Freight Cost transfferred to COPA

Guys,
Need a quick help with this. I have got a full blown Transport management system being implemented at my client site in ECC6.0. I need to know if anybody has worked on a variable costing report whereby I can pull the freight cost value into COPA.

Hi ajay,
Thanks for your pmompt reply
i will maintain 12 cost element categary but in copa it will show frieght seperate and revenue seperate.
ie - revenue 10 rs
frieght -2 rs
system will not show revenue 8rs deducted frieght from there.

While posting a credit memo system post to fright cost value field with a negative amount.
The user is asking since no material movement associated in this scenario why its post to the freight cost value field.

Hi Guys,
Any clue.
Does in credit memo system pick the copa value field?
In our case in credit memo billing document system do posts to freight account.
Is it correct?

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

Purchase Order's Freight cost

Dear All,
I'm using SAP B1 2007B SL 0 PL 15. I have problems with the Freight cost on the distribution rule. It will not store the store or update the distribution rule code in PO, GR & Invoice. I have to manually tag the distribution rule code in the journal entry after the Invoices are posted. Does anyone face this problem or know how to solve this?

Freight Cost while Goods Receipt in STO

Dear Experts,
In SAP standard STO process, freight cost calculated while Material issued against STO ( 351/641 movement).
Is there any way possible to calculate the freight at the time of goods receipt instead of at the time of Goods Issue..
Thanks in Advance.

Why do you want it at the time of GR?
Anyways, you can not see or change the freight amount in MIGO. And I don't think there is any other way to post the freight amount other than 351/641 goods issue.

Reducing the Freight cost on material value for undelivered material

Hi Experts,
Summary : The material supplier vendor needs to be paid for full quantity of material. The freight transport is allowed an under tolearance of 0.5% on the material to be supplied. If the delivered material quantity breaches the 0.5% under tolerance then amount at 1.5 times the cost of material for the shortage is to be deducted from the transporter. A dummy GR will have to be prepared for the undelivered quantity for which we do not want the freight cost to be loaded. The details scenario is mentioned below :-
We have to make a Purchase Order with material code say ABC for procured of some material. Suppose we make a Purchase Order for 100 nos. at a Unit Price of Say Rs. 10/- for Material Code ABC on say Vendor M/s XYZ. A freight condition is maintained in the Conditions Tab and suppose the Freight is Rs. 10 per unit of the material.
While preparing the Goods Receipt through MIGO, in the Freight Tab we select say freight vendor say M/s PQR against the freight condition and post the goods receipt.
While doing Invoice Processing in MIRO, when we enter the combination of Purchase Order and Planned Delivery Cost the system will populate the vendor codes of both the supplier of material and the transporter. On selecting the transporter the freight amount will populate against which the invoice of the tranporter can be processed.
In the Vendor Master of M/s XYZ GR-Based Invoice Verification is activated.
The vendor is allowed an under tolerance of 0.5% (i.e. the vendor should deliver at least 99.50 nos. of the Purchase Order). If the vendor delivers 99.50 or more then there will be no deduction in the freight charges.
But suppose the vendor delivers only 99.4 nos. of the quantity. Then we will prepare the GRIR for 99.4 nos.only. But while processing the MIRO we need to deduct 1.5 times the value of the material from the freight amount for the shortshipped quantity, i.e.
0.1 no (99.5 u2013 99.4) X Rs. 10/- * 1.5 = Rs. 1.5 are to be deducted from the final payment from the freight amount of the transporter.
The material supplier will have to be paid in full 100 nos. of quantity and will raise an invoice for 100 nos. A dummy GRIR for the 0.6 nos. of undelivered material will have to be prepared for processing the invoice for the 100 nos. of the material supplier and a dummy issue for 0.6 nos. of undelivered material will be prepared to remove them from the system.
Hence the freight cost for this 0.6 nos. of undelivered material will also go into the cost of the material and increase the MAP by that amount. Also the goods issue Cost will also have the effect of the freight cost.
We do not want to load the freight cost for the undelivered material in the value of the material.
Can any one please suggest a solution for the same.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
A PO Will be raised for full quantity of material say 100 nos.
The material supplier vendor needs to be paid for full quantity of material.
A freight vendor is maintained at the time of GR for material against the freight condition maintained in the Po.
The freight vendor facilitates the delivery of the material from the vendor to the purchaser for which he is given an under tolerance limit of 0.5%. Any delivery below this tolerance limit, freight amount to the effect of 1.5 times the per unit rate of material x short fall below 0.5% tolerance will be deducted from the freight amount.
A dummy grir will have to be prepared for the short delivered quantity for processing the invoice for the full quantity of the purchase order, as the vendor is going to raise the invoice for full purchase order quantity. The client does not want to load the freight cost of the undelivered quantity on the material value as it will wrongly show the MAP of the material. This shortshipped material will be issued to remove it from the system and the stock will remain for the delivered quantity only. The vendor is subject to gr based invoice verification.
Please suggest a solution.
Thanks in advance.

PO-Freight cost (header, diff currency with items) not distributed when GR

Dear Gurus,
I've one PO with freight cost at header level (1000 VND). In the PO, this freight amount shown to be distributed successfully to line item (value base, line item 1 is 300 VND, line item 2 is 700 VND). But when doing GR, the freight cost of each line item is NOT distributed but equals the total freight amount (line item 1 is 1000 VND, line item 2 is 1000 VND).
In this PO, vendor is international vendor, goods in USD. Freight cost is in local currency (VND)
The configuration for this freight cost condition is at Header level, Group Condition ticked; Calculation type: Fixed Amount; Scale Basis: Value. When the currency of freight cost and goods are the same (all in USD), I have no error as above.
Please help to solve this issue.
Thanks.

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.

MIRO - Credit memo considering freight costs

Dear friends ,
We need to process a Goods Return to the vendor, but the goods has additional costs like Freight.
So we are doing the reversal process as follow:
MIRO - Credit memo
=> but when we process the credit memo the System brought together the freight costs.
we need to return but not remove the freight costs from the material cost.
MIGO movement 122.
=> here everything is ok.
Question:
How treat that situation where we need to keep the freight costs in the material account ?
Best regards,
Alessandro

hi
in that case, in miro header, there is a tab "details" here u have a option to enter unplanned dlvy cost.. u can enter ur unplanned dkvy cost.

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.

Freight Cost based on postal code from alternative partner (occasional)

Hi SAP experts!
In standard SAP, the freight cost is calculated based on the postal code from WE partner (goods receiver).
But my client have a situation where he uses an one-time customer as a goods receiver. In this cases the freight cost is being calculated wrong, because the SAP uses the tariff zone from goods receiver (WE partner).
Does anybody know if there is a standard partner function to be used in order to consider the zipcode from the one-time customer instead ?
Does anybody knows if there is a standard solution for this issue in SAP?
Exemple:
sold to party - client X - postal code NNN
ship to party - client X - postal code NNN
goods receiver - client Y - postal code AAA
Then the freight must be calculated based on the postal code AAA.
Thanks!

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.

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.

Viviana A.
