Freight cost estimate - Shipment

Hi I m new in shipment, please help me.
When I make the simulation (Freight cost estimate) in transaction VT02N the Net Value that shows is different to the real net value when the shipment is ended.
This happen because in the u201CItem conditionsu201D of the Conditions for shipment Costs Items, the Condition Base Value is 0. Where can I change this value so every simulation consider it?
Thanks!!

hey ,
i cant post my e-mail here but you can cut & paste in this page ( or link to FTP ) .
any how ,
if you want to change the value of the scale you can do it in tk12 and from there go to the scale that
you define in VS02 .
look in sap help ( or google ) for the file SDBFPR.pdf ( condition types )

How the freight cost are transferred from condition type of shipment cost document to service entry sheet and collected in service PO item

Dear Experts:
could you please share with me the knowledge for below topic:
How the freight cost are transferred from condition type of shipment cost document to service entry sheet and collected in service PO item, because these three objects use three different pricing procedures, and different condition type.
how did the condition type of service entry sheet know to copy the value of whcih condition type in the pricing procedure of shipment cost document?
Is this SAP standard function OR there need an enhancement to do that?
I didn’t find related condition value copy setting in background, could you please share related setting with me? Thank you very much for your kind help!
Best regards,
Andy

Hi, Gopi,
Glad to see your feedback, but i still have question on your feedback:
which condition type in the pricing procedure of service entry sheet should know to capture the net value of shipment cost doc? becasue there are so many condition types,
And i have checked the corresponding condition type (PRSX) of service entry sheet pricing procedure in my SAP system, this is a self-defined condition type, but NO any calculation routine maintained for the condition type (PRSX), how did the condition type (PRSX) know to copy the total cost of shipment cost document?
Below is the example and another question:
what the relationship between the pricing procedures at service PO item level and service line item level?
1. The freight cost in shipment cost document—including used condition type and pricing procedure
The pricing procedure of shipment cost document
2. The freight cost in service entry sheet—including used condition type and pricing procedure
The pricing procedure of service entry sheet--the pricing procedure at service line item level
3. The freight cost in service PO item—including used condition type and pricing procedure:

Shipment Cost Estimate

A Forwarding Agent is used for logistics of materials from point A to B. He is responsible for loading, conveyance and unloading.
There is a price for the tendered shipment which should not be exceeded by the shipper. The price is fixed by SHIPPER before tendering.
How do you make configuration for Shipment Cost Estimate calculation ? Please let me know..Its urgent.
Thanks

Hi Siddharth,
Shipment cost in shipping contains create the shipment cost doc., process the shipment, monitor the shipment, calculate the shipment and settle the shipment.
Shipment cost doc. contains calculate the shipment, assign to accounting, transfer to FI and settle the shipment cost.
Shipment cost doc. divided into header, item and sub item data.
We need to assign transportation planning point to com. code to calculate and settle the shipment cost.
1. Define date rules:- In this IMG activity you define the date rules that determine which dates are chosen for determining the pricing date and the settlement date and the sequence in which they are accessed. The dates can be, for example, the end of transportation planning or the start of lading.
2. Define and assign tariff zones:-In this IMG activity, you define the tariff zones and assign postal code areas to the tariff zones for each organizational key. The tariff zones are represent geographical influencing factors during the calculation of shipment costs.
3. Define no. ranges for shipment cost:-In this IMG activity you define the number interval for the shipment cost documents. When creating a shipment cost document, a unique number is generated. The number comes from the number range that you create in this menu point as the internal number range.
You can also create an external number range. The option to specify a number from the external number range when creating the shipment cost document is, however, not currently supported.
4. Shipcost types and item cat.:-In this IMG activity, you define the shipment cost types and item categories that contain all important control features for the shipment cost document, such as:
Number range
Status requirements for the shipment documents
Parameters for shipment costing
Parameters for shipment settlement
5.shipcost relevance and default for shipcost types:-In this IMG activity you assign the shipment cost types to the shipment types and set an indicator to show whether the cost type is relevant to shipment costing. You do this for every cost type in every shipment type. .
Example
For the 'individual shipment' shipment type, you set the indicator for the cost types shipment header and leg, but not for the cost types border crossing or load transfer point. You also assign a shipment cost type to the shipment type. When you create a shipment cost document, this shipment cost type is determined automatically.
6. Settlement:-
Certain control elements must be maintained for calculating shipment costs with the transportation service agent and for forwarding of shipment costs to FI and CO.
you can maintain these control elements and carry out the corresponding assignments.
-- Assign purchasing data
--maintain acc. assignment cat.
--automatic G/L acc. determination
--automatic determination of CO assignments
--invoices and credit memos
A2. Shipment cost:
The process of calculating the shipment costs for a shipment.
Shipment costs:
The total costs involved in the shipment of a product. Not just pure freight costs, but also cleaning costs, insurance, and other costs as well

Freight to get from Info record in Standard Cost Estimate

Hello
I want the cost estimate to pick up the freight value/% from the condition type from the purchase info record. Iu2019ve created a costing variant which has the valuation variant set to u201CPrice from purchasing info recordu201D and the strategy sequence as u201Cnet quotation priceu201D. Also I have specified a condition type for delivery in delivery costs in the valuation variant however when I create the cost estimate the price from the purchase info record is picked up but not the delivery cost from the condition type of the info record. Is there something in configuration that needs to be set for this? Any Ideas?
Cheers
J

Hi Rajesh
The costing sheet will allow me to specify a fixed % for freight however i want to specify a different rate based on the vendor. Is there no way of picking the details from a info record or a contract?
Thanks

Report on Shipment/Freight Costs

Dear Forum,
We are following the process whereby the Shipment/Freight costs are included in the POs as conditions. At the time of Goods Receipt, as per the standard procedure, the Shipment/Freight Costs are loaded on to the materal costs of the Inventories received. Now there is a requirement to monitor the Shipment/Freight Costs and a report is required to be generated which would give the material costs as well as the Shipment/Freight costs. How can we generate the same?
Your help would be highly appreciated.
Regards

Freight costs in Pricing procedure and Shipment costs

What is the difference between freight costs in pricing procedure for a sales document and shipment costs in shipment documents. Arent they meant for the same thing. Why do we have to create them separately.

hello, friend.
freight charges in the sales pricing procedure may be represented by condition type KF00 (standard). this condition type is a surcharge to your customer, meaning there is an inflow into your company. this surcharge may be manually entered (if configuration allows this) in the condition tabs of your sales order or this could automatically be entered if the appropriate condition records (via VK11 or VK31) have been created.
the shipment costs in shipment documents is what your company is billed or quoted by your forwarder, shipper or other transport related agent. the shipment cost data will be used by the system to calculate and settle shipment costs. when you have freight condition records (via TK11), purchase-vendor records and if all route/connection point/etc. settings correct, all shipment cost data will be determined when you do shipment cost document creation. you may also manually enter cost items, depending on the configuration.
hope this helped. is so, will appreciate reward.
regards.

Freight cost in a purchase order when generating automatic freight cost

Hi Experts,
when i generate automaticly a Purchase Order whith a freight cost, in the PO it keeps the first freight in the Item Overview.
When it generate more freight cost in the same PO, the first Freight Cost stay in the Item Overview, and the freight cost is increasing in the Item : PO History. right.
Is it possible to remove the first entry from the Item Overview or put the total of the freight cost who are incresing in the PO??
Thanks in advance.
Dom.

Hi dev,
We did something similar last week. To charge the freight cost to the receiving party we did a manual service entry sheet for that.
We created a separate Po with Transport vendor and the receiving plant and account type is Z shipment costing and service item description as intercompany freight.
You will specify the limit of the amount here, and specify the G/L account here. Now create the service entry sheet withthe freight amount and settle.
I think you can follow the similar thing with additional lines for your requirement for other charges.
Since we want let the receiving plant pay the freight we didn't create the shipment cost document of LE-TRA.
Let see if any other suggestions comes.

Delivery costs with shipment costs

Dear Sir,
I want to capture the delivery costs from shipment cost document.
I did all bellow mentioned settings:
For freight cost to be transfered as delivery cost, the Purchase order need to have a freight condition with zero value. Also the freight condition need to have indicator set in config for 'copy shipment cost'. Once this is set up and shipment cost document created, do PGI and it should create a DCGR document in PO History.
Even after all these settings, i tried but no result. It is not creating ths DCGR in PO History.
Can any body tell me this bellow setting: Where is this exactly. I tried no field with the name Relevant for costing
Shipment cost item categories Under the Shipment cost types and item categories activity, set the Relevant for costing field to A = Relevant for calculating delivery costs (Delivery costs). This results in the shipment costs not being transferred directly into accounting. The accounting is done via the purchasing functionality for delivery costs.
Can any body give me the solution?
With regards
Lakshmikanth

Hi
I think that you have had your question answered so if you are happy with this can you please award points if you want to but mainly can you please mark your question as answered so that it is easier to navigate around the open questions in the forum as the number of pages are growing and growing and it takes too long to go through everything especially if a satisfactory answer has already been given and people like me who want to help will give up and so some people may not get any help.
Thanks for 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.

Loading freight cost to inventory at the time of GR

Dear All
When i am not using LE then i do have process where i will be having a condition type of freight at STO type , I shall do delivery(VL10D) against that PO number, PGI and at the time of GR at receiving plant that freight will get uploaded to material which is having price control " V ". Now as I am using LE my freight will be calculated at VI01(freight cost calculation) , there will not be any condition type of freight at PO level . Now I want that(VI01) freight to get uploaded on material .That means some how my VI01 document will be linked to PO and I guess this is possible by doing configuration at " Shipment Cost Item Categories " .Please provide me solution if this can be done or give me any other alternate . I am running late so please do help me.
Best Regards

The issue is resoleved.
We can load freight cost using LE on inventory in inbound shipment as well as in STO.
Config steps are :
1. Settlement rel. = A relevant for settlement (delivery costs) in T_56
2. In pricing schema of PO : condition catagory shud be " delivery relevent "
3. check "accurals" check box and "copy shipment cost" check in condition type .
4. Make condition type manual at PO level .Important to note the value of this condition type at the time of PO creation should be blank.
5. After shipment cost calculation check the shipment status .it shud b " C ".
6. At MIGO check ur accounting doc

Also I want to crate a multi dimensional freight rate condition using Distance, Weight. How can I do this?
I will really appreciate your response or any docs you have on this subject.

Can not assign a g/l account in freight costing VI02 - 4.5B environment

I am trying to assign a g/l account to a my freight cost (VI02) and I am unable to do so. I have tried creating a new g/l account using FS01 and it doesn't show up as an option to choose from. I am sure it takes more than just creating a g/l account to make this happen. Could someone provide the steps needed to set this up?

Go to Logistics Execution > Transportation > Shipment Costs > Shipment Cost Document > Shipment Cost Types and Item Categories.
There select your Shipment Cost Type and double click on Assign shipment cost types and item categories. Check what Valuation Class is maintained.
Now go to OBYC, double click on GBB and check what G/L Account is assigned to that valuation class.
thanks
