Shipment - Shipping type & Forwarding agent

Dear All,
Is it possible to develop the relation ship between forwarding agent and shipping type?
It means when user select forwarding agent code shipping type should get change in the shipment document or delivery document.
Regards,
SmartSD

Try and use tcode OVTVT_CA - Configuration of Transportation Processing for Forwarding Agent
Where, you can define the basic settings that are required for transportation planning, and for status and event verification through the forwarding agents. The forwarding agents work with the sender's.
The following basic settings are possible:
-Forwarding Agent User Assignment
-Master Data of Shipment
-Selection Variants of the Shipment
-Selection Variants for Delivery
-Limitation of Available Delivery Selection
Thanks & Regards

Shipment forward agent incorect in MIRO invoice

Hello,
       I met an issue. Because user input wrong forward agent A in shipment, so we cancel the shipment cost and deleted.
Then we updated the forward agent B in shipment, and created a new shipment cost, then transferred, But when we
used MIRO to do the invoice, the vendor still is pervious one A, and I test it in Q system, I got 2 vendors for selection,
why was the pervious one still there?
      P.S. In Trasaction MIRO we used delivery note to input shipment number. Thanks.
     I checked the pervious Entry Sheet, it has a deletion indicator, but When I used MIRO, system still will get information
from that Entry Sheet.
Best regards
Sophie

HI,
Create the MIRO document with reference to service entry sheet.
Example: Shipment document created using forwarding agent A, instead of B. In this case follow the below steps.
Step 1: Cancel the MIRO document using MR8M.
Step 2: Mark the Cancellation in VI02. Double click the line item go to settlement tab as shown below.
Step 3: Delete the shipment cost document using VI02
Step 4: Delete the shipment document using VT02N.
Step 5: Create the new shipment document using Forwarding Agent.
Kindly follow the same & update the status.
Thanks & Regards

Automatic "Shipping Type" and "Forwarding Agent" from Route to Sales Order

Need some help...
When creating a Sales Order, the field "Shipping type" (inside Shipping tab of the Item Level) and the Forwarding Agent (Partners tab) should be automatically get from the configuration made for the Route applied in the order, via SAP Standard Functionality.
The Route is being automatically determined in the Sales Order and for this Route, there is a "Shipping Type" and a "Freight Agent" assigned.
Thanks for the help!

Hi Hrishi.
Actually, those informations have to be available in the delivery.
The idea is that the customer organizes all his operations (picking, packing, loading and tranportation processes) based on deliveries that will be transported by the same agent and using the same shipping type.
As I assigned an agent and a shipping type in the route, I expected to get these values automatically in the Sales Order, and consequently in the delivery.
Thanks for the help.
Regards.

Hi Experts,
We have below scenario

Company invoice the customer and pays the freight to transporter
As there is no shipment activated in the scenario

2) And my sales cycle is running fine (Sales orde-Delivery-Billing) partner function as Forwarding Agent flowing correctly
My question is how I will settle the forwarding agents payment of freight? (Which transaction codes involved)
Is it possible to settle the forwarding agent without activating the shipment??
Need your help in this scenario
Thanks

Hi,
Ideally speaking you have to enable shipment cost in order to settle the cost to the transporter.
However if you decide not to enable this, you have to do this by means of MM process.
The forwarding agent should be created as a vendor in MM.
Once in a month, you have to calculate the total freight to be paid to him by finding out the summation of the freight condition type in the sales invoices.
Now create a PO and mention a service (use a material number to represent the service). For this PO, you can trigger automatic GR/Confirmation of Service and creation of logistics invoice with the value of the freight charges.
Towards this LInvoice, you can settle the amount to the forwarding agent.
The second way can be by means of credit memos in SD
Create a Credit Memo request using forwarding agent as the payer (in this case you have to create the forwarding agent as a customer account group)
The CMR should have the value of the condition type as the frieght value of the invoice in which the frieght is charged to the customer
Based on this CMR, create the Credit memo and pay the money to the forwarding agent. So the cycle will look like this.
SO Creation by Customer (Freight charge will be included in SO pricing)
Delivery to customer
Invoice sent to customer (with freight value charged to the customer)
Payment received from customer
Raise a Credit Memo request using the forwarding agent as the payer
Include the freight valueof the invoice in teh credit memo
Create the Credit Memo with reference to the CMR
Now do the payment to the forwarding agent.

Customer Ship-to and Forwarding agent relationship

Dear Friends,
Is there any possibility that I can store information related to Transportation (Customer-Forwarding Agent relation) in SAP.
What I need is that when I assign delivery to the Shipment, system should automatically pick up the forwarding agent as applicable for the Ship-to-Party in the delivery.
Please advise.
Regards,
Harsh

The best forwarding agent determination during shipment processing.

Hello,
Standard SAP allow freight cost estimate during shipment processing for particular forwarding agent - "Freight cost estimate" button.
Is it possible in standard to automatic determination of the cheaper forwarding agent based on freight cost estimation?
Andrzej

Dear Andrzej,
Through "Freight cost estimate" you can find out which farwarding agent is cheaper than other based on that you can deside which FA is feasable.
I don't think system will determine automatically the cheapest FA in the shipping documents.
I hope this will help you,

Sujith.

Hi Sujith,
This situation may arriase anytime.
it is possible to create one shipment cost document for more than 2 forwarding agents.
Standard SAP gives all the option in such scenario.
No Z developments required for achieving seperate costing for individual forwarder.

Error while changing forwarding agent in shipment

Hi all,

The error info is " ZT 907: The communications link to the IT System has been interrupted"
Any idea why this error is coming ?
Thanks in advance .

Change of forwarding agent in shipment

There is a shipment which has status as 5 - shipment completion. we have created shipment documents and deleted but system set shipment cost status as C - completely process
Goods issue happened for delivery attached with shipment.we wants to change forwarding agent in shipment but when we are going to change mode of shipment Planning Tab coming as gradeout (not active)
Regards

Dear Murali,
I appreciate your reply in this regard. Shipment costs are deleted from transaction VT11. Now I've few concerns:
1. Whether or not VT11 deletes/reverses the process like cancellation, account assignment deletion etc. and resets the status in Shipment Document in Shipment costs calculation tab as 'A'.
2. GI reversal is mandatory?
3. If point 1 is correct, then in Shipment documents, the status is still shown as C in all fields related to Shipment Cost Statuses.
OR you mean to say that we need not uncheck the Planning, Shipmet Start, Shipment end etc. button before chnaging the Fwding agent?
Where I'm getting stuck is that "Planning" button in "Further dates" tab in greyed out and we are not able to reset it.
What I'm doubting is that since the Shipment Costs statuses in Shipment Document is C even of Shipment cost is deleted which is preventing "Planning" button to be functional.
Awaiting your valuable inputs.
Regards

Shipment cost & shipping type

Hi all,
i have some question about routes & stages.
1) in one routes with two stages: these stages can be different for shipping type? (for instance: 1) by ship 2) by road
2) when i calculate shipment cost: (a condition record with scales in function of tariff zone of departure and tariff zone of destination)----->
why the costs are only calculated by the system for 2nd stage e not for 1st stage.????
if i configure 1st stage (by road as the 2nd stage) the system calculates cost for 1some st and 2nd stage... (and it's right)!!!
Any solutions??
best regards
Alba

Hi,
Dear Imran,
You have posted this question twice and there is no such condition
You have to maintain scale and if need to develop routine and that I already suggested to you.
Kindly do not post 1 question many time

Forwarding agent payment settlement

Is it possible to settle the forwarding agent without activating the shipment and Transportation??
Need your help in this scenario
Regards,
Munirathnam Reddy

Hi,
As understand from your question, you donesnt want to add the freight value in net value in billing but at the same is required to post accounts also. In those cases create the freight conditon type as accrual condition type, at the time of billing this value not add in the net value but this value will post to the accounts. This value creates provisional liability in the books and based on this value company pay the amoount to vendor.

Bill of Lading : Forwarding Agent/Carrier data

Hello,
On Bill of Lading report no data are displayed in 'Forwarding Agent/Carrier' section.
Which kind of data do I have to setup to displayed data in this section ?

This might helps
You can create a Bill of Lading category for each delivery leg's Ship
Method/Carrier you use or define one Bill of Lading category for all Ship
Methods/Carriers. The advantage to having a different Bill of Lading
sequence for each carrier is that you could easily identify the carrier
by looking at the Bill of Lading number.
In addition to creating document categories by Ship Method/Carrier, you
can tie a category to a specific delivery's pick-up location. This
provides the opportunity to have a different BOL sequence for the same
carrier departing from a different location. An example of this would be:
For a Viking Freight shipment departing from warehouse 1 the Bill of
Lading number could look like this: WH1-Viking-12345
For a Viking Freight shipment departing from warehouse 2 the Bill of
Lading number could look like this: WH2-Viking-54321

Forwarding agent should not hold empty value

Hi all,
In Vt02n transaction while doing shipment completion i need to check if the forwarding agent field is empty or not .
If it is so i need to raise a error message. After that the forwarding agent field should be opened for input.
In the include ZXV56U16 (in the exit EXIT_SAPLV56F_011) i wrote a logic for this field check and raised a error message.
When i tested it the error message was dipalyed but the field is not opeing for inout again.
Can anyone pls help me on resolving this issue.

Instead of writing abap code in user exit, you can create an activity profile for the shipment type and status where the validation is required.
SPRO-Logistics Execution-Transportation-Shipments-Define and Assign Activity Profiles
In the profile you choose to display a popup window and mark the forwarding agent (VTTK-TDLNR) as mandatory field. As a result, when updating the status in the shipment document the system will ask for a forwarding agent.
Hope this helps

Forwarding agent product quota allocation

Hi,
Client allocates the quantity to Forwarding agent (forwarding agent quota) on every day. Based on allocation, shipment document is created.
How can I achieve this in SAP? Where we can set the quantity against the forwarding agent?
Should I need to create a "Z" transaction where we can set the daily quota based on forwarding agent and at day end compare it with dispatch quantity?
Any input.!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
Further to the question you asked on the design for the process, you could include a different pricing procedure for Consignment and include a condition type for (i.e. ZCOM) for commission and maintain the relevant condition records as necessary. Scales etc could also be used to further meet calculation of commission based on volume etc.
That should easily solve your problem.
Hope the above helps.
Thanks.
