List of forwarding agents in priority order

Hello!
My client sometimes need to change the automatically determined forwarding agent in the sales order. The requirement is to have the search help return a list of forwarding agents valid for the specific route/destination sorted by preference. The client wants to rank all forwarding agents in some kind of "source list" and it must be possible to change the rank of the forwarding agents without having to delete all entries and re-enter them again. Is there anyone who had a similar problem?
Best regards
/Björn

No, I have not come across this anywhere. But here are my thoughts to meet the requirement:
You can use Vendor classification and classify the vendors using a custom class created for this purpose with 3 characteristics: 1) Routes served, 2) Destination served, and 3) Preference Ranking. Then you can use the match code help 'Vendors by class' to find them.
Alternately , since Forwarding Agents are vendors, have you considered using Vendor Evaluation in an elementary fashion? May be your users can just assign them a rank. You may need to develop a match code for search help to get a list by evaluation rank, or the users can run the ranking list in another session, find the vendor and replace the partner in the Sales order.

At the time of saving a sales order the system is showing the Incompletion messege saying taht "Forwarding Agent" is missing.
Checked in the following settings:
In VOPA : FA is not selected for TA.
In the sold to party master data FA is also not selected.
In OVA2 also there is no such settings.
Where to do to necessary settings so that i can avoid FA in sales order.

Forwarding Agent on Sales Order Coming as Customer ( I want it for Vendor )

Hello Folks,
When i select a forwarding agent on the sales order header , i am getting an error "Customer not created " and opens up an F4 help for customers . The thing is my forwarding agents have been created as vendors and I want my vendors to show up in F4 help.
FYI , in partner determination ,for the partner function FA(forwarding agent ) i have set up the partner type as LI (Vendor ). Even then it doesnt work.
Please advice what else I should do.
Thanks,

Hi,
At what level this is happening in sales order either @ Header or Item level.
- Re-check in Tx:VOPA - assigned partner determination procedure.
If you are using ECC 6.0
then use the partner fuction : CR - Forwarding agent - partner type (LI - as mentioned)
where as in Sales order, Partner fucntion you have to use it "SP-Forwarding agent" ( note: SP is not sold to party in SO , for Sold to Party its AG)
Check both @ Header & item level.

Adding Forwarding Agent to Partner details in a Sales Order.

Hi Experts,
Below is the detailed scenario :
We have inbound orders been created by Idocs Orders04 using the Idoc_Input_orders function module.
the requirement is that if the partner forwarding agent is not been populated in Idoc then we need to add the same in the SO Partner details from Z table based on the sold to party in the idoc.
Can anyone please help how I can proceed with the requirement. I have created a Z table and maintain the entries. I am not understanding where i should be doing the Coding for the same.
Thanks and Regards,
Nimisha.

Hello,
inside the VA01-transaction there are the userexits EXIT_SAPLV09A_001 to EXIT_SAPLV09A_004 influencing the partner determination. Think most probably you could use the EXIT_SAPLV09A_004
(Enhancement is V09A0004).
You could switch on that one and look, which partners are in the order at that point of time.

Fixing forwarding Agent based on Sales Order volume

Hi Experts,
Based on the Sales Order total volume, how can I fix a forwarding agent for that. Eg. If the Sales Order volume (Pls note this is not order Quantity) is more than 500 lbs that has to be despatch only through forwarding agent DHL.
Waiting for the help to solving this issue.
Christine.

You will need to add code to do you determination via a user exit or badi.
Take a look at mv45afzz or some of the include exits around it in sapmv45a.
You will need to supplement delivered logic with your own in order to do what you want to do.

Forwarding Agent should come automatically in Sales order

Hi Experts,
My user's requirement is Forwarding agent should come automatically in Sales order at partners tab.
Can you please suggest what configuration do ineed to do,
To get this Forwarding agent automatically in sales order level.
Regards,
Sunina

Hi Sunaina,
create a vendor with XK01 with the required Forwardng Agent. At the time of creating customer master record assing this FA. Now at the time of sales order creation this FA is defaulted automatically.
Incase you have multiple FA's then also you assign all of them to customer master partner tab with partner function FA.
During sales it will give you a pop up to select the required FA.
Make sure that partner function FA (or incase if you have created a new also) this is assigned to the account group of customer master you are using.
I hope this answers your query.

Automatic "Shipping Type" and "Forwarding Agent" from Route to Sales Order

Need some help...
When creating a Sales Order, the field "Shipping type" (inside Shipping tab of the Item Level) and the Forwarding Agent (Partners tab) should be automatically get from the configuration made for the Route applied in the order, via SAP Standard Functionality.
The Route is being automatically determined in the Sales Order and for this Route, there is a "Shipping Type" and a "Freight Agent" assigned.
Thanks for the help!

Hi Hrishi.
Actually, those informations have to be available in the delivery.
The idea is that the customer organizes all his operations (picking, packing, loading and tranportation processes) based on deliveries that will be transported by the same agent and using the same shipping type.
As I assigned an agent and a shipping type in the route, I expected to get these values automatically in the Sales Order, and consequently in the delivery.
Thanks for the help.
Regards.

Agent queue priority

Hi All!
I'm trying to setup the agent queue priority for agents that are in several queues. Example below. The list is the order they should get calls reguardless of hold time. our version is 7.0.1
Agent A
internal (10)
ETF (8)
Service (7)
Agent B
ETF (10)
Agent C
internal (10)
ETF(8)
Service (7)

What you are asking for would not be possible with the Priority feature, simply because you have too many CSQ's and groups of Agents to work with. Priorities are only effective with a single group of Agents and no more than two CSQ's.
E.g., Support Agents need to handle VIP callers before regular callers, and you have a VIP CSQ and a regular CSQ.
The system is hard coded to work in a First In First Out (FIFO) order, and you cannot change that. The oldest Contact, within each priority, is the next Contact in line to be delivered to an Agent.
You would even need to be careful using priorites, such that you don't inadvertently starve the regular CSQ, for time periods when there is a steady stream of VIP callers.
E.g., Anthony calls in and he's a regular user. John calls in after Anthony but is a VIP so he is bumped to the front of the line. While Anthony waits, Dan calls in an is also a VIP and bumps to the front. Anthony continues to wait and now Fred calls in an is a VIP as well. Then VIP Steve. Then VIP Carl. Etc. Anthony ends up hanging up because the wait is too long.

Forwarding agent payment settlement

Hi Experts,
Scenario: A delivery to a sales order is shipped through a forwarding agent(vendor).
Example
A = Company
B= Forwarding agent(Transporters)
C= Customer
Customer places the order with the company for 1 ton bags of cement. For shipping the cement Company takes the service of Forwarding agent(Transporters) to ship the bags to the customer .
Company invoice the customer and pays the freight to transporters.
As there is no shipment activated in the scenario
What I have done
1) I have created a partner function as Forwarding Agent in the customer master
2) And the sales cycle is running fine (Sales order-Delivery-Billing) partner function as Forwarding Agent flowing correctly
My question is how I will settle the forwarding agents payment of freight? (Which transaction codes involved)
Is it possible to settle the forwarding agent without activating the shipment and Transportation??
Need your help in this scenario
Regards,
Munirathnam Reddy

Hi,
As understand from your question, you donesnt want to add the freight value in net value in billing but at the same is required to post accounts also. In those cases create the freight conditon type as accrual condition type, at the time of billing this value not add in the net value but this value will post to the accounts. This value creates provisional liability in the books and based on this value company pay the amoount to vendor.
Rewareds if it helps

Hi,
Ideally speaking you have to enable shipment cost in order to settle the cost to the transporter.
However if you decide not to enable this, you have to do this by means of MM process.
The forwarding agent should be created as a vendor in MM.
Once in a month, you have to calculate the total freight to be paid to him by finding out the summation of the freight condition type in the sales invoices.
Now create a PO and mention a service (use a material number to represent the service). For this PO, you can trigger automatic GR/Confirmation of Service and creation of logistics invoice with the value of the freight charges.
Towards this LInvoice, you can settle the amount to the forwarding agent.
The second way can be by means of credit memos in SD
Create a Credit Memo request using forwarding agent as the payer (in this case you have to create the forwarding agent as a customer account group)
The CMR should have the value of the condition type as the frieght value of the invoice in which the frieght is charged to the customer
Based on this CMR, create the Credit memo and pay the money to the forwarding agent. So the cycle will look like this.
SO Creation by Customer (Freight charge will be included in SO pricing)
Delivery to customer
Invoice sent to customer (with freight value charged to the customer)
Payment received from customer
Raise a Credit Memo request using the forwarding agent as the payer
Include the freight valueof the invoice in teh credit memo
Create the Credit Memo with reference to the CMR
Now do the payment to the forwarding agent.

Freight charges based on rates per forwarding agents

Dear all,
i want to calculate freight chares based on fields plant and forwarding agent rates per EA.
I have a partner function CR in customer master. In procing table field SPDNR for forwarding agent is not allowed.
I tried to put LIFNR field but still not working... Kindly suggest me solution asap.
Regards,
Sandip

I think you can either add new fields to KOMP or KOMK (item or header) and populate these fields in userexit_pricing_prepare_tkomp or userexit_pricing_prepare_tkomk
in both order & invoice programs and then use these fields in condition tables.
OR you can determine your conditions based on plant and define calculation routine to calculate condiiton value based on forwarding agent

Commission to the Forwarding agent

Hello All,
I have a client requirment that they have 28 forwarding agents across the country which they treat as storage loction for storing the product only and they book the sales order on behalf of the stockists to the client directly, the ownership of stock will be with client untill it reaches to stockiest.
Client has to give them a commission on the basis of what number of sales have been done from this storage location.
Please suggest If I map this forwarding agents as storage locations in sap. then how will I provide commision to the storage locations.
Regards
Venkat

Hi,
Further to the question you asked on the design for the process, you could include a different pricing procedure for Consignment and include a condition type for (i.e. ZCOM) for commission and maintain the relevant condition records as necessary. Scales etc could also be used to further meet calculation of commission based on volume etc.
That should easily solve your problem.
Hope the above helps.
Thanks.

Hi,
Check this userexit in partner determination,you can write your required logic in this exit.
EXIT_SAPLV09A_004
Use this user exit to integrate your own check in a program, that runs before the partner is saved in the document.
