents against delivery. As a result of shipments fully transferred, a PO for freight vendor is automatically created and a service entry sheet confirmation happens. As a result of service entry sheet confirmation, we have Financial accounting, Controlling and profitability analysis documents created. We have a requirement wherein we need to have the characteristic “sales order number (KAUFN)” populated in the profitability analysis document created as a result of service entry sheet confirmation.
Could someone please advice how could this be attained in COPA. Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Sandeep

Hi Ajay,
Thank you for the quick update.
The document is updated to COPA through OKB9 settings. The profitability segment is updated with fields like customer, product, company code, plant, sales area data, profit center, etc; however the sales order number is missing.
Could you please elaborate further how could FI substitution be implemented to call for the FM COPA_PROFITABILITY_SEGMENT through user exit? Are you recommending the substitution through GGB1? What could be the possible validation to call for the user exit to be implemented?
Regards,
Sandeep Kulkarni

Shipment cost based on Value

I need your valuable suggestion on how to create the Value based shipment cost.
Our Process:
Create POS - Create Inbound delivery - Create Shipment - Create Shipment cost - Post Inbound Delivery.
So while posting the inbound delivery, the freight cost will post against the material. The invoice will be paid for the Vendor for the quantity purchased and freight charge will be paid for the freight Vendor(s).
We are adding the Vendor in the Shipment and adding the cost against the Vendor in the Shipment Cost.
Everything is working fine, but the shipment cost posting against the material was happening based on the delivery weight / quantity.
The reason for this asking the question is - we are receiving high value items and low value items with the same weight.
Question 1: Is it possible to have the shipment cost being split, calculated and posted against the material based on the PO Item received Value or PO Price
Quesion 2: Is it possible to post the shipment cost at a later date? Currently, the shipment cost posts when the inbound delivery is received (I know the material value will be posted when there is stock changes or price changes). But our issue is the invoice for the shipment cost will be received after a couple of days from the goods receipt. Right now we are entering couple of costs through assumption, then while postig the invoice, we adjust that value.
Note: I cannot enter the condition directly in the PO, as the same PO item will be partially received by multiple inbound deliveries

Freight carriers charges weight on the basis of Weight / volume of the items.SAP shipment works on the same principle.
Cost of transporting ton of Potataoes is same as transporting 10 ton of aluminium between two known destinations.
Hence it is illogical to distributes cost on the basis of item value. However if still you want to distribute the same on value basis then maintain freight condition(%) in PO as per your prefined logic of distribution of freight cost.
It is well known fact that cost of freight % is always higher in Low value items & iis low in case of High value items.

Sanjay Kohli

Issue in creating Invoice when route is not relevant for shipment cost.

Dear All,
We are facing a problem while creating an Invoice. The route used in shipment in not relevant for shipment costing. Shipment type is relevant for costing. So in normal scenario if I don't remove the tick mark from "Shipment cost relanace" at shipment type and proceed with Invoicing I get error as " SHipment costing is not complete", which is correct. The scenario works well if item/s in delivery are not batch split.
But, if items in delivery are batch split and "shipment cost relevance" check is not removed from shipment type then, only batch split items get copied in invoice. Header item is deleted and invoice gets saved, which should not happen.I don't get error in this scenario.
How should I make the error in invocie work in case of batch split items also? Could anyone please let me know?
Thanks!

Dear Manmeet Mohan K,
Can you please check the copy controls in between delivery document to invoice(VTFL)
Thanks&Regards

Shipment Cost - ERS (Evaluated receipt settlement)

Hi,
We are using Shipment cost documents to calculate the customer freight.
In shipment cost document, we need to transfer the amount to accounting.
In that case system will create PO automatically. This is all good.
Now, We need to activate ERS for all the vendors, in that case when we transfer the shipment costs to accounting, system is asking to enter Tax code.
We are not using Tax determination at all in shipment cost document.
Can't we use ERS without Tax code?
Where does this Tax code come from into shipment costing document? is it through Tax determination condition technique?
is there any way we can deactivate Tax code?
Please suggest.
Thanks.

Hi Sandra,
For such issues there is a pro-active approach by way of tolerances in MM-LIV. If your tolerances are configured properly, the system won't go so far as posting an invoice in ERS. It would show you a red flag by raising an exception.
ERS as a functionality entirely depends on the PO prices. There is no check as in the conventional LIV. Thus, I am afraid you won't have an audit trail straightforward.

Vishal.

For Standard Materials, Tax code is defaulting from Info record.
As freight is a service, we only have Short text in the PO not the material.
Is there any way i can create info record for service materials? so that i can enter tax code in info record and that defaults into PO.
Thanks.

Error while saving VI02 Shipment Cost

Hi,
We are testing here transportation module in new company code.
While saving VI03 Shipment cost, system is not creating Purchase order, as item catagory D-Service.
It is giving error that, Document type NB is not defined for Starnd PO.
But we have created new PO document type FR01 instead of NB.
Is there any posibility to assign PO Document type FR01 for shipment cost?
Waiting for your reply.
Thanks,
Samir Bhatt

Hello Samir,
the purchase order is generated with report RV54POCR, which is called as soon as no suitable purchase order is available and the item category is set for po generation.
Which document type is used for the purchase order generation depends on default po type assigned to the transactions ME21N/ME21. Please check the following code of the generation report:
Get Default PO type
CALL FOR TCODE ME21N FIRST, IF NOT FOUND, CALL FOR ME21.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM t160 WHERE tcode EQ 'ME21N'.
IF NOT sy-subrc IS INITIAL.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM t160 WHERE tcode EQ 'ME21'.
ENDIF.
Depending on your business needs you are able to assign a different type or to use the corresponding user exit which is called short after the above coding.
I hope I was able to help you with this issue!
Regards,
Tom
