Inbound freight - Goods receipt before Shipment cost document

Hi,
We are in process of implementing Transportation module for capturing Inbound freight.
All our test cases passed except 2) mentioned below:
Operationally transactions sequence can happen in two ways:
1) Purchase Order -> Inbound delivery -> Shipment document ->Shipment Cost ->Goods receipt ->Invoice verification - Materials
> Invoice verification - Freight
2) Purchase Order -> Inbound delivery -> Goods receipt ->Shipment document -> Shipment Cost -> Invoice verification - Materials
> Invoice verification - Freight
In case 1 we are we are getting correct results as freight amount is getting added in material cost during MIGO as below
Inventory              Dr          (is sum of GR/IR and Frt Provision)
GR/IR                    Cr
Frt Provision         Cr
While in case 2) since MIGO is done prior to shipment document we are not able to get FI effects for freight cost. Hence Invoice booking is not possible for freight neither it is getting added into materials.
Results expected as below :
In case 1 , same as it is happening today.
In case 2, it should post freight provision at shipment cost document so that freight booking can be done.
        Inventory       Dr
        Frt Provision Cr
It will be of great help if anybody suggest solution on this.

Rail Car shipments and Shipment Cost Document

Hi all,
We have a rail car shipments scenario. We wanted to include the freight forwarder in the shipment cost document. The FF is not one of the carriers in the route stages ( hence they are not coming the shipment cost document) but they so some sort of documentation for which we pay them . The logistics department wanted the FF to come in the shipment cost document. At which stage of the rail car shipment /routes we can enter them so that a SCD will be created for this.

hi,
because there is no any T.code whic SAP has provided on the same.
you can use BATCH JOBS for your requriment.
other wise this is a major ENHANCEMENT.
you need to catch hold of BAPI & develop a Z screen for your requriment and do it.

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.

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:

Split a Shipment costs document into several MM document by carrier

Hi gurus,
I am trying to split a Shipment costs document into several MM document by carrier. We need the system to search for an existing MM order if not found create a new one (the system is set to do it by V_TVFT-BESER value A).
I have a route with different stages. These stages/steps have associated different carriers (or partners).
When these data is transferred to MM purchase order the system gives an error with the message no. M7107:
Enter goods receipts for vendor 103962 only
Message no. M7107
The system does the purchase orders but not the 101 movement.
Does someone met this problem before?
I am in 700 SAP version with package 12
Regards.
Mikel

Hi,
Check out BADI BADI_SCD_PO_SELECT. This allows you to control which purchase order is used for shipment costing.

Issue is of Assignment Cost Accounting in Shipment Cost Document.

Issue is of Assignment Cost Accounting in Shipment Cost Document.
We are trying and unable to load the freight cost incurred on
transporting the material on its cost itself along with all the

Trasnportation cost in this activity is 20$.
We want to add this 20 $ at material cost i.e. material valued at Plant
is of 100 $ and same material valued at Depot should be 120$ Instead of
just 100 $.
Its an Urgent Issue and we seek your assistance in resolving it.

How to update sales order number (KAUFN) characteristic in the profitability segment of the PA document created at the time of service entry sheet confirmation, as a result of shipment cost document

Hi,
We have a scenario wherein we create shipment cost documents against delivery. As a result of shipments fully transferred, a PO for freight vendor is automatically created and a service entry sheet confirmation happens. As a result of service entry sheet confirmation, we have Financial accounting, Controlling and profitability analysis documents created. We have a requirement wherein we need to have the characteristic “sales order number (KAUFN)” populated in the profitability analysis document created as a result of service entry sheet confirmation.
Could someone please advice how could this be attained in COPA. Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Sandeep

Hi Ajay,
Thank you for the quick update.
The document is updated to COPA through OKB9 settings. The profitability segment is updated with fields like customer, product, company code, plant, sales area data, profit center, etc; however the sales order number is missing.
Could you please elaborate further how could FI substitution be implemented to call for the FM COPA_PROFITABILITY_SEGMENT through user exit? Are you recommending the substitution through GGB1? What could be the possible validation to call for the user exit to be implemented?

Sandeep Kulkarni

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

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
SPRO > Logistics Execution > Transport > Shipment Costs > Settlement > Automatic G/L Account Determination
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.

Problem during creation of shipment document and shipment cost document

Hi
My client facing problem during creation of shipment document and shipment cost document at the time of Batch Job
Delivery no 897654: goods issue on 30.11 at 13:22. Shipment on 30.11 (VT01N).
Shipment costs on 1.12 (VI01).
the problem is the shipment document get created on 30.11.2010 but the shipment cost document get created on 1.12.2010
pleas advice.

Hi,
Please check the batch job processing log.
As per my understanding, business requires to generate the Shipment & Shipment cost documents immediatley.
However there is some time between the documents creation time. I dont see any issue in the data or problem in the delivery docs Because system will not generate the shipment docs after 1 or 2 days if there is an issue with the data . There must be problem in the Batch Job.
Analyse the batch jobs and timing of the job process.
Let us know your feedback...

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

Free PO with shipment costs from shipment cost document

Hello,
We have a scenario where materials is received free from vendor but shipments costs are still paid to the vendor.
For shipment costs, we are creating inbound delivery against PO, then Inbound shipment and inbound shipment cost document.
The requirement is that shipment costs should get updated in Moving avg price.
But If I am marking Purchase order as Free, shipment costs are also not getting updated during GR as system also considers shipments free of charge.
Is there a way to handle this problem.
We are creating GR through vl32n and not through MIGO.
Regards
Karan

Hi,
You can try this solution.
1.Do not tick the free indicator
2.Create a condition type for discount and put 100% discount for that condition.
3.Create a condition type for shipment as a value (delivery cost) without accruals tick in the codition type(customizing).
4.Enter the shipment cost for this condition.
5.Set the pricing procedure in such a way that the gross price of the PO will not consider this shipment cost.Hence the gross price of the PO will be zero (Free of cost) but the net price will consider the shipment cost.
This shipment cost will get loaded on to inventory.
As you have defined the shipment condition type as delivery cost condition type , you can change the vendor in details of the condtion if required.

Satish Purandare

Create Shipment Cost Document by interface without shipment

Hi,
is there a possibility to create a shipment cost document by an interface from an external transportation planning system without having LE-TR shipments in the ERP system?
We would like to use the shipment cost document for the freight cost posting.
Rgds,
Ralf Weske

Hi Ralf,
I dont think you can process Shipment cost Document, without creating a shipment in SAP.
If your External Transport system can provide you a report lets say in excel format then you can use "FB60" to create an invoice.
Problem here will be to compare the data sent by External transportor to actual. for this you can develop a report in SAP system based on your requirements to calculate frieght cost.
Once Excel file will be receivied from transporter you run the report in sap compare the data, if found inline process the invoice in FI with FB60
I hope this makes sense.

Paresh

Document date of Shipment cost document in a transfer document

Hi Gurus,
I have created a new shipment document and a new shipment cost document. I have created the news document with the settlement date to 30.06.2008. Then, I have transferred the shipment cost document.
The problem is the document date of the new account document that is 16.07.2008, while the posting date is 30.06.2008.
Is it possible to change or to assign the document date before to transfer the shipment cost document?
Thanks in advance.
XeviG.

Dear Karan,
My problem is not the settlement date, it is correct to 30.06.2008 because I need settlement in a period before (period 06). My problem is the document date in the account document that I need the same than settlement date, 30.06.2008, when I transfer the shipment cost document.
I need modify or introduce the document date before to transfer shipment cost documents.

Export Shipment Cost Document / Service Agent

Dear Gurus,
My client having Exports, Client is sending goods from shipping Point to Port through Truck, its a direct leg. forwarding agent is one from shipping point to port, but another agent is responsible for the "Clearing and Forwarding agent" activities.
In my shipment document on upper side i put the forwarding agent who is responsible from shipping point to port, and by default there is only one field of forwarding agent.
But I have two item category so that can call two procedure in the cost document, one is for cost of truck and second is for clearing cost.
I can successfully call two line items in the shipment cost with two different procedure, but forwarding agent is one. when i double click on the first line and change the "Invoicing Party" system can accept this but still forwarding agent at header is not change. Means when put the check of transfer and save the document both cost hit the same vendor appear on the shipment document,
I want that shipment cost to be hit to both first line cost to the main agent (truck), and second line cost is to the "clearing agent" which i put on the shipment cost against the "invoicing party field".
Hope gurus understand the scenario nad assist me.
Regards,

Issue resolved, through partner function functionality.
Add the partner on the shipment document screen, and same would be call on the shipment costing document.
