Shipment costs and storage locations

Question

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

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.
