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!!

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 calculation - configuration problem

hello all
we are implementing the shipment cost calculation system and so far configured only 1 service agent .
the problem regarding scenarios that the shipment executed by service agents that is not configured in
the system but the invoicing party is the one ( SA) that we configured .
( the SA that is configured in the system is charging us for the shipments of the
SA that is not configured. )
how can i get the shipment cost document to open for the invoicing party ( the one that we configured )
but still leave the shipment under the origin service agent ( the one that isn't configured ) ?
Regards ,
ASA .

Hi ,
sorry, i wasn't precise :
i need to open a service entry whose based on po in order to forward to financial accounting .
( its a separate po that isn't part of the inbound or outbound process and i open it for SA x )
Y and X are differnt transportation companys but i have some cases that SA x is charging me
for the shipment of SA y.
the transportaion agent in VT01N is SA y and there for the shipment cost document opens for SA y and
looks for po for SA y .
i have to direct the system ( by some user exit / badi ) to seek for the po of SA x ( the one whose
charging me for the shipment ) .
hope this help explain my problem ,

Shipment Cost Calculation

Dear All,
I know that tariffzone plays a role in determining the price for the freight/Service Agent condition in case of outbound shipment cost calculation
I have the following query in Shipment Pricing.
Can anyone please explain whats the role of the 2 postal code columns in the tariff zone assignment?
Also how & where I have to maintain the data for determining the tariff zone which I have assigned to the above combination.
Please help.
Regards,

HI Dave,
Thanks for the response.
Please note that I have maintained postal codes in my Shipping point also in my customer master.
For the combination of TP Point, Service agent, Shipping type & Country I have made the following assignment.
I have given my shipping point Postal code in both the Postal code columns of Tarff zone assignment (say Tariff) & my customer master Postal code in both the Postal code columns of Tariff zone assignment (say Tariff1).
Now I have maintained the condition records in TK11 for the combination of Depart. Tariff zone/Destn.Tariff zone/Service Agent i.e. Tariff/Tariff1/Service Agent
But my condition record value is not getting determined & when I simulate my shipment cost I am getting the following error message.
Shipment costs not yet calculated

Transportation cost calculation based on the Shipment duration

Dear all members,
Now I work on the IS-Oil system. I try to calculate the shipment cost for the shipment duration.
1. The requirement here is when we complete the delivery confirmation (shipment status is 6), the system doesn't calculate the actual total duration of this shipment. I saw there is a field for total duration in the TD shipment (in the Maintain Stages tab), but it is blank. Do you know how to config this system so that it can auto update this field?
2. I want to calculate this shipment cost base on this shipment duration. Do you know which condition type or how to customize the condition type so that we can calculate the shipment base on the shipment duration? I try to work with Scale technique, it works when I set the price for 9999 day. But it doesn't make sense if the customer asks us the reason why we need scale for this problem. This problem seems to be very simple, I want to maintain condition record for 1 truck of 1 vendor, the price will be 50 USD/ day for this truck. And the shipment cost document must get the (shipment duration) * (50 USD).
Thanks in advance!

Hi Thado
You need a have routine on the shipment cost document pricing procedures condition type, there you need to get the actual shipment start date and end date which are available in Shipment status, and condition value can be calculated from there based on Number of Days *eg 500.
Thanks

CO error in Shipment cost calculation - VI01

Hi all,
We have an issue while creating an shipment cost document for the shipments created with respect to Project/Networks.
Scenario: Our client has various project site where construction is going on and material is being sent to these site. A outbound delivery (delivery type LP) is created with respect to Project/Networks and send it out via third party carriers. A shipment document is created for these deliveries in order to fetch the shipment cost.
I am using account assignment category as "P = Project" in Item category assigned to Shipment Cost Type I am using and Account Modifier has been taken as VBR. My G/L account is deteremined fine but Cost Object (WBS element) beside G/L is coming blank in account assignement field in Shipment cost document.
Please suggest what I am missing here in configuration from Transportation or Financial side.

I am a bit confused with this, VT01N is first, then you do VI01.
in VI01 you create a shipment cost document to a shipment which must exist.
when you execute VT01N, then you create a new shipment.

Automatically Shipment cost calculation by the system

Dear Gurus,
My client has a requirement that there are three route and three forwarding agent (Vendor),Suppose routes are 100,150&200 km respectively and 12,15,18 are the transporter (Vendor).transporter 12 is charging Rs.400 including loading,unloading & freight charge of materials from supplying zone to receiving zone (customer) , 15 is charging Rs 600 & 18 is charging Rs 800 for same respectively. so how system will automatically pick which one will be convenient for customer from both aspects route & shipment cost.anybody suggest me the configuration.
Regards
Jibanjyoti

To achieve this, you need to have a combination of Route and Transport Vendor which should be configured in T_07. Meanwhile, you would already be having an existing condition type for freight. Assign the above sequence in T_06
Now in TK11, maintain the required charges

Problem in clearing the shipment costs to transporter

Hellow,
Scenario:
Step1:
1. I created on PO and I did one inbound delivery with reference to PO.
2. Then i did inbound shipment, and shipment cost document.
3. Shipment costs calculated based on weight of the delivery material, Here Weight is 3 To with 300/- per TO.
Total amount is 900.
3. Then i did MIGO with reference to inbound delivery.
4. Now system copied shipment costs to material costs.
5. Then i did MIRO for planned delivery costs(900/-) with reference to PO.
Step2:
1. same way i did one more inbound delivery for open items
2. Shipment document with reference to Inbound delivery.
3. Shipment cost document created, Here also only 3 To weight, but the freight rate is 200/- per TO, total cost is 600 only.
4. I did MIGO with reference to Inbound delivery
5. When i do the MIRO with reference to same PO for remaining 600/- planned delivery costs, system is not copying the 600/- from PO. It is copying the average on 900+600 for remaining delivery costs.
If we go with same freight rates this kind of problem is not happening. In different rate situation only this problem is occuring.
Can i have any solutions please?
With regards
Lakki

Hi Lakki,
May I know what's the condition type for the freight charges involved so that we could proceed to help you further.
Thank you.

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.

User exit/BADI for condition type in shipment costing

Hi! Does anyone know of any user exit or BADI or function module we can use to populate a value to a custom condition type we have created for shipment costing? We want to calculate the customs duty charges based on the purchase price of the item in the PO. As such, we need to go extract this information on the PO and populate it on the condition type.
Appreciate any help on this.
Cheers!

Shipment Cost for an STO/ Outbound Delivery

Hello All,
We are trying to configure shipment cost for STO. We are facing an issue as explained below. Let me know if anyone of you faced a similar issue and if you have ideas for the fix -
In our scenario the Shipment cost calculation is done on the following basis -
1) Flat Rate - For example for transporting of goods from new york to atlanta.
I did complete the configuration for shipment cost and I am able to get shipment cost in the STO. Here is an example of where I am stuck -
1. I created outbound delivery # 1 (partial quantity) for the sto (with 2 line items). When I create shipment cost document, it allocates the shipment cost to the 2 line items proportionately. eg. 100$ is distributed as 50$ each.
2. Now, when I create a new outbound delivery #2 for the rest of the quantity and try to create shipment cost, it distributes based on the ratio of the quantity shipped. This is how it distributes -
(Quantity shipped in OBD#2/ Total STO Quantity) * Shipment cost from first OBD (=50$).
What we want is the exact distribution of 50$ for the second OBD as well.
Appreciate your help!!
Thanks in Advance

Shiment Cost Calculation Rules

Hi Gurus
Can you please provide me details of configuring Shipment Cost Calculation Rules?
Thank You

Hi Brajesh,
Is the following rules you are expecting?
Determining the Calculation Basis
Use
The origin of the data upon which a condition type is based during shipment costing determines the calculation basis. During shipment costing, the system determines the shipment cost items from the different calculation bases for the condition types of a pricing procedure. Shipment costing itself is carried out for each sub-item.
Prerequisites
You must maintain a suitable calculation base in the definition for the condition type in Customizing.
If you select handling units as the calculation basis, you must also specify the packaging material type so that only the relevant handling units are used for shipment cost calculation.
Features
The calculation bases are determined during shipment costing for a shipment cost item on the basis of the settings made in the condition type.
During pricing, the calculation base influences
The condition types to be considered for each sub-item
The information available for determination of the conditions
All condition bases contain information from the shipment header or shipment stage, as well as from the shipment cost item. This information includes service agents, geographical information (point of departure and destination) and shipping type, for example.
How the scale base types (gross weight, net weight and volume) are calculated
The following types of calculation bases are possible:
Deliveries
If condition types with this calculation base exist in the pricing procedure, then the system creates a shipment cost sub-item for every relevant delivery.
No information from the delivery items (such as materials) or the handling units is available.
The scale base types (gross weight, net weight, volume) refer to the corresponding information from the delivery headers.
Delivery items
If condition types with this calculation base exist in the pricing procedure, then the system creates shipment cost sub-items for every relevant delivery item.
Information from the delivery header and the relevant delivery item is available. There is no information from the handling units, however.
The scale base types (gross weight, net weight, volume) refer to the corresponding information from the delivery items.
Group of Handling Units
If condition types with this calculation base exist in the pricing procedure, then the system creates shipment cost sub-items for the sum of all identical handling units with the relevant packaging material type (also specified in the condition type).
There is no information from the deliveries or the delivery items available.
The scale base types (gross weight, net weight, volume) refer to the corresponding cumulated information from the relevant handling units.
Shipment cost item
If condition types with this calculation base exist in the pricing procedure, then the system creates exactly one shipment cost sub-item.
There is no information from the deliveries, the delivery items or the handling units.
The scale base types (gross weight, net weight, volume) refer to the corresponding information from the relevant delivery headers.
Per handling unit
This calculation basis corresponds to the calculation basis handling units, with the only difference that each handling unit is calculated individually. This calculation base is necessary for shipping packages, for example.
Handling unit including delivery item
If condition types with this calculation basis exist in the pricing procedure, then the system creates a shipment cost sub-item for every packaged delivery item and handling unit (per combination of delivery item and handling unit). Shipment costs are therefore calculated with content depending on the handling unit.
All of the information from the handling units and delivery items is available.
The scale basis types (gross weight, net weight, volume) refer to the gross weight of a handling unit per delivery item.
All
You can use this calculation base if, for example, you want to define a discount that applies to both delivery-related and handling unit-related shipment prices. A condition type with this calculation base can be used for every shipment cost sub-item.
Several calculation bases may be used within a shipment cost item. In performing a shipment comparison, for example, the calculation could be performed using two calculation bases. You could then compare the results. See also Shipment Comparisons.
For system load and clarity reasons, we recommend selecting a calculation base that is only as detailed as absolutely necessary. For example, if only the total weight and the transportation leg are relevant, the calculation base for shipment cost items is sufficient. However, you can still distribute the costs in greater detail. The cost distribution is independent of the calculation base. For example, you can calculate shipment costs using the calculation basis for shipment cost items and distribute the costs at delivery item level. The system weights the costs and distributes them accordingly.
When defining the condition tables in Customizing (Logistics Execution ® Transportation ® Shipment Costs ® Pricing ® Pricing Control ® Define price dependencies (condition tables), you should make sure that information is not available for every field - depending upon calculation base. If, for example, you select the field Incoterms for a condition table when condition types with the calculation basis Handling units exist in the pricing procedure, there can be no information on Incoterms for the corresponding sub-item. This means that no condition records will be found for this key. For further information on the role of the condition table in pricing, see Condition Tables.
Please let me know your thoughts.

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
