Documentation about Freight Cost Extentions

Hi,
Can anybody provide documentation about the FCX freight cost extentions - Business process, reading materials and configurations?
Thank you.
Regards

Jürgen,
this presentation addresses the point about RCM and not specifically about FCX. It never says if I can implement FCX without a link to the Rail scenario that is explained and for which I'm not necessarily interested in. And it does not give enough details about it neither.
I'm sorry you lost your time searching for this presentation in particular, but it's not the documentation that is asked for nor the answer to the original thread "Freight Cost Extensions" - business process, reading materials and configuration.
Nevertheless, I will indeed follow your advice and contact SAP for it. I was hoping that since 2007 when this document was created, more information was reachable and someone on SCN would be able to help out without having to contact SAP directly.
Thanks for your swift replies up until now!

Post freight cost to a different a GL account during 411-K for consignment PO Process

We are planning to implement PO consignment for one of the client.
The scenario is, client pays the freight cost to the supplier in advance upon receipt of consignment stock .When consignment stock is moved to own stock (411k), during the movement of the stock we need to create two accounting entries one for the material cost and the other for freight cost such that the freight can be adjusted with advance paid freight cost. Freight cost can be settled manually with another PO but the requirement is moving average price of the material should include the cost of material and freight cost .
For an example if the material cost is $100(PB00) and freight cost is $10(FAR1 - 10%), during 411k it should create two entries one for material cost($100) and the other for freight cost($10) which can be adjusted manually.
We tried by adding freight condition (FRA1) in consignment info record along with PB00 –Gross price and in this case during 411k it is summing both the prices($110) and posting to one GL account and the same settles during MRKO but what we are looking for is how we can split this into $100 and $10 .
I know standard SAP does not support this this during 411k.
I want to know if there is any User exit, pricing procedure, routines, etc... Or any other way that can be used to achieve this requirement. Appreciate more detailed answer

Hi,
   As you know, currently the delivery cost are not supported in consignment and pipeline settlement. The system design is explained in the note: 208555 - MB11 Delivery costs for pipeline and consignment.
   If you want delivery cost in consignment, you have to go for development. There should be additional entry for delivery costs in RKWA table. I am not sure about the feasibility, but still would like to share the below points:
   For creating additional entry in the accounting document while doing MB1B / MB11, you may check the BADI AC_DOCUMENT.
   You may refer the note: 165647 - Documentation: Enhancement RMVKON00 (MM-IV) which explains some enhancements related to consignment settlement.

Verizon Wireless is About to Cost Me a Home!!!!!!!!!

This is EXTREMELY frustrating and I'm about to lose the home I really want to buy.
I applied for a mortgage this month (January 2014) and that's when I realized there's collections activity on all 3 credit bureaus with Verizon that I already paid. These collections are affecting my loan approval and now my mortgage loan is on hold. I have a bid on a house that I'm about to lose because Verizon's recovery department can't get their act together and is giving me the runaround. I PAID THIS ACCOUNT LAST SUMMER.
Last summer, I had a balance outstanding with Verizon on a couple subaccounts. I called recovery and they said I had a balance of $643.19. I paid this full amount about a week after the phone call (all documented).
When I discovered the collections on my credit bureaus. I immediately checked my bank account dating back to last summer and it shows the payment POSTED clearly saying "Verizon Wireless Bill Pay" etc.... I called recovery the next day after being transferred 3 times and wait times totaling 43 minutes while I'm at work. I explain my long story to the rep and she asked me to fax in the bank statement that shows it cleared and she said they'll call me within 48 hours (this was last week. I faxed it immediately and also attached a blank check to show it's my account (accounts numbers match).
Of course I didn't get a call back so I called them on Friday to get an update because the realtor, the mortgage lender, the seller and myself are all waiting on this. There are no updates and the rep asked me to call back Monday. This is after I had to explain to whole entire story again. After explaining the story each time, the rep always tries to fix it even though I adamantly tell them they can't fit it and just to check the notes and give me an update.
Fast forward to Thursday and two more phone calls, two more times of explaining the story to new reps, two more supervisors, I STILL haven't had a resolution yet. Now they're asking for my full credit card number to search the payment. WHY SHOULD I GIVE MY CREDIT CARD NUMBER AGAIN WHEN THIS IS NOT MY MISTAKE AND IS VERIZON'S MISTAKE????? I made the payment, it says it clearly on my bank statement, my bank will back me up on this!! I'm about to lose the home I want to purchase because Verizon lost my payment! I want this escalated to someone that CAN help with a sense of urgency since nobody else seems to care that Verizon's mistake is about to cost me a home. The rep told me to email the "Contact Us" link on the website. Are you kidding???? THat's how I escalate to someone higher up? To email a general email address that thousands of other customers are emailing?? Unacceptable....
I have been given 3 days to get this cleared up or I lose the bid on the home. If that happens, this WILL become news. If they cannot locate my payment after over a week, I don't think they will and I will lose this house. Even if I lose it and apply for another home, these collections WILL still show on my credit bureau and I'm still screwed over by Verizon. Desperate cry for help online...is there ANYONE that can actually help or did I just waste a week and lose a home? If this remains on my credit report and I can't get a mortgage, then this WILL go viral online and make news. It's only fair I get it credited and it gets removed from my credit report. I've sent in a bank statement, a screenshot, a blank check showing matching account numbers and now they want my credit card number. This is completely unacceptable and people need to be aware of this...

First off the non payment to verizon was indeed correct. You admit this in your post.
Secondly, correct information even if paid in full will stay on your credit report for 7-10 years. Any subsequent posting to the trade line will again make it show longer. Read the link it is the law.
Your state of residence may have credit reporting laws similar to the Federal Law.
A mortgage lender can in most cases overlook certain debts that have been paid. It varies from lender to lender. I know a couple that had a electric company bill posted on his credit report, not a big invoice just $90 the electric company never sent the invoice after they moved or the post office did not forward it. In any case the bank only needed a letter from the creditor stating that the invoice has been paid in full.
They received their mortgage and the credit bureaus show it as paid.
However verizon wireless will not be able to assist you with such documents because of just where and who in this large company can produce the document you need? And they will not remove the information from your three credit bureaus. The information that you were late, or went to collections, or charged off is factual so it will remain.
When we bought our home we had the credit union give us an advanced copy to see where we stood. They even said they would use the report from the best one we liked. Needless to say we have no negative dings so getting mortgage and personal lines of credit are no problem. You have to watch your report very carefully and often.
I know that is no comfort to you now. The good part about this is *IF* because of Verizon's not reporting properly or it being in error that could have been fixed, you can get a lawyer and sue for three times the amount of the mortgage you lost due to their error. However if the information is correct be it paid or unpaid the black mark will stand.
Good Luck

No Freight cost on AR Down Payment Invoice

Hello,
My customer needs to create an 100% AR Down Payment Invoice based on a Sales Order with freight costs. But this is not copied across, plus you don't have the option to add this either..
How can this be done, I don't see an option.
Regards,
Petronella

Hi,
Could that be manipulated with SDK?! (The down payment module does not have the option to add additional expesnes. It will only work with Line item totals.)
Thanks for the other option, I'll advice the client about this.

Inbound Logistics: What are the best options to capture freight costs?

We attempted to implement a freight payables solution which was built on Inbound Deliveries> Inbound Shipments> Inbound Shipment Cost Documents. The PO line items were flagged with a conf.control key which made the above inbound documents relevant.
Very long story short, we had to remove this functionality because of two major issues:
1.     The Inbound Deliveries were created with incorrect quantities some of the time. When the Inbound Deliveries were created with incorrect quantity those errors caused major problems (e.g., over accrual of freight cost to the tune of several millions of dollars!!!).
2.     Also, when the Inbound Deliveries were created with incorrect quantity MRP went berserk (e.g., when the IB delivery has the wrong quantity that shows up in MD04 and the planners are left scratching their heads wondering why the supplier is shipping so much or so little).
I wonu2019t get into the details of how the Inbound Deliveries were being created but suffice to say they were manually entered by the supplier without the benefit of an EDI transaction- it was more of a manual entry- hence the data accuracy problem.
The point of this post is to gain feedback from other customers who have implemented an inbound freight payables solution with success & understand what processes were used to make your project successful.
For example, if I had a u201Cwish listu201D Iu2019d request the following:
1.     The IB delivery document type Iu2019d like to use should be non-MRP relevant. This will eliminate the confusion that occurred when planners run MD04 and see all of the shipment notifications. Also, if the MIGO_GR transaction is used to receive the POu2019s, they will see the quantities on the PO, not on the IB delivery. This would be good for us from a business continuity stand point. However, if the IB delivery is not MRP relevant, than your GR does not accrue the freight cost defined on the SCD which short circuits the entire point of having these documents.
u2022     Q: Have you had any success implementing an IB freight solution with minimum impact to planning / inventory / operations?
2.     As mentioned above, the data accuracy of the IB delivery was problematic. Because of this issue we have changed our thinking so that we would require a EDI ASN to be sent from our supplier to our SAP system. Using EDI we feel that greater accuracy would be obtained since the quantities defined would map to what is being picked or at least aligned with what we would expect to be invoiced for. The problem is we donu2019t know how EDI capable our suppliers are.
u2022     Q: Has anyone had success implementing this with your suppliers on a large scale?
3.     Are there other inbound freight payment solutions that Iu2019m not thinking about u2013 custom or other that you have implemented & can share some of the specifics about? Iu2019d enjoy hearing about them. Since we are re-thinking what we implemented Iu2019m open to any suggestions.
Thanks so much for your time!
Rich Wortmann

Chandra,
Thank you for your reply. I'm aware of the freight condition approach you suggest & the ability to define the carrier in the freight condition.
We explored this functionality in the past. The problem/limitations we've experienced were as follows:
1. Essentially you have to know your freight cost & the carrier by PO line item at the time the PO is created. Both of these variables we typically cannot predict in our environment.
2. We have a lot of situations where the PO is considered a u201Cblanketu201D where it will remain open for a month up to a year. Knowing the entire freight cost for these PO's once they are created is impossible to predict so to support the freight conditions we would have to change our business process which would be a big effort for our organization.
3. Our suppliers ship product based on multiple PO's / PO lines, again it is impossible to predict what the per unit freight cost would be at the time a PO is generated.
These factors are what led us to the IB delivery solution which handles each one of these scenarios quite well provided you have good data when the IB delivery is created.
Regarding your second post: Thanks! This information is helpful.
Sincerely,
Rich Wortmann

Freight Costing - Problem of G/L account with Cost Center

Dear Gurus,
In VI02, I have the following u201CAccount Assignmentu201D message of error:
u201CG/L account 60900000 cannot be used (please correct)u201D
u201CComparison of the field selection strings from the G/L account 60900000 and the account assignment category K reveals that there is an incompatible combination of field selections for the field selection group 'Earmarked Funds'.u201D
Questions:
Bearing in mind that I am in the Shipment Cost cockpit, I need to mention that the system directly allocated me the following Account Assignment Category: u201CKu201D for u201CCost Centeru201D.
1- I could there either way create another Account Assignment Category for Shipping instead of Cost Center
2- The system tells me about an incompatible combination of field selection, how can I change that field selection to make it compatible? There are so many possibilities that I get bogged down in choosing the right combination.
I have been to OME9 and OB14 to try to maintain fields, however those fields have different values or names.
My aim here is to coordinate a G/L account group with a Cost Center for Freight Costing
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Chris

Dear Zafar,
If you desire you maintain two different cost centers for the two company and you need to have both of them posted on the same G/L account and Cost element, I would advice you to:
- create a Z table where by controlling area you define where the specific cost center need to get posted
- include this validation check in the exit for validation for controlling
- include this validation check in the exit for validation for finance
- include this validation check also in the sales order user exit
Standard SAP seems do not have direct link between cost centers & cost elements. For this reason ideal solution is to generate a table where you may define you needed structure.
E.g.: some ideas on the table you may create
Controlling area
Cost element from
Cost element to
Cost center from
Cost center to
I hope this suggestion may answer to your need.

MOV 68A and 68E (intra company) duplicate freight cost

Hello,
We are currently in version 702 with EP5.0. We activate BF LOG_MM_SIT and we are using scenario N6 for intra company process and N3 for inter.
Process: We add a freight cost in the Intra PO header to be charged to a third party (intra company process). When we process the GI for VL02N the system post the movement type 68A. In this moment the system considers already the freight costs (incorrectly).
Then when I perform VLPOD without any difference, the system post the movement 68E and again consider the freight cost. So we have twice the additional price condition.
Do you have any idea on how we can solve this issue?
Didn't find any OSS Note.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

Hi Atif,
as of SAP TM 9.0 there is a means to enter the inbound freight costs from TM into ERP material valuation via the agency billing document.
The process is documented here:

How to define routes for freight cost calculation

Hi,
in our company we plan to use LE-TRA Transport with Freight costs calculation. To use Transport it is a must to maintain routes in all sales orders/deliveries. Currently we do not use it and now we have the challenge to define routes and later due to freight costs calculation Stages. There are different solutions for routes. In some other companys we have only routes dependent on the Transit duration, but that's all. They don't use stages and they don't use freight cost calculation in SAP.
As I know routes should describe geographical locations (The way location A till location B). Based on the route we have a defined stage with a distance, shipping type.... That would mean for a company: They need to analyse all delivery channels with different forwarding agents and so on. Is that possible when the forwarding agent is responsible for scheduling? That means for a company with customer around the world thousands of routes?
Alternatively it is possible to create stages in the transport documents. Is that more recommendable? It would be nice, when someone could post his experience with that topic.
Thank you,
Raphael

Hi Luis,
thank you for the response. My problem is not the technical view. I know how to create the routes and what kind of information I need. The problem is to unterstand how this concept can operate in practise in a company with many different customer.
The following site describes the concept of routes in SAP:
http://blog.tkreddy.com/2010/09/17/understanding-the-concept-of-routes-le-shp-in-sap-ecc-6-0/
A company with many delivery plants and customer around the world needs to forward all delivery channels they have to us, A route describes an area and includes stages with location A and B. The stages are assigned to a forwarding agend. Based on that information I can start a freigt cost calculation. The structure of stages and routes also depends on the situation how many different forwarding agents are involved in a delivery process.
In my opinion it is really a big effort to find a reliable solution for the amount of routes and stages. I am thinking about to use the solution to create the stage manually in the transport document and to use the routes to describe the transit time.

Freight Cost Per Kilometer

Dear All,
Plz give me some idea about how to calculate and determine freight cost per kilometer in shipping cost document.
Thanks & Regards,
PM

You should be able to achieve this by making use of the route determination functionlity in LE (logistics execution).
When you define a route and its different stages (if applicable) you can assign a predetermined distance that is measure in KM.
In pricing determination you then use a condition type for freight that is distance dependant or simply with calculation type = quantity . You may create an access sequence that reads the distance from the route in the document to derive the rate per km for that route which you would have maintained in the condition records.

Freight Costs via INVOIC01 / E1EDP05 or E1EDK05

Hi,
I've a problem to understand how E1EDP05 have to be used to post freight costs.
1) Planed freight costs
I have a purchase order with planed fright cost on the position (splitted on two diffrent condition types).
Which fields of E1EDP05 have to me maintained that the invoice can be posted? At the moment the freight values is ignored complety and the Idoc fails with balance not zero (differece = freight amount).
In FORM mrm_e1edp05_process (LMRMHF13) only CURTP, WAERS and AMOUNT of E1EDP05 are used and append to t_cr.
I've maintained all these fields
t_cr-curtp = 00 (= Document currency)
t_cr-waers = EUR (= PO currency)
t_cr-dmbtr = freigt costs (without tax)
At the call of MRM_INVOICE_CREATE the fields CURTP / WAERS / DMBTR of T_FRSEG-CR contain the information.
What have I missed? Is there any customizing that have to be done?
2) Unplaned freight costs
What about unplaned freight costs? These can't be mapped to a position. Do I have to use E1EDK05? How does that work?
Best regards
Katja

Hi,
I was curious to know if this issue was resolved?
I am faced with a similar issue while posting an inter-company invoice via EDI, where SALDO_PRUEFEN check produces a non-zero difference, hence an out of balance error. In this scenario, group valuation active, and I see this error when the inbound EDI has a transfer pricing condition KW00 with currency type 31 in the IDOC segment E1EDP05. Also in this scenario, the freight charges directly posts to a GL account and the non-zero difference from SALDO_PRUEFEN is the same as the freight change.
Thanks,

How to do freight costing

Hi,
Can you please clarify, freight costing is about determining the Freight condition type KF00 in the sales order and in the billing?
Regards
SR

Dear SR,
Maintain freight condition type KF00 in your pricing procedure.
Maintain proper condition record to get values automatically in the sales order
or
You can enter manually at sales order level if you maintain manual settings for freight condition type.
Do the G/L account assignment for the freight related account key in VKOA transaction.
If you enter the freight value in the sales order same will get copied to the invoice.
I hope this will help you,

WHERE TO FIND Freight cost

Hi Gurus,
I am working on a report .
i need the information of freight cost. from where we can get the exact freight cost for item wise.
Becoz my client is very particular about the freight cost for each item in PO LEVEL and DELIVERY LEVEL and INVOICE LEVEL.
points will be awarded for sure.
REGARDS,
DULI.

Hi Friend,
Freight cost against condition type is store in KONP table, link is condition record no.
So, if it is purchase and frieght cost is maintained at item level, then you will get condition record number in EKPO table against each line item.
For same as delivery it will be in LIPS table.
Link these condtion record number and condition type with KONP table, you will get exact freight value.
Hope it will solve your problem.
Regards
Krishnendu

Free goods but want to freight cost updation upon GR

Hi,
Scenario:
I have a PO with 20 line items and header freight cost.
There are few more items in PO which are ticked as free goods.
There is a stock of those materials with certain MAP.
Freight condition has been configured as vendor GR so that it gets loaded on materials upon GR.
Requirement is that
Upon GR of this PO,MAPshould get updated with the freight cost for those materials also which have been marked as free goods.
How this can be achieved ?
Regards,
manOO

Hi Rang,
Thanks for the feedback.However service PO is out of scope as client do not want to go for servicees.
I could not understand your suggestion
<u>you give PO to frieght vendor for freight value & in remarks you mention reciving as FREE GOODS from vendor xxxxx & do GR load cost to material & pay to freight vendor. (this is not advisible, but one solution for your problem).</u>
I have to receive one material via purchase order as a free item but I need to pay vendor for the freight charges that will be incurred to ship this item along with all the other items in the same PO.
Can you please explain me further as what you mean to say in your post.
I should be able to load these freight cost on all the materials in PO including the material with 'free' indiactor.
In short upon GR MAP should affect with freight cost as there will not be value addition of the material since received as free.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
manOO
