Reducing freight cost 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.

How to reduce the cost for this select script

(fyi -- cmd field has index with not null constraint).What does these cost numbers mean? Do you know what it means and what measurement unit is used for these costs? Will a cost of 2000 be fine? 1500? What specific number will make you sit back and think that the cost is now acceptable?
Or instead, do you not think it is more important to rather look at what the query does and why.. and then determine if there are methods to do that better and faster?
So let's look at what the query does. It uses a a LIKE predicate. This means that if an index is available, it cannot be used to find a specific indexed value... as the query is not sure what the value is. All that the query knows is what the first couple of characters are for the value.
So how would an index be used? Have you looked at the execution plan? Do you understand why the CBO made the decision it did?
Now - how do you expect the CBO to find the relevant rows any faster? The index benefits the query how? As the CBO cannot put the index to any better use than what it is already doing, what other options are there? Can alternative indexing or data structures be considered? Can parallel processing be used?
These questions are intended to make you analyse the problem - and understand the problem. That is always the 1st step.. solving the problem only comes after this 1st step.

Abnormal cost for GR material

Dear Experts,
We have two production orders for which GR posted on the same date . The header material R1 has the same material R1 as component . The production order header material is maintained in kgs and the component in MT ( Rs 50 / kg ). But while doing GR for one production order the value of the material become abnormal ( Rs 15000 / kg ) while the other production order it is correct ( Rs 55 / kg ) . The actual cost of issued material and the activity costs are correct for both the orders. Please advice how to proceed.

Pijush,
Since the confirmation is not reflected in the backend, but you are able to do the same in SRM, can you confirm if you have configured message type MBGMCR as outbound (from SRM to ECC) under partner profile in SRM and distributed the same?

Sales order costing for Configured Material (Material Variant Not KMAT Mat)

Hi All
For a Configured Material (Variant) (Not KMAT Material), which is having Std price costed.
But if we create a Sales Order for the Configured Material, what options are availale to Execute Sales order costing and take the sales order value to COGS during Delivery.
The reason being Client wants to Cost BOM items are price which is different from the Price used in Std cost estimate due to Price Volatility.
I can understand we can do this in KMAT, but not sure how to do in Conifgured material. We can execute sales order costing and get Statistical cost value in EK02/EK01, but how to get this value posted during PGI..?
Thanks
Aravind

Hi Ajay
Even if i maintain M in Valuation filed, my Material Variant HALB material is already having standard cost in its material master and it is picking the std cost during PGI Delivery and hitting COGS A/c.
Now how to get my sales order costing to real and post my sales order costing value to GI..this is the client requirement.
Due some complication KMAT is not used and logistics go with Material Variant

Cost for adding material to iTunes store and podcasting

Does anyone know how much it cost to podcast or to sell your own your own material in the iTunes Store. For example, does iTunes receive a certain amount of commision from each sell that you make.

The iTunes Store receives a percentage of all sales of music. Contact Apple via their web page for iTunes Marketing.
They’ve reportedly been swamped with requests, so don’t be surprised if you don’t hear back from them soon or indeed ever. If you don't hear from them, you might want to consider signing up with an indie label or marketing service that already has a relationship. In another post, an Apple employee said that there are 600 already, including CD Baby and IODA. A new service that seems promising if true is TuneCore.
There is no fee for Apple listing your podcasts. For information, see this web page.

SAP allows release of Standard Cost for Material with Moving Average Price

Hi
We set our Raw Material to use Moving Average Price (V) and price determination 2 (single level). And we activated material ledger.
During mass calculation of standard cost (CK40N), If user accidentally forgot to restrict the Raw Material for being included in calculation, the system calculate standard cost anyway, even though I set it as Moving Average Price. And user is able to release it too without any problem.
Why the system does not restrict it? By giving error maybe. Although as for now I can not find the wrong effect from releasing standard cost for MAP material, by your experience, is there any side effect that I should be aware of?
Thanks

CK40n is mass release of all materials. The release is not dependent on price indicator of the material in the master. It will calculate standard cost of all the materials.
Releasing standard cost estimate of raw materials does not have any side effect as long your calculation is based on moving average price.

Freight cost condition for the whole purchase order (Header relation)

Maybe you could help me out with the following difficulty regarding freight costs for the whole purchase orders from the mass maintenance transaction MEK1 for pricing conditions.
I try to have one freight condition for the whole purchase order.
For instance, I maintained in the transaction MEK1 for the condition FRA1 the key combination vendor and purchasing organization (table 44) and entered an absolute value of X EUR.
Unfortunately this condition will not pulled as header costs in the purchase order, because I would have had defined an access sequence in the condition type, but this is not allowed for header conditions in general.
Do you have any workaround to maintain an item condition, which works like a header condition, so that I am allowed to have an access sequence and be able to maintain MEK1?
Any comments and help are very welcome.
Many thanks in advance
Sabrina

Hi,
Fright and discount conditions are called supplement conditon type and they are always matained with main condition type.
Please check PB00 condition type in m/06 transaction. You will find pricing procedure assinged as RM0002 to PB00 condtion type.
So you can maintain fra1 and other supplement condtions in main condtion only in MEk1 trasnaction.
By selecting the line item and then shift + F7 you can maintain fright or discount condtions for PB00 condition types with out having access sequence for supplement condtion types.

Shpmnt Freight Cost varies(extra/short material)

Hello,
We have recently implemented Shipment freight cost for Inbound Shipments. Shipment cost is calulated based on weight.
The issue we are facing is:
If In an Inbd/delivery there are two HU and each having 100 cartons(total shipment 200 cartons) and weight is 1000Kg per HU, so assmue total cost of the entire shipment (two HUs) is 2000 USD.
Shipment cost document is created and enter the cost as 2000 USD for entire shipment.
Now While PGR for first HU (inbound delivery) we found that qty is 110 car inplace of 100 cartons,
System calculate the Freight cost as 1100 USD and while PGR of the 2nd HU(inbound delivery) we found the correct qty 100 cartons and system calculate the freight cost as 1000 USD.
The problem is actual shipment cost is 2000 USD whereas system is calculating 2100 USD.....
Has anybody this issue earlier, please share your experience....
Regards,
JPS

Hi Michela,
This is possible by adding one more condition type with blank condition category and negative value in plus/minus field.
please refer the following wiki which gives step by step configuration.
Appreciate if it is useful

Costing Run for Configurable Material

Hi,
When I try to run costing run CK40N for KMAT material, I am geting information "No materials selected" for the 'selection' flow-step.
Below is the Error description.
No materials selected
Message no. CK277
Diagnosis
Due to the costing variant used, no materials could be selected for the cost estimate.
System Response
No materials were selected.
Procedure
1. First, check that the materials you want to cost exist.
2. Then go into Customizing and check the costing variant, the reference variant, and the transfer control. If the plant changes, a suitable transfer strategy must be entered in the transfer control belonging to the reference variant.
Thanks in Advance,
Shiva

hi Shiva,
It is not possible to do the cost calculation for configurable materials in CK40N or CK11N.
To do the product costing it is mainly required the BOM and Routing, but in case of configurable materials the BOM and Routing are not fixed(here Super BOM/Super Routing are used with valid object dependencies which may result in "n" number of material variants)
To do the costing for configurable material you can use t code - CU50 (configuration simulation)
Here in CU50 you can select the characteristics values which ultimately selects the valid BOM and Routing required for variant production and do the costing and check.
Please check

Costing run for a material with alternative BOM

Hi Friends,
My requirement is to have product costing for a material with 3 different BOMs, in CK11N i can change the alternative BOM number to have costing run for 3 differesnt boms, but in ck24 how to proceed, My client requirement is such that the standard price should be the average price of the costing run from 3 different boms, and they are not interested in manual price change in MR21
Regards,
Arun Kumar R V

Hi Arun,
You can have a Standard cost estimate based on only one of the alternative BOM and Routing. This alternative is selected based on the business ie., whichever alternative is generally used in production frequently. This will be the std cost and whenever you do the production using the other alternatives, the difference in cost will be captured as Variance.
There is no option of having average or cost estimate for each alternative at the same time.
There is absolutely no use in maintaining price in MR21 for an in house produced material, since during Prod Order process the planned costs will be arrived at based on the quantity structure of BOM & Route only.

Costing run for the material in Physical distribution Plant

Hi experts,
There's a material both creates in productoin plant 1000 & physical distribution plant 1999. (same material number)
However, BOM & routing only create in prodution plant 1000.
How do we copy BOM & routing (in prodution plant) for the material creates in Physical distribution Plant and excute costing run for it? (we need to excute costing run every month, so standard cost for the material in productoin plant 1000 & physical distribution plant 1999 needs to be the same every month.)
Thanks in advance.

HI AO
1. There is no standard feature to copy the BOM/Routing from Plant 1 to 2...
While creating in PLant 2, you can give the reference of Plant 1.. Or you can use some BAPIs to do the same
2. If you want same std cost in Plant 2 as in Plant 1, then easier way would be to create a Special Procurement Key and assign the same in Material master - Costing View of Plant 2 (1999)
Follow the steps below
1. Go to OMD9
2. Click on New entries: Enter your Plant = Plant 2 (receiver plant) "SP Pr Type" = Z1 and Proc Type = F;
3. Under Special Procurement Secrion
Enter U as special procurement and Plant 1 in the Plant Field (Transferring plant)
4. Save this entry, and in Mat Master of Plant 2, specify Z1 as Special proc key in Costing view (NOT MRP VIEW)
5. Run CK11N in Plant 2... and release from CK24

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

manOO

Add freight cost in a cross company code scenario using a costing sheet

Dear Forum,
I will like to add freight cost to a material using a costing sheet. The freight percentage is very easy to add and works fine when the cost is added in the company code costing. My problems start when I want to add the freight in the cross-company code costing. I want to setup a cross-company code costing where the freight cost is added to the material in the buying company code and not on the selling company code. The cross-company code costing is setup using special procurement costing keys.
In below costing (CK11N) the procurement costing key is not used.
From the itemization it is shown that purchase info.record 5300067643 is read and the price of 12,97 is determined. There is added 10% in freight coming from the costing sheet.
The freight is shown in the cost component structure as well.
The special procurement type is now changed from ‘20’ to ‘AT´ on the MRP2 screen in the material master. The procurement is now pointing to an internal plant called ‘DCN’.
The costing of material 105050 is now repeated. I get the expected result from changing the procurement key, as I can now see the material is sourced from plant ‘DCN’. DCN is sourcing the material from BJ07, but that is not relevant for the example.
If I now look at the itemization again on the costing in BGA1 I now see that the price is not coming from the info.record. It is the costing in DCN that is used.
I will still like to add the freight cost in BGA1.
How do I add freight cost in BGA1 when I at the same time want to have the costing to be taken from plant DCN?
Please let me know if you need additional information on the customizing setup of the system.
Best regards,
Kim Hjorth Poulsen

Hi Srinu,
Thank You for a prompt feedback.
I have tried to follow Your advise. The special procurement costing key is customized like below.
I have updated the special procurement costing key on the costing 1 view of the material master. When costing the material it is using the special procurement key. This can be seen from the qty. structure tab in CK11N.
It is also costing cross company as intended.
The itemization looks like below.
and the cost component structure looks like below.
Unfortunately the freight is not added in the costing in BGA1.
I noticed that when the costing is made without special procurement key the costing sheet used in the costing is for material components. If the costing is made with the special procurement keys the costing sheet used is for finished and semi-finished materials. The customizing in both of the costing sheets are the same, but only when costing is without the special procurement keys the freight is added.
So unfornutely Your suggestion did not solve the problem.
Best regards,
Kim
