Grouping transport documents in one shipment cost document???

Hello!
I need to create one shipment costs document for several shipment, grouping by carrier and range of shipment end date. Does anyone know if it´s possible?
Thanks in advance
Manuel

Hi Ramky,
I know that VI04 allows to create shipment cost documents massively, but at this moment the system generates one shipment cost document per each shipment document. I want to group by service agent and date
Anyway, thank you!

Liability on two transport vendors for one shipment

I am in the process of configuring transportation with two level leg determination. That is from parent plant to one destination, it would be in main leg and from that destination to final destination in subsequent leg.
The purpose of doing is that liability should be created on two transport vendors while creating shipment document. I have done almost all configuration settings related to this in IMG > Logistics Execution > Transportation and Routes. But I am unable to create second shipment document via VT01N. First of all, my doubt is, is it possible to create a shipment document without considering the parent delivery document since it has already been assigned to first shipment.
Have searched the forum but I am unable to find a solution. Need experts help.
Kaushal

hi kushal,
this is to inform you that,
ok you are doing transportation chain concept and in that you are using two TCP one is main leg for one destination and second destination for subsequent leg.
here i have a doubt, you are processing one single delivery with two different vendors, please correct me if am wrong.
if you are using one single delivery for two shipments creation it is not possible, because the delivery is already assigned to frist shipment. so please create a shipment document with collective shipment but dont take individual shipment and try.

Hi Sujith,
This situation may arriase anytime.
it is possible to create one shipment cost document for more than 2 forwarding agents.
Standard SAP gives all the option in such scenario.
No Z developments required for achieving seperate costing for individual forwarder.

Business Area not flowing automatically in Shipment Cost document

Hi there,
In transportation module, while creating shipment cost document, business area is not flowing automatically. Upon more exploration we found that plant is also not flowing, and may be because of that business area is not flowing. What can the posible reasons for plnt not flowing? Suggest solution.
Thanks and Regards,
Deepshikha

Dear Deepshikha,
Please check the Assign purchasing data settings in T_53 transaction with the combination of the plant.
Through this setting plant will flow in the shipment cost document.
I don't have idea about where the businees area field avail in the shipment cost document.
If so please chek the settings related to business area through this IMG path.
SPRO>IMG>Enterprise structure>Assignment>Business Area Account Assignment.
Define Rules By Sales Area
If Rule 1 is assigned then
Assign Business Area To Plant And Division
If Rule 2 is assigned then
Assign Business Area by Sales Area.
I hope it will help you,

Can group print orders ( example various greeting card designs) to one shipment

I recently ordered two types of greeting cards within minutes from each others. They were handled and shipped separately. One has arrived the other hasn't. Does iPhoto have a shopping cart type of feature ( like many others do) This way I can group my orders into one shipment ( 2 books, various size prints, greeting cards )

No. Only multiple copies of the same item are shipped together. The two different card types constitute two different orders and must be shipped separately.

VI01(shipment cost)

hi to all..!
can any one help me on "shipment cost"...(VI01)? what exactly shipment cost ? how it will work?
thanks
rodick

Hi,
Let me explain with eg:
Company have the plant in US & their Canada customer (all partner functions r same)places order for goods.
Now the goods has to be delivered from US to Canada.
in this case, Incoterms will play the key role, how the goods has to be delievered?
Say goods flow will be through "Sea" way- from US port to Canada port.
Transporation steps:-
1-goods has to be moved from US plant to US port
2-from US port to Canada port
3-from Canada port to Customer
transportation 1 will be bare by the comp
2&3 will by customer.
where company will deliver the goods from US port to Canada port
company will take service from the 3rd party(vendor/forwarding agent)
to deliver the goods to Canada port & the this charge will be
collected from customer & paid to the vendor.
while creating delivery- will assign the vendor name
in delivery header - partners tab ( if th vendor isnt same always)
will create the delivery. Before PGI will create shipment
doc(VT01n) means deliveries will be collected which flows
from the same shipment mode like sea.
Service PO - ML81N has to generate for this vendor- this is an
agreement with the vendor for one year.
Service PO 12 line items indicates each per month.
Condition record will be captured/copied from Cond master data
maintianed in Tcode:TK11- based on transportation zone basis.
then shipment cost document -VI01 will create with ref to
the shipment document & its specific to the vendor.
once save the shipment cost document,service acceptance-SES doc will generate
and released to FI.
Now, we have to do MIRO-Vendor invoice verification-
once invioce verified - amount will be settled to the vendor
this is nothing but frieght amount incurred to transport the
goods to the customer.
when creating billing doc- this freight amount will be charged from the customer.
this is the std transportation flow.
Hope it clears.

Extraction shipment cost 2lis_08trfkz

Hi,
I have a problem with shipment cost. A shipment cost is assigned to a transport.
Datas are updated to BI system. When I delete a shipment cost in order to create an other one and assign it to the same transport, BI system detects changes, but it create 2 register with the same transport number but different shipment cost. I need a DSO to store data, but the KEY FIELD must be transport numer, shipment cost and shipment cost item. Then tha data are update into a cube.
Is there into SAP R/3 a field when I can store deleted shipment costs? The used table is VFKP, but there is no place where I can store deleted shipment cost. Do you know how I can solve this problem?
Thank you very much

Hi pcamp :
The solution for you is to add to your DSO the Reversal Indicator (InfoObject 0STORNO), this way you can identify the deleted Shipments/Shipment Cost documents when the 0STORNO = 'R'. If the 0STORNO = '' then the document exists in the ERP.
You could either make 0STORNO part of the Data Fields or Key Fields of you DSO, depending on your particular needs (overwrite or preserve existing records).
Hi Ramesh:
As you mentioned before, the SAP Note 440166 explains that there is ODS Capability for Shipment and Shipment Costs DataSources.
Depending on the Support Package of your SAP System you may need to apply the corrections, according to the follwoing SAP Note: 440416 - BW OLTP: Correction report for change of delta process.

Hi Moazzam
Actually I am not a new member, just created a new ID. Unfortunately I have lost my old id .
I did search Google and SCN from the last two days before posting this discussion in SCN. Some of the good links which helped me for the configuration are:
Standard Shipment Process
Shipment Cost Processing - Delta - TD - Transportation and Distribution - SAP Library
Transportation Configuration and Process Flow - ERP Operations - SCN Wiki
Shipment cost
Shipment cost basic configuration...
Transportation (LE-TRA) - SAP Library
Shipment cost - VI01
Net value is zero when creating shipment cost
ETC...
Currently get the SDTRA.PDF document which I am reading .....
Infact after reading all the document I still unable to understand the proper technical flow required for shipment cost calculation.
Please share me your concept, it will be helpful for me.

Shipment cost: number of items in service entry sheet

Dear Experts,
Is there a customizing setting that restricts the maximum allowed number of lines in service entry sheets?
Context:
Once I transfer shipment costs, several goods receipt sheets and service entry sheets are created.
I first thought that there was a one-on-one releationship between a shipment cost item and a service entry sheet. I.e. if there are e.g. 7 shipment cost items, than 7 service entry sheets are created.
The shipment cost distribution level is set on "delivery item": if for one shipment cost item, there are 250 delivery items, the cost is distributed all over these 250 delivery items. For each delivery item, a line is created in the service entry sheet. However, in my case 3 service entry sheets are created with on:
- 1st service entry sheet: 99 items
- 2nd service entry sheet: 99 items
- 3nd service entry sheet 52 items
Is there a way to avoid that several entry sheets are created for one . In my case that only 1 entry sheet with 250 items is created after transfer.
Thanks for the help!
Kind Regards
Thiago Santos

If you are not posting the delivery cost on the material value, then use A - Shipment costs item in the item category.
Delivery sub-item - A shipment cost sub-item will be created for every relevant delivery sub-item.
Shipment costs item - One shipment cost sub-item will be created.

Shipment Cost Document (LE-Transportation)

Hi
After flagging the Transfer check box in the Settlement Tab in item details of shipment cost document(VI03), the Purchase order(ME23N) and Service entry sheet(ML81N) are automatically getting generated. PO and Service entry sheet numbers can be seen in Service Procurement tab.
Question 1: When I separetely look into PO, I am unable trace back the flow. I mean, there is no reference of Shipment cost number in PO.
Question 2: I want the service entry sheet to get on hold/not accepted status so that i can add the list of services performed by the Forwarding agent / service agent mentioned in Shipment cost document.
Question 3: Is there any configuration setting which makes only to create a PO automatically and not the Service Entry sheet ??
Note: This subject is a mix of Transportation (Logistics Execution) and External Service Management (Materials management). The moderator of this forum can take a call on placement of this thread under suitable section.

Automatic creation of PO from shipment cost document

Dear Experts
PLease let me know the settings with description to understand for the creation of PO from shipment cost document. It seems inegration with FI is also needed. Request your explanation with the settings in SPRO
Thanks
Ganesh

For automatic Generation of Purchase Order
SPRO > Logistics Execution > Transport > Shipment Costs > Shipment Cost Document > Shipment Cost Types and Item Categories > Define item Categories (T_56)
   In the Generate PO, Enter one of A, B, C.
       Do not generate purchase order
A    Generate purchase order for validity period of 1 day
B    Generate purchase order for validity period of 1 week
C    Generate purchase order for validity period of 1 month
For assigning posting in G/L Accounts
SPRO > Logistics Execution > Transport > Shipment Costs > Shipment Cost Document > Shipment Cost Types and Item Categories > Assign shipment cost types and item categories
Based on the item category created before, assign the valuation class.
Assign the Valuation class to the Shipment header or leg (whichever is planned for ) and the item category you created before.
Assigning the Shipment cost type to the shipment type
SPRO > Logistics Execution > Transport > Shipment Costs > Shipment Cost Document > Shipment Cost Relevance and Default for Shipment Cost Type (T_57)
Assign the Shipment cost type to the Shipment type and mark it as relevant for shipment cost.
Checking the assignment of G/L Accounts to the Valuation Class

Select the Account Assignment - GBB - Enter the Chart of Accounts - Check if VBR was assigned the G/L accounts for the Valuation class you specified before.

Freight capitalization for STO process using shipment cost document

Dear MM experts
I have been testing and trying to charge freight to material using transportation module. I know how to do it in simple STO process without SCD (shipment cost document) but I am not able to do it with SCD.
I have searched and tried every link I found on SCN. Unfortunately there are many open threads and non of them is answered or giving complete solution. For example I have tried this link where Ajit Kumar has explained the scenario in detail I am but unable to achieve my result. I have also tried other links and SAP note 427944 as well.
Now what thing confusing me is accounting entries and documents/steps where these accounting entries will be posted.
My current process is like this in plant to plant transfer under same company code
STO > OBD > Shipment Document > PGI > Accouting Entry with 641 movement type. Material account debit and same account credit. > Shipment Cost document > GR with 101 without any accounting entry > Transfer freight cost to FI using Freight Service PO determination > Accounting Entry Freight Outward Expense Debit and Freight Clearing Account Credit > MIRO > Accounting Entry Freight Clearing Debit and Vendor Credit
As you can see we are booking freight as an expense and not charging to material. Now what I want is that freight should be charged to material. If I am sending material from plant P000 to plant P201 under same comapny code then freight charges should be added in material cost in plant P201.
I have done FRB1 condition type with accrual and copy shipment cost tick mark and other stuff suggested in all those threads but it is not working.
My requirement is to understand the points where and what accounting entries will be created as per my new scenario which is same as old one except one difference which is to charge freight to material instead of booking expense in freight service PO.
Lets take an example that material cost price is 100 and freight charges is 50. Now as per old threads at the time of GR against OBD system will create accounting document with 150 debiting the stock in plant P201. What about credit? If we have added freight here then what about 2nd accounting entry in my first scenario in which freight expense is debited and clearing account is credited? Could anyone please explain accounting entries and points where these entries will be posted?
Another thing is that is it only possible with moving average price to charge freight to material or can we do this with standard price as well using some standard or customized solution?
Detailed and easy to understand answer will be highly appreciated.
Thank$

Hi Moazzam ;
Firstly, you can benefit Badi/s in package VTRA which is given belowed.
Secondly , i think that shipping method --> create sto with delivery --> create shipment document and shipment cost document (problem is starting so system will be create PO and service entry sheet automatically , can you try shipment document is non-related with cost document.
Thirdly , you can post invoices charge to material with miro , if you success to direct freight costs to stock account (BSX).
Also , you can benefit doc. sap behaviours for Std price/ Map --> Planned & unplanned delivery costs in mm
I hope , you can manage your process ; for me standart way is the best.
Regards.

Auto creation of Shipment cost document

Hi Folks,
Is anyone aware of how to create a shipment cost document using a function module?
I need to create shipment cost document as well as update the condition values. But all this needs to be done via a BAPI or something in the background.
Thanks,
Mihir

Seen an abaperr and check out the program "RV56TRSL" for your requirement. Through this program, you can Schedule the creation of Shipment cost document.
If you're talking about automatic PO creation then you need to do the following:
1. Assignment with relevant Purchasing org & group will be done at SPRO->LE->Transportation->Shipment cost->settlement->Assign Purchasing data
2. To create the PO automatic you need to do these settings :-
By selecting the shipment cost & item category for automatic PO (T_56) and selected the default PO type for the transaction.
Path :- IMG > Material Mgt. >Purchasing >Define default Values for Document Type.
Path :- IMG >Logixtic Execution >transportation -> Shipment Cost >Ship Cost Document >Shipment Cost Type & Item Category (T_56).
3. Remember to check EKKN which is the table for account assignment in PO.
Good luck

Service Entry sheet Creation for Shipment cost Document

Dear All,
While creating a shipment cost document .A service PO is getting generated in the back ground based on which a service entry sheet is created and LIV is made.But in the configuration we are mapping the Transportation planning point to Purchase organisation alone.
Can some one let me know whether the generation of PO in the back ground for a shipment cost document in the back ground is a standard SAP feature if so can you tell me the configuration steps.
Regards,
K.Vivek

Hi,
Creation of Service PO in shipment cost document is based on the following SPRO setting or T-code.
T code : T_56.
SPRO > LE > Transportation > shipment cost Document > Shipment cost types and item categoires.
Get into the details of item categoires, you can see the indicator Generate PO.
hope this helps.

Shipment Cost to Invoice document

Dear All,
We have the following scenario in Transportation Module.
When we create the Shipment document (VT01N) against the delivery, the user does not aware of the chargeable weight of the consignment as transporter charges are on volume basis which may be different from the actual weight. So he creates the Shipment document & Shipment cost document with the actual weight and commercial and excise invoices. Here no accounting entries passed to FI.
In this case user gets the actual chargeable weight after one or two days of the dispatch. Here we change the shipment cost document (VI01) with the actual weight and relevant value. Now this exact value has to be reflected in the invoice document instead of that old value since the CO-PA analysis require the transportation charges.
Pls advise how to handle this scenario.
Thanks,
JJ

In one of my earlier projects, I have done the following which you can consider
Weightment will be made in two stages. That is empty vehicle will be weighed while entering the plant and after loading when the vehicle reaches the security gate, again it is weighed with load. At both these stages, entry will be made through a zee transaction so that system will capture the exact weight of the material by referring the delivery document.
So while generating shipment cost, through an exit in the background, system will fetch the difference in weight and post the value accordingly.
thanks
