Forwarding agent payment settlement

Hi Experts,
Scenario: A delivery to a sales order is shipped through a forwarding agent(vendor).
Example
A = Company
B= Forwarding agent(Transporters)
C= Customer
Customer places the order with the company for 1 ton bags of cement. For shipping the cement Company takes the service of Forwarding agent(Transporters) to ship the bags to the customer .
Company invoice the customer and pays the freight to transporters.
As there is no shipment activated in the scenario
What I have done
1) I have created a partner function as Forwarding Agent in the customer master
2) And the sales cycle is running fine (Sales order-Delivery-Billing) partner function as Forwarding Agent flowing correctly
My question is how I will settle the forwarding agents payment of freight? (Which transaction codes involved)
Is it possible to settle the forwarding agent without activating the shipment and Transportation??
Need your help in this scenario
Regards,
Munirathnam Reddy

Hi,
As understand from your question, you donesnt want to add the freight value in net value in billing but at the same is required to post accounts also. In those cases create the freight conditon type as accrual condition type, at the time of billing this value not add in the net value but this value will post to the accounts. This value creates provisional liability in the books and based on this value company pay the amoount to vendor.
Rewareds if it helps

Hi,
Ideally speaking you have to enable shipment cost in order to settle the cost to the transporter.
However if you decide not to enable this, you have to do this by means of MM process.
The forwarding agent should be created as a vendor in MM.
Once in a month, you have to calculate the total freight to be paid to him by finding out the summation of the freight condition type in the sales invoices.
Now create a PO and mention a service (use a material number to represent the service). For this PO, you can trigger automatic GR/Confirmation of Service and creation of logistics invoice with the value of the freight charges.
Towards this LInvoice, you can settle the amount to the forwarding agent.
The second way can be by means of credit memos in SD
Create a Credit Memo request using forwarding agent as the payer (in this case you have to create the forwarding agent as a customer account group)
The CMR should have the value of the condition type as the frieght value of the invoice in which the frieght is charged to the customer
Based on this CMR, create the Credit memo and pay the money to the forwarding agent. So the cycle will look like this.
SO Creation by Customer (Freight charge will be included in SO pricing)
Delivery to customer
Invoice sent to customer (with freight value charged to the customer)
Payment received from customer
Raise a Credit Memo request using the forwarding agent as the payer
Include the freight valueof the invoice in teh credit memo
Create the Credit Memo with reference to the CMR
Now do the payment to the forwarding agent.

Custom clearing agent payment issue

Dear experts
Purchase order was created and the material was received on port (imports).
custom clearing agent has cleared the goods.
now custom clearing agent needs his charges.
the inv from vendor with reference to PO is not received.
any solution to settle the custom clearing agent payments.
till the inv. from vendor not received custom agent payment is is pending.
what should be done to resolve this issue.

Hi,
Copy one of your freight condition types and create a new condition type as custom clearing charges, please ensure that condition category is Delivery charges (B). In calculation schema enter this condition type at the appropriate position. Now when creating the PO, enter this condition type put the value, then select this condition type and go to details, here you will have a field to enter the vendor code, there key in the vendor code of custom clearing agent.
Now in MIRO enter PO no. and choose layout for Planned delivery cost, you can now enter the value for your agent and pay him.
Note: Please use this to pay only for service charge for the agent, for payment of custom duty you should use the condition type for custom duty and key in the vendor code for the customs clearing office there so that its easy to differentiate between custom duty and the service charges charged by clearing agent.

Shipment forward agent incorect in MIRO invoice

Hello,
       I met an issue. Because user input wrong forward agent A in shipment, so we cancel the shipment cost and deleted.
Then we updated the forward agent B in shipment, and created a new shipment cost, then transferred, But when we
used MIRO to do the invoice, the vendor still is pervious one A, and I test it in Q system, I got 2 vendors for selection,
why was the pervious one still there?
      P.S. In Trasaction MIRO we used delivery note to input shipment number. Thanks.
     I checked the pervious Entry Sheet, it has a deletion indicator, but When I used MIRO, system still will get information
from that Entry Sheet.
Best regards
Sophie

HI,
Create the MIRO document with reference to service entry sheet.
Example: Shipment document created using forwarding agent A, instead of B. In this case follow the below steps.
Step 1: Cancel the MIRO document using MR8M.
Step 2: Mark the Cancellation in VI02. Double click the line item go to settlement tab as shown below.
Step 3: Delete the shipment cost document using VI02
Step 4: Delete the shipment document using VT02N.
Step 5: Create the new shipment document using Forwarding Agent.
Kindly follow the same & update the status.
Thanks & Regards

Adding Forwarding Agent to Partner details in a Sales Order.

Hi Experts,
Below is the detailed scenario :
We have inbound orders been created by Idocs Orders04 using the Idoc_Input_orders function module.
the requirement is that if the partner forwarding agent is not been populated in Idoc then we need to add the same in the SO Partner details from Z table based on the sold to party in the idoc.
Can anyone please help how I can proceed with the requirement. I have created a Z table and maintain the entries. I am not understanding where i should be doing the Coding for the same.
Thanks and Regards,
Nimisha.

Hello,
inside the VA01-transaction there are the userexits EXIT_SAPLV09A_001 to EXIT_SAPLV09A_004 influencing the partner determination. Think most probably you could use the EXIT_SAPLV09A_004
(Enhancement is V09A0004).
You could switch on that one and look, which partners are in the order at that point of time.

Wolfgang

Automatic payment settlement - F110

Hi,
While making payment settlement for a particular document in F110 transaction it prompts to select partner type during reallocation, where as it never picks the partner type which was set during document posting. Pls help me out from this so that whenever i go for payment settlement it should pick the partner type from the posting document.
Regards
Karan

If you really want to get stuck into it, have a good read of the following:
<a href="http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/FIBP/FI-AP-AP-PT.pdf">http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/FIBP/FI-AP-AP-PT.pdf</a>
It's from 4.6c, but it covers most stuff to do with payment runs.

F110: Why Payment Proposal List is different from Payment Settlement List?

After running payment run for a European country, the process has been completed successfully.
But checking the Payment settlement list, there are vendors that are not included here, but included in the Payment Proposal list. At first, I thought of the exception list, but its not.
What may be the possible reasons on this difference?

Hi ,
May i know what exception fields you given in free selection tab.
Did you select that Exclude values check box in free selection tab.
As per my knowledge these option for exception for payments
For exception of the payment we can block for payment through edit proposal
May be this information is useful to you
If you have anydoubt feel free to ask

Down Payment Settlement

Dear All,
I am facing some issue with Down payemnt settlement. My scenario is as follows:
Sale order Net value : 9,704.00 (inclusive tax)
I have created down payment request for Rs 3000 and a/c entry generated for noted item with spl g/l
and Now I posted payment through F-29 for Rs 3000 against sale order.
A/c Entry Bank Dr - Rs 3000
Customer Cr          - Rs 3000 (spl g/l )
Now I have created final invoice (F2) but in VF01 for downpayment settlement line item it is taking only Rs 2999.91 and after saving the invoice a/c entry is generating as follows.
Customer Dr                    - Rs 9704.00
Sales Cr                          - Rs. 8550.00
Customer Noted item Dr - Rs. 2999.91
Customer                    Cr - Rs. 2999.91

Down Payment settlement Line is not appearing in the final Billing

Hello All,
Activated the Milestone billing plan. Created a Sales order > Down payment Billing document > and cleared the Down payment billing document.
While trying to bill the final invoice the down payment settlement line is not appearing.
Please suggest us what would be the probable reason for this to resolve the issue.
Checked in detail and found in the table BSID the field sales document ( VBEL2) is populated with blank and not with the sales order number.
Thanks & Regards,
Madhan.

Hi
When you create a final invoice the downpayment clearing line is retrieved using function
module SD_DOWNPAYMENT_READ. The function module will not be able to find the
downpayment if the VBEL2 and POSN2 fields are not filled.
If the downpayment is posted and cleared correctly in F-29 (this is the only way) these
fields will be filled and the document should be retrieved and the value transferred to the
AZWR condition.
Run VF01 with a breakpoint in SD_DOWNPAYMENT_READ
go to the end of the function module you will see the structure t_sdaccdpc
This is filled with all valid entries for clearing. I suspect in your case it is missing.
Try posting a new example in using F-29 make sure it shows cleared in the
document flow then check at this point above in the final invoice
Hope this helps you further
Kind regards
Brian

Bill of Lading : Forwarding Agent/Carrier data

Hello,
On Bill of Lading report no data are displayed in 'Forwarding Agent/Carrier' section.
Which kind of data do I have to setup to displayed data in this section ?

This might helps
You can create a Bill of Lading category for each delivery leg's Ship
Method/Carrier you use or define one Bill of Lading category for all Ship
Methods/Carriers. The advantage to having a different Bill of Lading
sequence for each carrier is that you could easily identify the carrier
by looking at the Bill of Lading number.
In addition to creating document categories by Ship Method/Carrier, you
can tie a category to a specific delivery's pick-up location. This
provides the opportunity to have a different BOL sequence for the same
carrier departing from a different location. An example of this would be:
For a Viking Freight shipment departing from warehouse 1 the Bill of
Lading number could look like this: WH1-Viking-12345
For a Viking Freight shipment departing from warehouse 2 the Bill of
Lading number could look like this: WH2-Viking-54321

Freight charges based on rates per forwarding agents

Dear all,
i want to calculate freight chares based on fields plant and forwarding agent rates per EA.
I have a partner function CR in customer master. In procing table field SPDNR for forwarding agent is not allowed.
I tried to put LIFNR field but still not working... Kindly suggest me solution asap.
Regards,
Sandip

I think you can either add new fields to KOMP or KOMK (item or header) and populate these fields in userexit_pricing_prepare_tkomp or userexit_pricing_prepare_tkomk
in both order & invoice programs and then use these fields in condition tables.
OR you can determine your conditions based on plant and define calculation routine to calculate condiiton value based on forwarding agent

Payment settle

I've settled a vendor payment. However, due to mistake, I reversed these entry by t-code FB08. then I use FBR2 to reversed the reversed document. Then the vendor payment should be settled. but the payment still to be outstanding. What should I do. thanks!

Hi There,
Please see the flow of what has happened:-
On Vendor Payment Settlement = Payment Document Got Created and It Cleared the Invoice Document.
On FB08 = The Payment Document has got Reveresed and Invoice is open again.
On FBR2 = The Reversal Document got Reversed, resulting in a payment document but it does not clear the invoice automatically as link is broken.
Now you need to do the below:-
By F-44 = Clear the document created in FBR2 with the original invoice document.
Please let me know in case you have any more confusion/ query.

Gaurav
