Settlement of shipment cost

Hi
i am trying to settle cost of a shipment against a vendor .The vendor master has been marked as relevant for auto PO generation .,automatic GR and IV and evaluated receipt settlement .
When trying to settle cost it is given error that PO could not be created as TAX code was not assigned
When I try to enter tax in TAX tab it is completely grayed out .
I have checked settings but cannot find which setting should I change .
Can anyone please suggest a solution for this problem
Thanks and Regards

Hi Sridhar
We have created TAX code and assigned it to the GL but during creation of shipment cost document the tax code is not being automatically picked up by the system
For example to G/L 40400001 tax code A0 has been assigned.During shipment cost processing the G/L is being determined but tax code is not
Can you please suggest me what should be done for the system to automatically picked up because I cannot type tax code manually in the TAX tab at item level as it is grayed out
Thanks and Regards

Service Entry Sheet in ECC 6.0 shipment costing security object?

Does anyone know what security object is being checked during service entry sheet creation? When I run the shipment cost create process in foreground (RV56TRSL) VI04, the program creates and settles the shipment cost, but in background only the shipment cost doc creates the settlement remains open (status A) and I get a message:
You have no authorization for this transaction with movement type 101
My assumption is a different object is being called in background versus foreground but my traces are not showing me anything useful.
thank you

Shipment settlement in ECC 6.0 requires the users to have some version of the MIGO object to prefrom the goods movement. this is a change from 4.7 and prior.

Shipment cost issue

Dear all,
I want to do Stock transfer process between 2 company codes, and Transpotartion Planning Point is Receving CCode.
So, when i create Shipment cost, there is an error:
Company codes are different: Delievery 2620/0080000228 shipment 6620/0000001188
Message no. VY012
Diagnosis
A delivery is assigned to a different company code than the shipment to be calculated.
This is not allowed if the costs are to be distributed at the level of delivery or delivery item.
System Response
Account assignment and settlement is not possible for this shipment cost item.
Procedure
If you want to carry out settlement for this shipment, then the costs can only be carried out at the shipment cost item level.
Delete the shipment cost item.
Create a new shipment cost item for this shipment or shipment stage with another shipment cost item category.
Im Customizing, cost apportionment 'A' should be entered for this category.
Ofcouse i know the problem.
In the Configuration for Item Category - Settlement, i set:
Cost dist.: C Delivery item, ... Origin CO: C Sequence: Delivery, order, G/L account
If i change to value A - Shipment cost item, it'll be OK. But in other client, value C is OK.
Pls tell me what is wrong?
Thanks alot,

Hi Quang,
The company check is standard in the shipment costing in SAP.
However, if cross-company settlement for shipment costing is required, then you would need to look into the following SAP Note:
[SAP Note 963452|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=963452]
[SAP Note 699343|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=699343]
The error message resulting from the check would need to be surpressed, and standard system modification would be required to achieve cross-company shipment costing.
Please be informed that this modification would not be supported by SAP. You may want to check with ThanhCT on this.
Hope the above helps.
Thanks.

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:

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.

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.

Shipment Cost settlement to multiple vendors

Hi team,
When we are calculating shipment cost, with reference to outbound shipments, we have to get the multiple vendors like freight cost settlement to one vendor and insurance will be to the other vendor.
How do we need to map this requirement? We are using SD route.
Regards
Venkat Ramana

Hi Venkat,
If different service agents exist in the shipment cost documents, a
corresponding number of condition lines (with value 0) must be
specified in the purchase order item. These can always belong to the
same condition type (in schema 'Manual') or also to different
condition types (not 'Manual'):
a) Manual condition lines: If the condition type in the schema of
    the purchase order is marked as 'manual', the condition type must
    be created (with value 0) in the purchase order item before the
    goods receipt. If delivery costs are expected from different
    service agents, several non-valuated entries must be generated
    for this condition type. If more condition lines exist than
    required, these are then no longer taken into account. If
    condition lines are missing, the last service agents are not
    settled.
    - Advantage: You only have to define one condition type for the
    delivery costs.
    - Disadvantage: Each purchase order must be processed manually
    before the goods receipt.
b) Automatic condition lines: If the condition lines are to be
    generated automatically for the delivery costs (the condition
    type is not flagged as 'Manual' in the schema), the schema must
    have enough condition types to settle several service agents. If
    more condition lines exist than required, these are then no
    longer taken into account. If condition lines are missing, the
    last service agents are not settled.
    - Advantage: The goods receipt can be carried out without manual
    preparation beforehand in the purchase order.
    - Disadvantage: You must define identical condition types with different names.

Outbound delivery deletion with shipment cost settled.

Dears
     I have one question about how to delete one outbound delivery which has one shipment document inside.
Scenarios like:
     we do normal sales order -> outbound delivery -> Picking -> Loading -> PGI -> invoice. and also from outbound delivery to shipment document and shipment cost settled. that means everything is done.
   But next month, the customer said they do not need such goods, they want to return all and take money back. so we need to cancel billing , PGI , and warehouse transactions. as you know , the previous month already been closed. we could not cancel shipment cost settlement . actually, we do not need to cancel it because the shipment is done by 3rd party partner. we need pay the transportation cost.
the problem, is when I use VL02n to delete outbound delivery item, it is not allowed because in document flow, there is one shipment document could not be deleted. but this outbound delivery status is OPEN, it always books some items which we will never delivery.
     is there one can help me about how to delete outbound delivery or how to close it to avoid stock booking ( ATP)?
thanks
jerry W.

hello Jürgen L
thanks for your answer. I fully agree with you. it is just our business user ( specially from warehouse) want to make process simple, so then use this way to cancel billing and PGI, then delete delivery lines. I will push them to use standard process .
thanks again.

Shipment Cost - ERS (Evaluated receipt settlement)

Hi,
We are using Shipment cost documents to calculate the customer freight.
In shipment cost document, we need to transfer the amount to accounting.
In that case system will create PO automatically. This is all good.
Now, We need to activate ERS for all the vendors, in that case when we transfer the shipment costs to accounting, system is asking to enter Tax code.
We are not using Tax determination at all in shipment cost document.
Can't we use ERS without Tax code?
Where does this Tax code come from into shipment costing document? is it through Tax determination condition technique?
is there any way we can deactivate Tax code?
Please suggest.
Thanks.

Hi Sandra,
For such issues there is a pro-active approach by way of tolerances in MM-LIV. If your tolerances are configured properly, the system won't go so far as posting an invoice in ERS. It would show you a red flag by raising an exception.
ERS as a functionality entirely depends on the PO prices. There is no check as in the conventional LIV. Thus, I am afraid you won't have an audit trail straightforward.
Regards,
Vishal.

Any UserExit while Posting Shipment cost?

Dear All,
SD transportation/shipment cost integration with MM-Account Payable.
Process:
1. VA01 - create sales order
2. VL01n - create Delivery
3. VL02n - PGI
4. VT01n - create Shipment
5. VI01 - create shipment cost doc.
Here PO will get generated automatically. For that PO, a service entry sheet is created for every L.R no given by Transport vendor. Then MIRO is posted for the service entry sheet.Payment is done against that.
But my client's requirement is that normally transporter will have contract with the company. Transporters supply to various Customer place and raises the bill for every L.R no.
In case of Transporteru2019s freight bills settlement, vendor invoice posting should be L.R no wise which is captured in Shipment
L.R no wise tracking is required for Transporteru2019s payment.
I understand that there is no SAP STD integration of LR number of shipment doc with vendor Incoming Invoice posting. But Vendor invoice can be posted for multiple POs.
When shipment document is created, the system will generate PO automatically in the background. L.R number is to be captured and should be passed on to PO doc through USER EXIT.
Hence I request you to kindly reply USER EXIT available for Shipment doc. so that the customization (development) can be done in transporteru2019s (vendor) payment L.R No. wise.
Please reply your view in this regard.

Anbu

LE-TRA Shipment costs as inbound delivery costs, goods receipt

Hello gurus:
We are facing the following scenario, regarding inbound transportation.
We plan our shipment document and shipment costs, and they feature several items. Each of those items represent a shipping service, which in certain cases be taken on different countries by the same service agent.
That is, we have a service X on country A, with tax indicator 1, and service Y on country B, with tax indicator 2.
Both services would need to be transferred as delivery costs to the purchase order.
According to note 427944, shipment cost value is cumulated by service agent., so that it looks impossible to get the values broken up to the purchase order, which would be the first step to subsequently get the right tax indicators for each item of the shipment.
Even using different condition types on the shipment cost document, system cumulates by service agent and transfers to the first condition found on the purchase order schema.
Has any of you faced similar issue? Any workaround possible?.
Thanks in advance for your valuable help.
David Ramos.
PORCELANOSA MM.
This is the section of note 427944 that indicates the treatment of the shipment costs in the purchase order,
Transfer the shipment costs into the condition types of the purchase order:
The shipment cost value (without tax amounts) is cumulated for all relevant shipment cost documents
for each service agent and transferred to a corresponding condition type of the purchase order item.
Before cumulation, the amounts are first converted into the purchase order currency.
1. A transfer of the values for each condition type (similar to the transfer from a shipment
cost document to the SD billing document) is not supported.
2. If different service agents exist in the shipment cost documents, a corresponding number of
condition lines (with value 0) must be specified in the purchase order item. These can always
belong to the same condition type (in schema 'Manual') or also to different condition types (not
'Manual'):
a) Manual condition lines: If the condition type in the schema of the purchase order is
marked as 'manual', the condition type must be created (with value 0) in the purchase order
item before the goods receipt. If delivery costs are expected from different service agents,
several non-valuated entries must be generated for this condition type. If more condition
lines exist than required, these are then no longer taken into account. If condition lines
are missing, the last service agents are not settled.
- Advantage: You only have to define one condition type for the delivery costs.
- Disadvantage: Each purchase order must be processed manually before the goods receipt.
b) Automatic condition lines: If the condition lines are to be generated automatically for
the delivery costs (the condition type is not flagged as 'Manual' in the schema), the schema
must have enough condition types to settle several service agents. If more condition lines
exist than required, these are then no longer taken into account. If condition lines are
missing, the last service agents are not settled.
- Advantage: The goods receipt can be carried out without manual preparation beforehand in
the purchase order.
- Disadvantage: You must define identical condition types with different names.

Hi,
If you refereed the OSS Note 427944 correctly it explains how the shipment cost can be transferred to delivery cost based on some pre-requisite.
Like the value for PO should be >0
Like the service agent is involved during shipment liability, then there should be cumulative transfer for each value which will update based on shipment cost if PO value is "0".
The shipment cost will be delivered to all delivery items based on weight.
If you want to enhance this then you need to use the enhancement V54KSFRC to update the values as per your requirement.

Product Gap To Accommodate the Shipment Cost in R/3 Procurement process- MM

Hi,
We are in to IT distribution business; in our nature of business we donu2019t know shipment cost at Purchase Order, we can have various options
As per Our business requirement we want to take the MAP cost as basis of our Sales Price considering very low profit margin, so for every shipment( partial GR) the freight cost are not on proportionate basis, it will vary widely depending on the facts like
A.     Mode of transport(Air / Ship /Road )
B.     Size of Truck load/ Ship Container
C.     Number of Partial Shipment
D.     Shipment for Multiple Purchase order.
Further we want the freight cost to be automated based on above variations.
Problem:
We need to incorporate both the partial delivery cost (Elucidated below) at Goods receipt point for each and every shipment (Partial Delivery).
We want automated price component should flow to Good receipt on partial delivery basis considering both components mentioned below.
For understanding kindly refer to the below mentioned example.
Case 1:
We placed one Purchase Order Qty 1000 to Vendor HP on Inco term Ex Works Taiwan,
This Quantity of Material will be shipped partially to Our Plant at Dubai; We will out sourced Freight forwarder for picking the material from HP factory to Dubai Sea Port
We have different components as below
Fixed      $ 115.00      Per Bill of Lading / Shipment
Variable 1 and/or      $ 235.00      Per 30 CBM / 20" FT Container
Variable 2 and/or      $ 200.00      Per 60 CBM / 40" FT Container
Variable 3      $ 200.00      Per 70 CBM / 40" FT HC Container
Again the Shipment will be transferred from Sea Port to Our Plant through road, this may be a
Variable     From 1 to 8 CBM --> $ 19     3 Tonn
     More than 8 CBM --> 19 CBM --> $38     7 Tonn
     More than 19 CBM --> 43 CBM --> $52     40" Trailer
Any concept or solution will be acknowledged..
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
Quick answer will be
As you do not know delivery cost at the time of PO creation , you can post delivery cost in MIRO with a option to a particular G/L account & need to active in following path:
SPRO > Materials Management > Logistics Invoice Verification > Incoming Invoice > Activate Direct Posting to G/L Accounts and Material Accounts > Here Activate "Dir.posting to G/L acct = active" and save.
OR
Try for rebate / subsequent settlement.
