Hi,
Apology, I am not clear what do you require from your reply message about those items you have listed. Did you want to understand what they are or did you want to know what configuration settings to maintain for those? Those settings are dependent on your requirements.
1) Cost Distribution - this settings explains the different method possible for apportionment of the cost during settlement (Transfer to CO) - which you can select from Shipment Cost Item, Delivery or Delivery Items.
2) Acct. Assignment Cat. - It allows you to settle the cost to various accounts - used in account determination in tcode OBYC (GBB - > VBR). Where those are setup, the desired account is determined in the shipment cost document.
3) Origin of CO - This is used to determine where the origin of the CO object should be determined from. The selection provides you various sequences, which you can possibly use. It is possible directly through a G/L Account, through the sequence of Delivery, then if not found, it will determine from Order and finally through the sequence of Delivery, Order and G/L Account.
4) Relevant for settlement - In this case, depending on your requirement you can consider the option of settling through a G/L account or through the delivery costs method (which is detailed in "a" and "b" below). Otherwise, the settings commonly used is "X".
And, I am not sure what is your real intention here, but definitely you can generate PO to forwarding agent simultaneously, and then perform MIRO against the forwarding agent/shipment cost document/PO. It depends on your requirement, and in some instances, a company can have an agreement with the customer or vendor that the transportation cost is to be borne by them along with the materials procured or sold.
Hence, there are three possible methods the shipment cost can be handled:
a) The cost is to be included in the PO for the material (which I have just explained above)
b) The cost is to be included in the Billing document for the customer (in the case of Sales scenario)
c) The cost is to be handled separately in a shipment cost document --> Freight PO --> Payment to Forwarding Agent (which is the common practice by many).
Hope the above helps.
Thanks.

Loading freight cost to inventory at the time of GR

Dear All
When i am not using LE then i do have process where i will be having a condition type of freight at STO type , I shall do delivery(VL10D) against that PO number, PGI and at the time of GR at receiving plant that freight will get uploaded to material which is having price control " V ". Now as I am using LE my freight will be calculated at VI01(freight cost calculation) , there will not be any condition type of freight at PO level . Now I want that(VI01) freight to get uploaded on material .That means some how my VI01 document will be linked to PO and I guess this is possible by doing configuration at " Shipment Cost Item Categories " .Please provide me solution if this can be done or give me any other alternate . I am running late so please do help me.

The issue is resoleved.
We can load freight cost using LE on inventory in inbound shipment as well as in STO.
Config steps are :
1. Settlement rel. = A relevant for settlement (delivery costs) in T_56
2. In pricing schema of PO : condition catagory shud be " delivery relevent "
3. check "accurals" check box and "copy shipment cost" check in condition type .
4. Make condition type manual at PO level .Important to note the value of this condition type at the time of PO creation should be blank.
5. After shipment cost calculation check the shipment status .it shud b " C ".
6. At MIGO check ur accounting doc

Subcontract Process:Transport/Freight Cost should not be added to Inventory

Hi,
I am following subcontract process; the involvement of transport/freight cost should not be added to the inventory account during Goods Receipt (MIG0).
Regards,
Biju K

Hi BIjay,
You may try this
1. New condition type to be created by copying the standard condition type FRA1/FRB1/FRC1
New condition type ZFR1 created by copying FRA1 - M/06.Accrual flagged in this condition type same as FRA1 and Condition category of the new condition type should be Blank and maintain X-Negative value in the plus/minus field. Accrual must be flagged.
2. New account key ZR1 created
OLME -- >conditions -- >Define pricing Determination process -- >Define Transaction/Event keys
3. Assign this condition type to pricing procedure - M/08 .Also assign transaction key ZR1 .
80 1 FRA1 Freight % 70 X FR1
80 2 ZRA1 Freight in spl GL 70 X FRE ZR1
4.GL account maintained in OBYC for this new account key -ZR1
Maintain same conditions for FRA1 and ZFR1.
5. Goods receipt debits freight amount to separate account
Hope Help U !

Free goods but want to freight cost updation upon GR

Hi,
Scenario:
I have a PO with 20 line items and header freight cost.
There are few more items in PO which are ticked as free goods.
There is a stock of those materials with certain MAP.
Freight condition has been configured as vendor GR so that it gets loaded on materials upon GR.
Requirement is that
Upon GR of this PO,MAPshould get updated with the freight cost for those materials also which have been marked as free goods.
How this can be achieved ?
Regards,
manOO

Hi Rang,
Thanks for the feedback.However service PO is out of scope as client do not want to go for servicees.
I could not understand your suggestion
<u>you give PO to frieght vendor for freight value & in remarks you mention reciving as FREE GOODS from vendor xxxxx & do GR load cost to material & pay to freight vendor. (this is not advisible, but one solution for your problem).</u>
I have to receive one material via purchase order as a free item but I need to pay vendor for the freight charges that will be incurred to ship this item along with all the other items in the same PO.
Can you please explain me further as what you mean to say in your post.
I should be able to load these freight cost on all the materials in PO including the material with 'free' indiactor.
In short upon GR MAP should affect with freight cost as there will not be value addition of the material since received as free.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance

Reducing the Freight cost on material value for undelivered material

Hi Experts,
Summary : The material supplier vendor needs to be paid for full quantity of material. The freight transport is allowed an under tolearance of 0.5% on the material to be supplied. If the delivered material quantity breaches the 0.5% under tolerance then amount at 1.5 times the cost of material for the shortage is to be deducted from the transporter. A dummy GR will have to be prepared for the undelivered quantity for which we do not want the freight cost to be loaded. The details scenario is mentioned below :-
We have to make a Purchase Order with material code say ABC for procured of some material. Suppose we make a Purchase Order for 100 nos. at a Unit Price of Say Rs. 10/- for Material Code ABC on say Vendor M/s XYZ. A freight condition is maintained in the Conditions Tab and suppose the Freight is Rs. 10 per unit of the material.
While preparing the Goods Receipt through MIGO, in the Freight Tab we select say freight vendor say M/s PQR against the freight condition and post the goods receipt.
While doing Invoice Processing in MIRO, when we enter the combination of Purchase Order and Planned Delivery Cost the system will populate the vendor codes of both the supplier of material and the transporter. On selecting the transporter the freight amount will populate against which the invoice of the tranporter can be processed.
In the Vendor Master of M/s XYZ GR-Based Invoice Verification is activated.
The vendor is allowed an under tolerance of 0.5% (i.e. the vendor should deliver at least 99.50 nos. of the Purchase Order). If the vendor delivers 99.50 or more then there will be no deduction in the freight charges.
But suppose the vendor delivers only 99.4 nos. of the quantity. Then we will prepare the GRIR for 99.4 nos.only. But while processing the MIRO we need to deduct 1.5 times the value of the material from the freight amount for the shortshipped quantity, i.e.
0.1 no (99.5 u2013 99.4) X Rs. 10/- * 1.5 = Rs. 1.5 are to be deducted from the final payment from the freight amount of the transporter.
The material supplier will have to be paid in full 100 nos. of quantity and will raise an invoice for 100 nos. A dummy GRIR for the 0.6 nos. of undelivered material will have to be prepared for processing the invoice for the 100 nos. of the material supplier and a dummy issue for 0.6 nos. of undelivered material will be prepared to remove them from the system.
Hence the freight cost for this 0.6 nos. of undelivered material will also go into the cost of the material and increase the MAP by that amount. Also the goods issue Cost will also have the effect of the freight cost.
We do not want to load the freight cost for the undelivered material in the value of the material.
Can any one please suggest a solution for the same.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
A PO Will be raised for full quantity of material say 100 nos.
The material supplier vendor needs to be paid for full quantity of material.
A freight vendor is maintained at the time of GR for material against the freight condition maintained in the Po.
The freight vendor facilitates the delivery of the material from the vendor to the purchaser for which he is given an under tolerance limit of 0.5%. Any delivery below this tolerance limit, freight amount to the effect of 1.5 times the per unit rate of material x short fall below 0.5% tolerance will be deducted from the freight amount.
A dummy grir will have to be prepared for the short delivered quantity for processing the invoice for the full quantity of the purchase order, as the vendor is going to raise the invoice for full purchase order quantity. The client does not want to load the freight cost of the undelivered quantity on the material value as it will wrongly show the MAP of the material. This shortshipped material will be issued to remove it from the system and the stock will remain for the delivered quantity only. The vendor is subject to gr based invoice verification.
Please suggest a solution.
Thanks in advance.

LOADING ADDITIONAL COSTS (change matches revenue cost of goods in warehouse

Subject: LOADING ADDITIONAL COSTS (change matches revenue cost of goods in warehouse and not accounting for the year 2008)
Problem:
we must add the cost of goods of the raw material (for which was made a check invoice) of the costs, which are arising and charged by different suppliers (transport, freight, insurance, etc. ..). These are already included in FI with fb60.
The result should be:
- From the consignment of goods entering, add (only in Warehouse (STOCK), NOT IN ACCOUNTING ') cost accessory
- Do not change the quantity
- Having the total cost of stock
- Exploiting the average cost to FIFO must consider the total cost after additional adjustment
Example:                                                                                data
ME21N: purchaise order No. 321 = article 1000kg a price of u20AC / kg 2.30               01/07/2008
MIGO: goods receipt PO confirms price quantity x (u20AC 23,000) batch 298                      07/07/2008
MIRO(enter incoming invoice): Check invoice OK per (u20AC 23,000) batch 298           07/08/2008
Invoices received for costs Accessories:                                                                08/08/2008
FB60: transportation bill on all'purchaise order above cost u20AC / 0.11 kg
0.11 * 1000kg = 110 recorded in cost and accounting of stock.
In accounting, the cost has been reported, in warehouse I need to reverse (add) u20AC / kg to 0.11 initial cost of u20AC / 2.30 kg without adjustments in general accounting, but only in warehouse value and not in the quantity.
So in the end I should have:
batch n° 298 - kg 1000 at a cost of u20AC 2.41 (2.30 +0.11) for the year 2008. How should I do?
thanks

Thomas,
I presume that your client has activated 'Revenue Recognition' component in SAP.
If your client has already activated the RR component, they may be aware that the activation is unreversible.
Recognition of costs in a deferred revenue scenario requires some customization effort but definitely do-able. It is not falling within standard SAP.
I worked on scope of one such project but it did not happen unfortunately.
Can you please post your regular updates in this forum?
All the best.
Thanks

Inbound Logistics: What are the best options to capture freight costs?

We attempted to implement a freight payables solution which was built on Inbound Deliveries> Inbound Shipments> Inbound Shipment Cost Documents. The PO line items were flagged with a conf.control key which made the above inbound documents relevant.
Very long story short, we had to remove this functionality because of two major issues:
1.     The Inbound Deliveries were created with incorrect quantities some of the time. When the Inbound Deliveries were created with incorrect quantity those errors caused major problems (e.g., over accrual of freight cost to the tune of several millions of dollars!!!).
2.     Also, when the Inbound Deliveries were created with incorrect quantity MRP went berserk (e.g., when the IB delivery has the wrong quantity that shows up in MD04 and the planners are left scratching their heads wondering why the supplier is shipping so much or so little).
I wonu2019t get into the details of how the Inbound Deliveries were being created but suffice to say they were manually entered by the supplier without the benefit of an EDI transaction- it was more of a manual entry- hence the data accuracy problem.
The point of this post is to gain feedback from other customers who have implemented an inbound freight payables solution with success & understand what processes were used to make your project successful.
For example, if I had a u201Cwish listu201D Iu2019d request the following:
1.     The IB delivery document type Iu2019d like to use should be non-MRP relevant. This will eliminate the confusion that occurred when planners run MD04 and see all of the shipment notifications. Also, if the MIGO_GR transaction is used to receive the POu2019s, they will see the quantities on the PO, not on the IB delivery. This would be good for us from a business continuity stand point. However, if the IB delivery is not MRP relevant, than your GR does not accrue the freight cost defined on the SCD which short circuits the entire point of having these documents.
u2022     Q: Have you had any success implementing an IB freight solution with minimum impact to planning / inventory / operations?
2.     As mentioned above, the data accuracy of the IB delivery was problematic. Because of this issue we have changed our thinking so that we would require a EDI ASN to be sent from our supplier to our SAP system. Using EDI we feel that greater accuracy would be obtained since the quantities defined would map to what is being picked or at least aligned with what we would expect to be invoiced for. The problem is we donu2019t know how EDI capable our suppliers are.
u2022     Q: Has anyone had success implementing this with your suppliers on a large scale?
3.     Are there other inbound freight payment solutions that Iu2019m not thinking about u2013 custom or other that you have implemented & can share some of the specifics about? Iu2019d enjoy hearing about them. Since we are re-thinking what we implemented Iu2019m open to any suggestions.
Thanks so much for your time!
Rich Wortmann

Chandra,
Thank you for your reply. I'm aware of the freight condition approach you suggest & the ability to define the carrier in the freight condition.
We explored this functionality in the past. The problem/limitations we've experienced were as follows:
1. Essentially you have to know your freight cost & the carrier by PO line item at the time the PO is created. Both of these variables we typically cannot predict in our environment.
2. We have a lot of situations where the PO is considered a u201Cblanketu201D where it will remain open for a month up to a year. Knowing the entire freight cost for these PO's once they are created is impossible to predict so to support the freight conditions we would have to change our business process which would be a big effort for our organization.
3. Our suppliers ship product based on multiple PO's / PO lines, again it is impossible to predict what the per unit freight cost would be at the time a PO is generated.
These factors are what led us to the IB delivery solution which handles each one of these scenarios quite well provided you have good data when the IB delivery is created.
Regarding your second post: Thanks! This information is helpful.
Sincerely,
Rich Wortmann

Freight Cost in Stock Transport Order

Hello:
We have requirement where we want to include freight charges into inventory valuation of material in receiving plant of stock transport order. Is it possible using shipment cost document of LE-TRA module?
If yes, How can I do it??
Also, I want have different pricing conditions like washing charge, Demurrage etc. These pricing conditions are included in pricing procedure. Can I post value of these conditions in different G/L accounts? If Yes then How??
Also I want to crate a multi dimensional freight rate condition using Distance, Weight. How can I do this?
I will really appreciate your response or any docs you have on this subject.

Hi dev,
We did something similar last week. To charge the freight cost to the receiving party we did a manual service entry sheet for that.
We created a separate Po with Transport vendor and the receiving plant and account type is Z shipment costing and service item description as intercompany freight.
You will specify the limit of the amount here, and specify the G/L account here. Now create the service entry sheet withthe freight amount and settle.
I think you can follow the similar thing with additional lines for your requirement for other charges.
Since we want let the receiving plant pay the freight we didn't create the shipment cost document of LE-TRA.
Let see if any other suggestions comes.

ratna

Report on Shipment/Freight Costs

Dear Forum,
We are following the process whereby the Shipment/Freight costs are included in the POs as conditions. At the time of Goods Receipt, as per the standard procedure, the Shipment/Freight Costs are loaded on to the materal costs of the Inventories received. Now there is a requirement to monitor the Shipment/Freight Costs and a report is required to be generated which would give the material costs as well as the Shipment/Freight costs. How can we generate the same?
Your help would be highly appreciated.

You can use MB51(Amount in LC,101 mvmt type) for material cost.
Find shipment / freight cost using FBL3N report for required g/l account.

Purchase Order's Freight cost

Dear All,
I'm using SAP B1 2007B SL 0 PL 15. I have problems with the Freight cost on the distribution rule. It will not store the store or update the distribution rule code in PO, GR & Invoice. I have to manually tag the distribution rule code in the journal entry after the Invoices are posted. Does anyone face this problem or know how to solve this?

Freight Cost while Goods Receipt in STO

Dear Experts,
In SAP standard STO process, freight cost calculated while Material issued against STO ( 351/641 movement).
Is there any way possible to calculate the freight at the time of goods receipt instead of at the time of Goods Issue..
Thanks in Advance.

Why do you want it at the time of GR?
Anyways, you can not see or change the freight amount in MIGO. And I don't think there is any other way to post the freight amount other than 351/641 goods issue.

PO-Freight cost (header, diff currency with items) not distributed when GR

Dear Gurus,
I've one PO with freight cost at header level (1000 VND). In the PO, this freight amount shown to be distributed successfully to line item (value base, line item 1 is 300 VND, line item 2 is 700 VND). But when doing GR, the freight cost of each line item is NOT distributed but equals the total freight amount (line item 1 is 1000 VND, line item 2 is 1000 VND).
In this PO, vendor is international vendor, goods in USD. Freight cost is in local currency (VND)
The configuration for this freight cost condition is at Header level, Group Condition ticked; Calculation type: Fixed Amount; Scale Basis: Value. When the currency of freight cost and goods are the same (all in USD), I have no error as above.
Please help to solve this issue.
Thanks.

Post freight cost to a different a GL account during 411-K for consignment PO Process

We are planning to implement PO consignment for one of the client.
The scenario is, client pays the freight cost to the supplier in advance upon receipt of consignment stock .When consignment stock is moved to own stock (411k), during the movement of the stock we need to create two accounting entries one for the material cost and the other for freight cost such that the freight can be adjusted with advance paid freight cost. Freight cost can be settled manually with another PO but the requirement is moving average price of the material should include the cost of material and freight cost .
For an example if the material cost is $100(PB00) and freight cost is $10(FAR1 - 10%), during 411k it should create two entries one for material cost($100) and the other for freight cost($10) which can be adjusted manually.
We tried by adding freight condition (FRA1) in consignment info record along with PB00 –Gross price and in this case during 411k it is summing both the prices($110) and posting to one GL account and the same settles during MRKO but what we are looking for is how we can split this into $100 and $10 .
I know standard SAP does not support this this during 411k.
I want to know if there is any User exit, pricing procedure, routines, etc... Or any other way that can be used to achieve this requirement. Appreciate more detailed answer

Hi,
   As you know, currently the delivery cost are not supported in consignment and pipeline settlement. The system design is explained in the note: 208555 - MB11 Delivery costs for pipeline and consignment.
   If you want delivery cost in consignment, you have to go for development. There should be additional entry for delivery costs in RKWA table. I am not sure about the feasibility, but still would like to share the below points:
   For creating additional entry in the accounting document while doing MB1B / MB11, you may check the BADI AC_DOCUMENT.
   You may refer the note: 165647 - Documentation: Enhancement RMVKON00 (MM-IV) which explains some enhancements related to consignment settlement.

MIRO - Credit memo considering freight costs

Dear friends ,
We need to process a Goods Return to the vendor, but the goods has additional costs like Freight.
So we are doing the reversal process as follow:
MIRO - Credit memo
=> but when we process the credit memo the System brought together the freight costs.
we need to return but not remove the freight costs from the material cost.
MIGO movement 122.
=> here everything is ok.
Question:
How treat that situation where we need to keep the freight costs in the material account ?
Best regards,
Alessandro

hi
in that case, in miro header, there is a tab "details" here u have a option to enter unplanned dlvy cost.. u can enter ur unplanned dkvy cost.
