Hi,
Simple way:
In the configuration of item cat, remove the immediate billing block and delivery block.
Alternatively:
Certain control elements must be maintained for calculating shipment costs with the transportation service agent and for forwarding of shipment costs to FI and CO.
you can maintain these control elements and carry out the corresponding assignments.
Assign purchasing data
maintain acc. assignment cat.
automatic G/L acc. determination
automatic determination of CO assignments
invoices and credit memos
These settings must have been done, just undo these settings and the billing docs wont be created automatically.
For manual creation of billing follow:
After completion of shipment cost processing you process shipment cost settlement.
After the transportation activity finished, the cost of transportation should be settled both internally and externally, for internal, it should be booked to the relevant G/L account and for the external, the cost should be settled with the forwarding agency, which is the vendor.
Using VI02, enter shipment cost no., Press enter, on the Standard change, overview – Freight cost items screen, select the line item with item category and double click it,Go menu as follows: Item  Account assignment, you can see here the G/L account () and the cost center () to which the transportation cost will be posted, press save button.
On the Standard change, details – Freight cost items screen, then check the check box “Transfer”, which means you will transfer the relative transportation cost to FI/CO, in this case, the system should determined which Purchase Order will used to settle the cost, so after you check the “Transfer” check box.
Press save button on the current screen.
Settlement with forwarding agency:-
For checking GR/IR account, Access the transaction using MR11,
Press the execute button, then the relative GR/IR account listed, you can check the related PO date in which, the service items can be shown.
For checking A/P account, Access the transaction using FK10N,
For posting invoice from the vendor, Access the transaction using MIRO
Check the invoice using MIR4.

Siddharth.
