Shipment cost based on Value

I need your valuable suggestion on how to create the Value based shipment cost.
Our Process:
Create POS - Create Inbound delivery - Create Shipment - Create Shipment cost - Post Inbound Delivery.
So while posting the inbound delivery, the freight cost will post against the material. The invoice will be paid for the Vendor for the quantity purchased and freight charge will be paid for the freight Vendor(s).
We are adding the Vendor in the Shipment and adding the cost against the Vendor in the Shipment Cost.
Everything is working fine, but the shipment cost posting against the material was happening based on the delivery weight / quantity.
The reason for this asking the question is - we are receiving high value items and low value items with the same weight.
Question 1: Is it possible to have the shipment cost being split, calculated and posted against the material based on the PO Item received Value or PO Price
Quesion 2: Is it possible to post the shipment cost at a later date? Currently, the shipment cost posts when the inbound delivery is received (I know the material value will be posted when there is stock changes or price changes). But our issue is the invoice for the shipment cost will be received after a couple of days from the goods receipt. Right now we are entering couple of costs through assumption, then while postig the invoice, we adjust that value.
Note: I cannot enter the condition directly in the PO, as the same PO item will be partially received by multiple inbound deliveries

Freight carriers charges weight on the basis of Weight / volume of the items.SAP shipment works on the same principle.
Cost of transporting ton of Potataoes is same as transporting 10 ton of aluminium between two known destinations.
Hence it is illogical to distributes cost on the basis of item value. However if still you want to distribute the same on value basis then maintain freight condition(%) in PO as per your prefined logic of distribution of freight cost.
It is well known fact that cost of freight % is always higher in Low value items & iis low in case of High value items.

Shipment cost based on ordering unit

We have a scenario where the material UOM is MT while the ordering unit is KL. conversion factor is 10 kl = 8 mt.
whie i am able to create shipment costs based on the MM UOM ( MT ) in VI01, i am not able to create shipment costs based on ordering unit. ( kl)
the price conditon record for per kl price is sensed but not set in the shipment cost dcoument when per KL procedure is specifed in shipment ( vt01n)
i need the shipment costs to be calculated based on ordering unit.
would appreciate assistance to solve this issue
thanks
Ajit

Thanks for your response
yes, the conversion factor is maintained in the material master. This factor is used to convert the shipment quantity in KL to MT.
if i have a delivery of 10 kl and proportioning factor is 0.8, and a condition record wth per mt price, say 1000, i get a value of 1000 X 8 = 8000 in the shipment cost document.
i think the issue is of copying from delivery, which has both MT and KL figures, to shipment cost document.

Shipment cost with zero value

Hi Gurus,
I need expert advice on issue pertaining to shipment.
I want to make shipment document but don't want to creat shipment cost document.How these shipment document stauts can be closed without generating shipment cost document and what will be its effect.
Regards
Sanjay

Hi,
There is no any option to close it,
But in shipment document you can make it NOT RELEVENT FOR SHIPMENT COST CALCULATION at header level as well as item level(stage level)
You can do this by T-code T_57
In this u can seclect your shipment type & double click on shipment cost relevance for shipment types(left), here you remove tick marck from header & leg column which u r using.

Shipment cost calculation based on HU's allowed packaging weight

Hi all,
I need to calculate a shipment cost based on the Means of Transport's Allowed Packaging Weight (MARA-ERGEW). After condition record determination of cost per ton in each case, the system must multiply this value times the allowed packaging weight.
I know that through customizing I can create a Condition Type with Calculation Base = 'C' (Handling Unit) and Calculation Type = 'D' or 'E' (Gross or Net Weight). This is almost what I need except for the Calculation Type, because Allowed Packaging Weight is not an option in the field's matchcode (Percentage, Fixed Amount, Quantity, Gross Weight, Net Weight, Volume, etc...).
Is there any way through customizing I can achieve this? Or how can I program a routine in the Pricing Procedure for the Condition Type in order to make the calculation based on the HU's Allowed Packaging Weight.
I appreciate your help!!

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.

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.

Shipment costs and storage locations

Hello gurus,
I have got two questions concerning shipment costs:
1. In my POs I would like the system to automatically find a condition for shipment costs (e.g. 10$ per item or 100$ per PO), so that I do not have to enter them manually. Obviously the ammount should depend on the vendor, material etc. All I found up to now are condition types FRA1 and FRA2, but both of them are manual condition types. Isn't there any way of automatically determining shipment costs in POs?
2. One of our vendors does not charge any shipment costs, if the value of all items for one storage location exceeds 200$.
Example:
item   value    storage loc.
0010   10$      1000
0020 180$     1000
0030   20$      1000
0040   50$      1100
No shipment costs are charged for items 10-30, because the overall value of the three items is 210$, but for item 40 shipment costs are charged, because the item is for a different storage location.
Is there any way to generate this behavior in SAP?
Thanks in advance
Alicia

You can automatically enter the shipment cost based onthe vendor and material
1) you can enter them in the info record so it would be defualt in the PO. in this case you don't have to enter manually but this will be not check your PO item value
2) you can create the conditon in the m/06 as like freight conditon and create the access sequence based onthe combination you want e.g. vendor and material and enter this access sequence in conditon type oyu have created and maintian that in your pricing so sytem will automatically determine the moment you create PO for this vendor and mateirla combination
but as per your secind scenarion where you have to do the total and than determine that the shipment charge is applicable or not
this will required custom logic to populate the conditon based onthe calculation of the item level total.
use the user exit MM06E005

Shipment cost is zero

Hi friends,
I have confogured Transportation module for my cliet and while i am trying to calculate Shiment cost, the Pop up screen saying Net value is 0.
Where did i made mistake? Please help me in this with your suggestions.

Hi,
Please clarify the scenario in detail so that i can help u to resolve the issue, say for example u want to calcuate the shipment cost based on weight or distance both scenario will have different implication in master data.
Prerequisites:
1. Material master data ( Unit of measure & sales unit)
2. Transportation condition records ( t-code TK11)
3. Vendor Master records (in control tab specify the service agent procedure group)
4. check the condition types whether correct calculation type was maintained r not & must match with unit of measure in material master.
5. Dont maintain the scales for condition types mentioned in Transportation pricing procedure.
6. check the transportation pricing procedure.
Initially check all this requisites & get back to me if still same error pops up ( please provide me the detail information for resolving the issue)
i have resolved the same issue.

G/L account determination for shipment cost

Hi Experts,
I am having a problem setting up account determination for shipment cost document.
When saving shipment cost document, SAP generates "service entry sheet" (PO) and GR with accounting document,
but I would like to change the default G/L account by shipping condition type.
So far, I have set up automatic G/L account (OBYC), GBB and WRX, but I could only define the default one.
Could you please advise if it is possible to change G/L account for freight accrual?
and if yes, how to change G/L account determination by shipping condition type?
Thank you
JK

Hi,
1. Menu Path: Logistics Execution > Transport > Shipment Costs > Pricing > Pricing Control > Define And Assign Pricing Procedures
Transaction Code: SPRO
Shipment pricing procedure is same as the standard pricing procedure and uses condition technique to retrieve the data from condition tables.
2. Pricing Procedure Determination for Shipment Costs:
Based on the combination of Item category Determination group, Service Agent Procedure Group, Shipping Type Procedure Group, pricing procedure is determined
Menu Path: Logistics Execution > Transport > Shipment Costs > Pricing > Pricing Control > Define And Assign Pricing Procedures
3. Search Procedure for the PO:
TPPt: Transportation planning point is taken from the shipment document
SCTy: Shipment Cost type is taken from the shipment cost document
POrg: /Pgr/Plant: Purchasing Organization, Purchasing group and Plant is assigned to the combination of TPPt & SCTy.
On these values the purchase order is searched for the Vendor mentioned in the shipment document
Menu Path: Logistics Execution > Transport > Shipment Costs > Settlement > Assign Purchasing Data
4. Automatic G/L account Determination
I hope this information will help to you.
Thanks & Regards
Raju
From the Transaction u201CGBBu201D and combination of General Modification key u201CVBRu201D and valuation class the G/L account is determined for the posting to the freight accounts.
Menu Path: Logistics Execution > Transport > Shipment Costs > Settlement > Automatic G/L Account Determination
From the Transaction u201CWRXu201D and value of valuation class as u201C u201C the G/L account is picked for GR/IR accounts.

Please dont add such text in your post

Hi Moazzam
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:
Standard Shipment Process
Shipment Cost Processing - Delta - TD - Transportation and Distribution - SAP Library
Transportation Configuration and Process Flow - ERP Operations - SCN Wiki
Shipment cost
Shipment cost basic configuration...
Transportation (LE-TRA) - SAP Library
Shipment cost - VI01
Net value is zero when creating shipment cost
ETC...
Currently get the SDTRA.PDF document which I am reading .....
Infact after reading all the document I still unable to understand the proper technical flow required for shipment cost calculation.
Please share me your concept, it will be helpful for me.

SAP transparent table stores condition value of Shipment cost

HI
I need to know which SAP transparent table stores condition value of Shipment cost document (specific for Freight condition which derived from Bulkiness group).
Background:
Minimum load calculation logic
In the pricing procedure for shipment cost we have two conditions: One is ZMIN (similar with SP00) which is having condition class u201CHu201D, Calculation type u201CGu201D which determine Bulkiness group according to access sequence. Bulkiness group is where we define different group with different minimum load. e.g. ZCEM16 u2013 25.TON (22.68) Second condition is ZAFR (Similar with FB00), ZAFR calculates the base value from ZMIN (Compare actual weight with Min weight value of Bulkiness group), if the net weight is 23 ton, it will calculate at 25 ton because of the bulkiness group.
Now I need to know in which table system stores dynamic value of ZMIN? Just like we have PR00 in KONV which we can find from KNUMV of billing / sales order. If I use the same logic then I donu2019t find ZMIN Condition type and value in KONV table for the specific shipment cost document. Please advice how to and from which Table I can find Bulkiness group value of Shipment cost document.
Thanks

Hi,
Get the shipment cost number from shimpment document (document flow or shipment document header).
Goto VFKP table,enter shipment cost number and choose detials. get the document condition number from KNUMV field.
Now goto KONV and enter document condition number and choose details. you can see condition type and value.
Thanks & Regards,

Shipment cost(net value) changes in VI02/VI03

hello,
In VI02 or VI03,when I see the shipment costs(net value)for one item has some value say 100 eur.I am double clicking that line item where the shipment cost(net value) will be different value say 10 eur.Once again when I double click that line item,in the next screen i can see condition types with different charges.
now when i come back twice to my first screen, I see that shipment costs(net value) is displayed as 10 eur instead of 100eur.
What may be the reason behind this? Is this Standard SAP functionality?
Regards
goutham

Hello,
I didnot select the button update i just double clicked the line in the Shipment costs item tab where it will take me to the sub-item conditions details.Then if we come back to original screen,price is changed.
