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
Shipment costs item 000001 w/ ref. to doc. $0001 item 0001
Message no. VY104
Goods types directory could not be determined
Message no. VW803
Please help to reolve this issue.

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 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.

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.
Thanks,

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

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.

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

Appreciate any help on this.

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.

Shipment Cost- Configuration

Hii All
There is a requirement where the shipment cost should automatically pick the value of each stage in the shipment and then choose the maximum amount of the all.
Following are the questions I have :
- How can I customize shipment cost such that each stage in shipment is copied as item in shipment cost document
- How can a condition type be set so that it selects the maximum of the amount in each stage
Thanks & Regards
Gaurav Manocha

Hi,
In configiration settings of Shipment cost Calculation, you neeed to assign Shipment Pricing Procedure to both Shipment Header and Shipment Item level. I don't know the exact path but it's in Logistics Execution in SPRO. Hope this should solve your problem.

Shipment cost information - handling units

Hello ,
( After reviewing notes 393849, 934370 , 746606 )
i have a problem with shipment cost information from sales
order ( VA02 ; VICI ) when the shipment cost is calculated according to handling units.
In our S.C.C regular scenario the shipment cost is calculated according to the packing materials in the shipment ( VT02 ) .
The pricing procedure includes the follwing condition records :
Condition y050 : Calc.type - S ( number of shipping units ) ;
                  Calc.base - C ( Handling units ) .
and a few conditions with the same definition as :
Condition y051 : Calc.type - S ( number of shipping units ) ;
                  Calc.base - '' ( ALL ) .
( in order to overcome regular S.C.C customization the above
p.procedure is determined in exit - shipment costing : configure
pricing - V54B001 - EXIT_SAPLV54B_001 ) .
After filling the necessary fields in VA01/VA02 such as Material , volume , weight , packing proposal and then executing the shipment cost information according to the planning profile we get error message
( VY-140 ) :
" shipment cost not saved because they contain no items " .
After debugging in   - EXIT_SAPLV54B_002 : none of the handling units in VA01/VA02 ( packing proposal ) is transferred to pricing structure "KOMP" and therefore the shipment cost calculation is
not completed ( to my best knowledge . . . ) .
when proccessing the transactions online VA02->VL02N the packing proposal is transferred as expected .
any ideas ?
Regards
ASA

Hi Sudeer,
Once again please check the configuration steps
-->Define Shipment cost information profile
-->Assign planning profile
-->Also check the variants which you are maintaining in the planning profine.
-->Check the input data in the variants which you have maintained.
Go through this link about Shipment Cost Information in the Order

VI01 - Shipment Costs (combining Deliveries from Shipment document)

Hello experts
Do you know how to combine (consolidate) the shipment costing line item (VI01) when there are more than one Delivery to the same customer in the Shipment document?
E.g. I have a Shipment with 58 Deliveries and for a specific customer has 2 Deliveries, the Shipment Costing (VI01) must to create just one line item consolidating the 2 Deliveries for that customer, not to split 2 lines (one line for each Delivery).
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Best regards...
