LE-TRA: Cost shipment transfer to FI-CO

Hi,
I´m trying to transfer the shipment cost document on VI01 and, after checking the "Transfer" flag on settlement tab and saving appears the following message: "General error during acceptance posting".
The automatic account determination works properly but in ME23N the account assigment category appears as "U" but i defined as "K" in configuration.
Is it any special configuration on MM-PUR, FI or CO needed?
Any idea about this error?
Thanks,
TP

Hello,
Kindly check in the Default setting or personal setting of PO.
This could be one of the reasons why it is changing.
Check in material master special procurement key setting.

SFG cost at Transfer Price

Hi,
We want to arrive SFG cost at Transfer Price in another plant. Can anyone please help me with the process steps for the same. Please note that we don't want to activate Material Ledger for the same. Just want to capture transfer price in another plant. Can anyone please help as this is an urgent issue.
Regards,
Varsha

Hi,
The two plants in question are in the same company code?
If they are in the same company code I think you will need to use the transfer price functionality in PCA and a separate cost component to capture the delta profit.

After Settlement, Cost not transfer from one WBS to another WBS in customer project

Hello Experts,
I am trying to settle cost from one WBS (i.e. XYZ-000014-1) to another WBS (i.e. XYZ-00001)in customer project.
Its a revenue type of project.
I have added 4 internal activities in an network under one WBS (i.e. XYZ-000014-1).
Got actual values after confirming activities, then settle that network cost on WBS (i.e. XYZ-000014-1) through CJ88.
Now while trying to settle that cost from WBS (i.e. XYZ-000014-1) to WBS (i.e. XYZ-00001) through CJ88, system not showing any result.
Kindly give ur valuable inputs.
Regards,

Kindly tell me that is it a standard functionality of SAP that through CJ88 we can transfer cost from WBS to WBS.
Technically ,Yes.Cost is actually transferred from one cost object to another cost object.
I hv discuss the same with some of my frds ...some are denying the same that its not a standard functionality of SAP to transfer cost on same cost object.
Instead of 'transfer' I would rather use the word 'settlement' . Practically, they are right as projects-WBS are temporary endeavors of companies, and cost can not reside on WBS permanently as it has to settle to some entity (organizational unit) which can be accounted during the reconciliation of their chart of accounts and balance sheets.
SAP has provided us an option to settle our cost to WBS and hence its standard . Generally, we use it when we have 1 WBS at level 1 and all lower WBS's costs is settled to this WBS . Here, we specify Level 1 WBS as the receiver of cost of these lower WBS.
Hope,I am clear here.

MTO--Cost component transfer to COPA

Hi Friends,
I have MTO with sale order as cost object. It means COPA documnet will be created not at the time of billing but at the time of Sale order settlement. So first i have finished the production order settlement , then sale order settlement. While doing this system is transferring to COPA cogs as single amount but it has to go cost component wise.
Please advise me.
Regards
Rajesh A

Hi,
There is no problem in Cost component. Problem is that for each cost component i am not able to transfer to more than one value field. In my example CASH COST is not a cost compone , its description of the value field.
Cost componet is Raw materiala ( fixed+ variable ) = i want to transfer to two value field - 1. Material and 2 .Cash cost.
But somehow system is updating the value only to the first value field which in this case material but not updating the second value field which Cash cost.

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:

Shipment cost with diff. service agent

HI,
I want to calculate shipment cost for a customer. The customer is based at location D. I am transporting materia; from locationA. From A to B my shipment type is Truck and service agent isX . From B to C my shipment type is Train and service agent is Y. From C to D my shipment type is Bus and service agent is Z.
service agent X an Y are charging on the basis of KM and Z the basis of material weigth.
I want to create and calulate a shipment document / shipment cost document one each for a service agent.Also, want to combine cost of shipment and the same should get refelect in customer invoice.
Also, let me know how should i go for automatic leg determination in shipment and about tax in shipment document?

Hi,
In bulk transportation and distribution you can assign partners at the following levels:
Shipment header
Vehicle
Shipment stage
You can assign multiple partners at each of these levels. The shipment costing process uses the partner assignments to calculate and settle costs with service providers (partners).
Activities
Partner functions and partner procedures are defined in Customizing for Sales and Distribution by choosing Basic Functions - Partner determination - Define and assign partner determination procedures. You can freely define partner functions, however, the following partner procedures must be used:
OTR
Shipment header
OTS1
Shipment stage
OTS2
Shipment transfer point
OTS3
Shipment border
OTS4
Shipment vehicle
Partner Assigned at Shipment Header Level
Partners used for the entire shipment are assigned at the Shipment Header level. You assign partners to shipments from the Shipment Header screen by choosing Goto - Partner header.
Partner Assigned at Vehicle Level
You can assign partners to vehicles within a shipment. For example, the partner could be a carrier responsible for the vehicle. A different partner can be assigned to each vehicle in the shipment. You assign partners to vehicles in the Vehicle Overview screen by choosing Goto(2) - Vehicle partner.
Alternatively, you can assign carriers to vehicles in the vehicle master data record so that the carrier is automatically proposed for the vehicle in a shipment. This partner is used for all the stages of the vehicle route, if no partner was defined in Customizing for the route or stages.
Partner Assigned at Stage Level
You can assign a different partner to each stage in a shipment. The stage type (leg, transfer point, and border crossing point) determines the partner procedure. For example, partner assignment at stage level could be used to represent a customs agent at a border crossing. You can assign partners to stages from the Document Stage Assignment screen by choosing Goto - Maintain stages - Goto(2) - Partner stages.
If you assign a partner to a route or stage in Customizing, the partner is automatically proposed for the corresponding stages of the route. If the partner is changed in the Vehicle Overview screen, then all partners which are not from Customizing are replaced with the one that was entered in the Vehicle Overview screen. You can assign partners to stages in Customizing for IS-Oil Downstream by choosing TD - TD Master Data - Route Definition - Define routes and stages.

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

Need complete Configuration steps for creating Shipment & Shipment costs.

Hi,
Can anybody explain the Configuration steps in IMG required to create Shipment (T Code - VT01) & Shipment costs (VI01).
Thanks in advance.
Manjunath.

hi
Route can be determined in sales order with the help of 5 parameters: depart country, shipping conditions in customer master record, transportation group in material master, destination country, and weight group.
Weight group plays a vital role. The purpose of route determination is like in scenario's where company will ship goods to the customer in various ways not only that it has optional of having n number of routes select the best one & based on his customer priority (time & money.) for sending samples company will go for air, for delivering ordered goods it can go for different mode of transportation & routes.
Route Determination: Departure country zonedestination country zoneshipping condition+ transportation Group+Weight Group ( Optional)= Route.(0VRF)
Plant determination in the sales order: System will search first for Customer material Info Record, if it is not maintained there it will check for customer master record, if it is not maintained here also system will search for material master record..
Configuration part:
SPRO > Routes Basic shipping functions  Shipping -LE -
Define Routes:
Define mode of transportation
Define shipping types.
Assign shipping types to mode of transportation.
Define Routes and Stages
Maintain Stages For All Routes
Route Determination:
Define Transportation Zones
Maintain Country And Transportation Zone For Shipping Point
Define Transportation Groups
Define Weight Groups
Maintain Route Determination in the combination of
a) Departure country/Departure Zone - maintained in shipping point configuration
b) Shipping condition from the sales order
c) Transportation planning group maintained in General/Plant view of material master.
d) Destination country/Transportation zone maintained in General view -Address of Customer master of Ship to Party.

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

Cost component split transfer for Profit center valuation in ke27

Dear All,
We have activated multiple valuation/transfer prices. Material ledger is also activated.
We want to transfer cost component split to CO-PA by ke27.
We have defined separate costing keys for access to actual cost estimate for legal and profit center valuations.
But cost component split transfer to COPA works only for legal valution. Even we have defined type of valution for profit center costing key -transfer cost component split and total costs.
What should be else customized to transfer cost components splitting in profit center valuation to CO-PA from actual cost estimates?
With best regards,
Kamila.

Hi,
I have assigned the same value fields used for legal valuation to column 2, which was pointed in message.
But now I got following message in ke27:
For actual data, value fields that were already populated before CO-PA valuation cannot be changed in valuation.
1. As a rule, value fields that were filled before CO-PA valuation - be it from SD or by a manual entry of a line item - can only be changed by means of user exits.
(Note that for plan data, CO-PA valuation always has priority over the values planned manually.)
2. The valuation steps in a CO-PA valuation strategy are numbered sequentially. These numbers determine the order in which the steps are carried out within that strategy. As a rule, value fields populated in one step can be used as a basis for calculating values for other value fields in a subsequent step.
Value fields that were populated in a previous step are generally not overwritten by subsequent steps.
The exception to this are steps that use a CO-PA user exit. User exits let you change individual value fields.
3. If you valuate using multiple material cost estimates simultaneously, this means that the values of different cost components within the same cost estimate are aggregated and then entered in one CO-PA value field. However, value fields that already contain data from a previous cost estimate are not overwritten by a later cost estimate. Consequently, you should assign value fields in Customizing so that the values of different cost estimates are entered in different sets of value fields.
4. When condition values are transferred to CO-PA value fields, note that condition types that are assigned to the same value field are added together. This is also the case when the condition types come from different costing sheets within the valuation strategy.
So does it mean we should define separate value fields for PC valuation?
With best regards,
Kamila.

Transfer of Free of cost unit at 10% markup to Main product

and net result of BD players is NIL
Requirement
Transcational Procedure `to transfer BD player COst price +10% to LCD and how to get above desired figures which are realistic
BR
Sajida

Hi,
The copy control setting can be made through VTFL
But not sure about percentage of margin, it will transfer hole cost of free item to main item
For your requirement in pricing procedure create two conditions for represnting cost
Say
PR00 - is for basic price - 100000
VPRS - Cost - 10000
VPRM - Margin Cost - 1000
Profit will be 89000
Now to bring the 10 % cost from free item to main item you have to write routine and assign in pricing procedure aginst VPRM condition
