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?

Error while saving VI02 Shipment Cost

Hi,
We are testing here transportation module in new company code.
While saving VI03 Shipment cost, system is not creating Purchase order, as item catagory D-Service.
It is giving error that, Document type NB is not defined for Starnd PO.
But we have created new PO document type FR01 instead of NB.
Is there any posibility to assign PO Document type FR01 for shipment cost?
Waiting for your reply.
Thanks,
Samir Bhatt

Hello Samir,
the purchase order is generated with report RV54POCR, which is called as soon as no suitable purchase order is available and the item category is set for po generation.
Which document type is used for the purchase order generation depends on default po type assigned to the transactions ME21N/ME21. Please check the following code of the generation report:
Get Default PO type
CALL FOR TCODE ME21N FIRST, IF NOT FOUND, CALL FOR ME21.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM t160 WHERE tcode EQ 'ME21N'.
IF NOT sy-subrc IS INITIAL.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM t160 WHERE tcode EQ 'ME21'.
ENDIF.
Depending on your business needs you are able to assign a different type or to use the corresponding user exit which is called short after the above coding.
I hope I was able to help you with this issue!

Tom

Shipment Cost Document (LE-Transportation)

Hi
After flagging the Transfer check box in the Settlement Tab in item details of shipment cost document(VI03), the Purchase order(ME23N) and Service entry sheet(ML81N) are automatically getting generated. PO and Service entry sheet numbers can be seen in Service Procurement tab.
Question 1: When I separetely look into PO, I am unable trace back the flow. I mean, there is no reference of Shipment cost number in PO.
Question 2: I want the service entry sheet to get on hold/not accepted status so that i can add the list of services performed by the Forwarding agent / service agent mentioned in Shipment cost document.
Question 3: Is there any configuration setting which makes only to create a PO automatically and not the Service Entry sheet ??
Note: This subject is a mix of Transportation (Logistics Execution) and External Service Management (Materials management). The moderator of this forum can take a call on placement of this thread under suitable section.

Control of Incoterms in creation of Shipment Costs

Dear All,
We calculate shipment costs (Through Transportation module in SD-Freight payment-Outwards) on calculation base A (Delivery) or B
(Delivery item) and do not want to calculate deliveries that have certain
Incoterms (for example, TOP-To Pay, where Customer makes payment to Transporter).
By default, the system always creates a subitem in the shipment cost
document for the corresponding calculation base for every delivery item or for every delivery involved.
We want to have Control over certain Incoterms where we don't pay to the customers. We want to restrict the users not to calculate Shipment Costs in TOP-To pay cases. Kindly help if any Userexits available for this scenario to handle.
Regards
Subrat

Hi,
I think we have a similar requirement. For FCA transports is the transport cost zero. We have created a seperate condition in the cost procedure as a condition class A ( discount or surcharge ) in T_06. This has an access sequence assigned which uses a 9xx condition table (T_03) with fields Service agent f.stage ( TDLNR ) and
Incoterms ( INCO1 ). This enables us to maintain condition records in TK12. So FCA is maintained with 100 % deduction and thus no costs.

How to update sales order number (KAUFN) characteristic in the profitability segment of the PA document created at the time of service entry sheet confirmation, as a result of shipment cost document

Hi,
We have a scenario wherein we create shipment cost documents against delivery. As a result of shipments fully transferred, a PO for freight vendor is automatically created and a service entry sheet confirmation happens. As a result of service entry sheet confirmation, we have Financial accounting, Controlling and profitability analysis documents created. We have a requirement wherein we need to have the characteristic “sales order number (KAUFN)” populated in the profitability analysis document created as a result of service entry sheet confirmation.
Could someone please advice how could this be attained in COPA. Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Sandeep

Hi Ajay,
Thank you for the quick update.
The document is updated to COPA through OKB9 settings. The profitability segment is updated with fields like customer, product, company code, plant, sales area data, profit center, etc; however the sales order number is missing.
Could you please elaborate further how could FI substitution be implemented to call for the FM COPA_PROFITABILITY_SEGMENT through user exit? Are you recommending the substitution through GGB1? What could be the possible validation to call for the user exit to be implemented?
Regards,
Sandeep Kulkarni

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.

Issue in creating Invoice when route is not relevant for shipment cost.

Dear All,
We are facing a problem while creating an Invoice. The route used in shipment in not relevant for shipment costing. Shipment type is relevant for costing. So in normal scenario if I don't remove the tick mark from "Shipment cost relanace" at shipment type and proceed with Invoicing I get error as " SHipment costing is not complete", which is correct. The scenario works well if item/s in delivery are not batch split.
But, if items in delivery are batch split and "shipment cost relevance" check is not removed from shipment type then, only batch split items get copied in invoice. Header item is deleted and invoice gets saved, which should not happen.I don't get error in this scenario.
How should I make the error in invocie work in case of batch split items also? Could anyone please let me know?
Thanks!

Dear Manmeet Mohan K,
Can you please check the copy controls in between delivery document to invoice(VTFL)
Thanks&Regards

Can any one throw any light as to why it is happening like this?
Thanks and best regards

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.
Regards,
Anbu

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.

Vishal.

For Standard Materials, Tax code is defaulting from Info record.
As freight is a service, we only have Short text in the PO not the material.
Is there any way i can create info record for service materials? so that i can enter tax code in info record and that defaults into PO.
Thanks.

Hi
On double clicking on the item level, respective item details of the material is displayed and then click SHIFT+ F6 to see the COSTCENTER in the shipement cost document.
Configuration:
1) In Item category configuration account assigment category is Cost Center.
Logistics Execution>Transportation>Shipment Costs>Shipment Cost Document>Shipment Cost Types and Item Categories-->Define item categories
2) In the Transaction code OKB9 Costcenter is assigned to the company code , in order to automate the determination of CO assignments in case of Shipment cost document creation
