Hi,
Check this userexit in partner determination,you can write your required logic in this exit.
EXIT_SAPLV09A_004
Use this user exit to integrate your own check in a program, that runs before the partner is saved in the document.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Reg,
Antaa21

Hello,
Is Forwarding Agent created as Vendor in your system? If yes then field LIFNR - Vendor is available in SAP Standard Field Catalogue for Pricing.
You need to use this field (LIFNR)in your Condition Table.
Hope this helps,

Commission to the Forwarding agent

Hello All,
I have a client requirment that they have 28 forwarding agents across the country which they treat as storage loction for storing the product only and they book the sales order on behalf of the stockists to the client directly, the ownership of stock will be with client untill it reaches to stockiest.
Client has to give them a commission on the basis of what number of sales have been done from this storage location.
Please suggest If I map this forwarding agents as storage locations in sap. then how will I provide commision to the storage locations.
Regards
Venkat

Hi,
Further to the question you asked on the design for the process, you could include a different pricing procedure for Consignment and include a condition type for (i.e. ZCOM) for commission and maintain the relevant condition records as necessary. Scales etc could also be used to further meet calculation of commission based on volume etc.
That should easily solve your problem.
Hope the above helps.
Thanks.

How to create Forwarding Agent?

Hi Gurus,
Can anybody throw some light regarding Forwarding Agent,Personnel and contact persons.....
1.How to create them(In detail)?
2.How to mention them in CMR of sold to party?
3.Who are they?
Thanks in advance.
Points will be awarded for sure.
Venkat

Contact persons are natural persons whom you must contact at the customers for business processing (for example, purchasers) It is not necessary for you to be a customer employee, you could, for example, be an independent advisor.
You can create contact persons directly in the customer master record. You are then assigned to this customer. The contact persons can however be assigned to other customers.
Forwarding agent
A forwarding agent is an example of a business partner on the credit side, who is included in a sales process. If you commission a particular forwarding agent for deliveries to a specific customer, you can define the forwarding agent in the customer master record as the partner.
Possible partner functions on the credit side in the sales process are for example,interpreters, auditors.
Personnel
Employee responsible
Sales personnel
You can enter an employee from your firm as the person responsible:
In the customer master: if the employee is normally responsible for processing transactions with this customer
In the sales document: if the employee is responsible for processing the business transaction.

Shipment - Shipping type & Forwarding agent

Dear All,
Is it possible to develop the relation ship between forwarding agent and shipping type?
It means when user select forwarding agent code shipping type should get change in the shipment document or delivery document.
Regards,
SmartSD

Try and use tcode OVTVT_CA - Configuration of Transportation Processing for Forwarding Agent
Where, you can define the basic settings that are required for transportation planning, and for status and event verification through the forwarding agents. The forwarding agents work with the sender's.
The following basic settings are possible:
-Forwarding Agent User Assignment
-Master Data of Shipment
-Selection Variants of the Shipment
-Selection Variants for Delivery
-Limitation of Available Delivery Selection
Thanks & Regards

Change of forwarding agent in shipment

There is a shipment which has status as 5 - shipment completion. we have created shipment documents and deleted but system set shipment cost status as C - completely process
Goods issue happened for delivery attached with shipment.we wants to change forwarding agent in shipment but when we are going to change mode of shipment Planning Tab coming as gradeout (not active)
Regards

Dear Murali,
I appreciate your reply in this regard. Shipment costs are deleted from transaction VT11. Now I've few concerns:
1. Whether or not VT11 deletes/reverses the process like cancellation, account assignment deletion etc. and resets the status in Shipment Document in Shipment costs calculation tab as 'A'.
2. GI reversal is mandatory?
3. If point 1 is correct, then in Shipment documents, the status is still shown as C in all fields related to Shipment Cost Statuses.
OR you mean to say that we need not uncheck the Planning, Shipmet Start, Shipment end etc. button before chnaging the Fwding agent?
Where I'm getting stuck is that "Planning" button in "Further dates" tab in greyed out and we are not able to reset it.
What I'm doubting is that since the Shipment Costs statuses in Shipment Document is C even of Shipment cost is deleted which is preventing "Planning" button to be functional.
Awaiting your valuable inputs.
Regards
