Freight issue

Hi ,
We have separate Logistics ( Frieght ) and Material Procurement Teams here in our procurement department.
Scenario is as below.
We procure large equipments for our EPC business. Generally equipment supplier and transporter are different. so when material procurement team creates a purchase order, they are not generally aware of transportation costs needed .so once vendor confirms that equipment is ready for dispatch, procurement team informs logisitcs team to arrange for transporter to transport equipment to our premises.
Then Logistics team negotiates with transporters and chooses one of them . A transport purchase order against transporter is created which has freight charges and service taxes included .
But now this cost doesn't add to material Value and its giving us wrong valuation of material. So is there any better way to handle this?
Thanks
Manoj

Hi,
You just mentioned the issue but whats your actual requirements.
AS you clearly says during PO creation, Frieght cost do not know , PO created and send to vendor( material ) and Frieght vendor will be knowing later. .........OK. You have now following options, chose any one based on business demand
Option-1:
Add Frieght cost to inventory of material account by doing Subsequent debit in t.code: MIRO
http://e-mory.blogspot.com/2007/05/sap-miro-enter-freight-cost-to.html
Option-2:
Post Freight Cost to separate G/L account in t.code: MIRO by activating "G/L account' TABs in the MIRO screen in following path:
SPRO> Material Management>Logistics Invoice Verification->Incoming Invoice->Activate Direct Posting to G/L Accounts and Material Account

AP: Invoice Imports/ Miscellaneous Invoice Line types

Hi All,
I had two issues while I was importing my invoices in AP through AP Invoices Open interface:
1. Freight Charges
2. Some Unit Royality Charges.
Both of these things are not included in my PO, so I needed to create additonal invoice distribution lines with in the same invoice and also had to assign a GL account while creating the invoices. The other Item type lines get the GL account code from PO while matching is done during AP Open Import process.
The Freight charges problem is resolved. The solution for that is as follows for your reference.
Functional Steps:
1. With Accounts Payables Manager responsibility , go to
Setup->Options->Payables.
2. Select Invoice from drop down list box.
3. In invoice region Ceck the Automatically Create Freight Distribution Option.
4. Supply default Freight Account for Freight Distributions.
Technical Steps:
1. Create an additional Invoice distributions line for freight in AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE table which should not have the PO level information.
2. Set AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE.Prorate_across_flag = 'Y'
3. AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE.line_type_lookup_code = 'FREIGHT'
4. Set AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE.LINE_GROUP_Number as same in both the ITEM and Freight Invoice distribtuion line which are interrelated.
The above resolves the Freight issue and you can reproduce it in your environment.
However, I have another amount from my supplier which is called "Royality Charge" on every item which are also not present in my PO. My supplier sends these charges with Invoice lines the same way Freight charges are sent. I am thinking of creating additional Invoice lines marked as "Miscellaneous" Invoice Lines type for this charge. The problem I am facing with Miscellaneous Lines is that I cannot find a place where I can setup the Account code for such Invoice distribution lines, like I got for Freight Type Distribution lines as described above in Functional steps. Can anyone guide me in this regard or can give me an alternative workaround to handle my Unit Royality Charges?
Thanks

Apologies for the late response, have only just spotted the question.
You will need to register "line-item job-level chains of approval" under payables transaction type before you can select it from the picklist:
Setup\Action Types\"Use Existing Action Type" button, then select action type and continue.
Hope this helps (if you haven't already resolved yourself)

Issue in Credit Memo Posting in ECC against SAP TM Freight Order

Hello Experts,
I have created Credit Memo against TM Freight Order and Transferred to ECC.
Sender Outbound Service Interface on TM Side "TransportationOrderSUITEInvoicingPreparationRequest_Out" was successful.
But Receiver Inbound Service Interface on ECC Side is failing "TransportationOrderSUITEInvoicingPreparationRequest_In"
XML analysis gives below error message:
No instance of object type Purchase Order has been created. External reference
PO header data still faulty
Enter a vendor
Please enter items first
I was able to create a Service PO and Service Entry Sheet for FSD created against same Freight Order, so I don't see any issue in Config.
Thanks and Regards,
Arnab Biswas

Hi Arnab,
As understood, standard interface creates Service PO in ECC for your Freight order in SAP TM.
Then you are trying to create Invoicing document linked to the created service PO, which is just like FWSD of Freight order. Inbound XML data will give you thorough picture of this issue.
General Analysis :
When FWSD created in TM for Freight Order interface "TranspOrderSUITEInvoicingPreparationRequest_Out" is triggered and it will pass the same TM data of Freight Order to create invoice in ECC and not like the Service PO.
Kindly check your inbound XML with data in it.
You might need to change in outbound interface BADI while sending data out from SAP TM, or in inbound BADI to modify incoming data in ECC.
In SAP TM SPRO search with below content.
BAdI for TranspOrderSUITEInvoicingPreparationRequest_Out
or
you need to search inbound BADI in ECC side to make changes in inbound data.
Reward if found useful..
Thanks and Regards,
Kalpesh

Issue with Freight condition with scales

HI Experts
We have requirement like below.
When customer send an order
o     if the order contains materials for a minimum quantity the system should not apply freight condition
o     if the order contains materials for less than minimum quantity the system should apply freight condition
For example: sales condition freight has scale
     scale qty     unit     amount     unit
From     0     PC     18,3     u20AC
     4     PC     0     u20AC
e.g.1  customer send order that contain 9 PC, so system NOT apply freight condition
material     quantity
x1     1
x2     1
x3     2
x4     5
e.g.2  customer send order that contain 2 PC, so system apply freight condition
material     quantity
x1     1
x2     1
For this we have maintained Group condition and maintained scales up to 3 Order quantity 18 EUR . If order quantity is greater than 4 condition should not apply.
But Now our issue is when ever Material determination is occurring in Order our condition is going to fail. For example order quantity is 2 with TAPA item(parent item) and so substitute Item also 2 quantity (Tan item). In this case system is reading order quantity as 4 and our condition is 0. But actual quantity is 2 condition should apply in Order.
Could you please suggest us where we can control this kind of scenario.

Hi Charlie,
this is the way currently client is doing in the legacy system. whereas my undertsanding goes this cannot be done.
the business process is like this, it cannot be changed.
all the items that are procured in the PO has to be bought in a single PO. we suggested to client that to make separate PO for the items that have header freight condition and separate Po for the items that have item condition as freight condition.
these items are connected to each other. I cannot give the exact example here as the client process details are need to be kept confidential.
I am trying and testing with this scenario, may be get chance to learn more on pricing schema, even though the problem doesnot get solved.
Pl see , since you are a very senior guy .

Transfer of Freight Conditions to Billing Document - exchange rate issue

I am having an issue with my freight costs copy to customer billing document and the exchange
rate causing the values to change.
Example - SCD freight = 400 USD, but vendor is being invoiced in BRL (807.44).
The freight is passed to customer billing document, which happens to have local document currency of
EUR, but customer being invoiced in USD. However the freight is going thru some kind of exchange rate conversion, causing my original 400 USD freight
to show as 414.44 USD on the customer invoice.
I am looking for way to keep the freight from changing between SCD + Customer Billing document.
Regards
Rita

Can you share your screens from F-60 involving EUR to USD conversion?
Also, try using transaction EWCT to test conversions between currencies,
you can choose your two currencies that give you the issue, and test by
entering the initial value, seeing the converted value.

Issue in maintaining the freight condition in SRM pricing conditions

Hi All,
We have maintained the freight condition in SRM pricing conditions But when a buyer try to add the freight condition it does not give any field to add the value.We want the freight condition at the header level.
Let me know if there is any service needs to be activated or we have to activate any business function to enable this.
Please find the attached document to check the settings and actual issue while entering the freight condition.
This is urgent and please provide your suggestion to avoid this issue.
Thanks,
Ankur

Hi Anil,
Its not a standard functionality to get the Header level price condition in SRM PO . I got to know that we need to implement note 1898304 for SRM 7.13 SP01 and activate a Business function.Can anyone let me know how it used to handle in previous versions.
Thanks,

Issues with Freight delivery charges when the PO is partially received

We are having issues allocating charges for inventory valuation as well as rolling up total freight for payable invoices. We will receive partial POu2019s (via inbound delivery) with related freight for that portion. Then a couple of weeks later we will receive another segment of the PO (via inbound delivery) with more freight on it. It would be ideal if the inbound deliveries allowed us to allocate freight on the document similar to how we do with outbound deliveries but that does not appear to be an option.
Using the freight Condition at header level works great only when when the PO is full received, on partial GR's it should exist an additional solution for it.
Once the user process the first Goods Receipts, the header condition become blocked or it is gray out (It doesn't allow changes to add more freight to cover the Items we haven't receive.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi,
We can handle this using unplanned delivery costs at the time of invoice.
You can opt for GR based invoice verification.With this we can enter invoice for each goods receipt.When we enter invoice for a partial GR quantity the frieght amount portion that is mentioned in the PO is automatically captured for that perticular portion of inventory.For the subsequent receipts if there is any additional frieght than the planned delivery cost, that can be provided as unplanned delivery cost in the invoice for the perticular portion of inventory.

Goods issue from vendor consignment stock with freight charge

Hi Experts,
I have a typical scenario for GI from consignment stock with freight charge.
The consigment price is agreed of the material is agreed between the vendor and the client. The vendor buy the material and use the company/client shipment.The client carry the vendor material in their shipping. The fright charges was not included in the consignment price. Presently they accumulated the vendor frieght charge in a separate account.
When the user raise a reservation and goods issue was done from consignment stock Info record price of material for the consignment + 8% of the price of material should be charge to the user.
And the 8% of info record price of the consignment material should be posted to freight recovery account.
So there is no balance between the freight charges account and the freight recovery account.
Can you suggest who we can mapped this process?
Regards
DP

Hi DP,
As SAP doesn't Support Delivery cost settlement with the consignment process to seprate G/L ( Similar to accruals ), you need to go for Z development which while posting MRKO will be executed with refernce to PO & Issue Document Posting the freight Value to Appropriate fright G/L .

Issue in rate table & Freight order

Dear Experts,
Would you please suggest me on below issue..
1) while i am saving the rate table , it throws a error: 'Save rejected because of missing authority to save instances of node ROOT'
2) in FO order charge tab..i am not able to see charge analysis
3) While Saving the FO , it comes in execution block(says Propagated from preceding docuemnts). What could be possible cause for the excution block.
Regards,
Gautam S

Hi Gautam,
For first 2 problems you can simply run SU53 (after performing actions and you get the error), then give it to authorization team to assign you missing authorizations.
Block on FO can be for multiple reasons; if you have not blocked the preceding documents then mainly it is because some data (like movement type, location and dates in FWO etc. are missing).

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.

Chandra Shekhar

FREE PO WITH FREIGHT CHARGES

I HAD A PO SCENARIO WHERE I AM GETTING THE MATERIAL AT FREE OF COST.
FOR THAT I HAVE TO PAY FREIGHT CHARGES.
FURTHER WE NEED TO UPDATE GOODS RECEIPT , STOCKS AND ISSUES ALSO.
PLEASE ADVISE IN THIS REGARD FOR CREATION OF PO .

One way is removing GR based I/V tick and keep FOC indicator in PO and finally book frieght cost as unplanned delivery cost but like this GR valuation will still be zero.
Another method is do not use FOC and feed a minimum basic price say 0.01 Rs and feed actuall freight charges. Finally clear 0.01 Rs entry manually thru MR11 (GR/IR maintenance). I prefer second method if freight charges are considerable.

Issue in Split invoicing

Hi,
I have an issue in split invoicing.
Here is the scenario:
If we have indicated purchase condition for split invoicing (for
example excise tax) we dont want to post them to inventory , i
want to configure an offset condition .In the system i configred
2 cond type for +ve and -Ve.Also configured Act key and Accruals
I used AltCty 409 but i do not get the result..
So Can anyone tell me that how to configure in condition type and
how it works....
Thanks in advance.
Nitin

Hi.
Do not use the alternate condition formula for alternative calculation type. Already you have used the account key and accrual key.
You can use either of the one.
Either you can use accrue key or account key.
Accrual key generally used for freight and freight related cost.
I would suggest use the account key and you need to assign the account key to the condition type in the OB40.
Try this it may resolve your issue. If it helps award me.
Cheers
Umakanth.
