Tracking freight costs by customer - options?

I have had a request as to how to track profitability by customer. This is to include freight. The freight price to the customer is included in the material unit prices, but the costs are billed separately. Currently there is no link (other than via cost centre booked on Purchase Invoice) between the cost of the freight and the income.
I would like to know what options there are available to link freight costs to a customer, sales order or sales contract.
ECC modules: MM, SD, FI, CO, HRM, BW

Ok, thanks for your reply.
But the problem is that all costs item categories have the same configuration, all are availabe to create PO per month. So I don´t know why many PO are created, what logic SAP is using to create many PO to the same vendor.
Can you explain me that ? Or it would be a MM issue ?
Thanks a lot.

Shpmnt Freight Cost varies(extra/short material)

Hello,
We have recently implemented Shipment freight cost for Inbound Shipments. Shipment cost is calulated based on weight.
The issue we are facing is:
If In an Inbd/delivery there are two HU and each having 100 cartons(total shipment 200 cartons) and weight is 1000Kg per HU, so assmue total cost of the entire shipment (two HUs) is 2000 USD.
Shipment cost document is created and enter the cost as 2000 USD for entire shipment.
Now While PGR for first HU (inbound delivery) we found that qty is 110 car inplace of 100 cartons,
System calculate the Freight cost as 1100 USD and while PGR of the 2nd HU(inbound delivery) we found the correct qty 100 cartons and system calculate the freight cost as 1000 USD.
The problem is actual shipment cost is 2000 USD whereas system is calculating 2100 USD.....
Has anybody this issue earlier, please share your experience....

JPS

Hi Michela,
This is possible by adding one more condition type with blank condition category and negative value in plus/minus field.
please refer the following wiki which gives step by step configuration.
Appreciate if it is useful

How the freight cost are transferred from condition type of shipment cost document to service entry sheet and collected in service PO item

Dear Experts:
could you please share with me the knowledge for below topic:
How the freight cost are transferred from condition type of shipment cost document to service entry sheet and collected in service PO item, because these three objects use three different pricing procedures, and different condition type.
how did the condition type of service entry sheet know to copy the value of whcih condition type in the pricing procedure of shipment cost document?
Is this SAP standard function OR there need an enhancement to do that?
I didn’t find related condition value copy setting in background, could you please share related setting with me? Thank you very much for your kind help!
Best regards,
Andy

Hi, Gopi,
Glad to see your feedback, but i still have question on your feedback:
which condition type in the pricing procedure of service entry sheet should know to capture the net value of shipment cost doc? becasue there are so many condition types,
And i have checked the corresponding condition type (PRSX) of service entry sheet pricing procedure in my SAP system, this is a self-defined condition type, but NO any calculation routine maintained for the condition type (PRSX), how did the condition type (PRSX) know to copy the total cost of shipment cost document?
Below is the example and another question:
what the relationship between the pricing procedures at service PO item level and service line item level?
1. The freight cost in shipment cost document—including used condition type and pricing procedure
The pricing procedure of shipment cost document
2. The freight cost in service entry sheet—including used condition type and pricing procedure
The pricing procedure of service entry sheet--the pricing procedure at service line item level
3. The freight cost in service PO item—including used condition type and pricing procedure:

Report on Shipment/Freight Costs

Dear Forum,
We are following the process whereby the Shipment/Freight costs are included in the POs as conditions. At the time of Goods Receipt, as per the standard procedure, the Shipment/Freight Costs are loaded on to the materal costs of the Inventories received. Now there is a requirement to monitor the Shipment/Freight Costs and a report is required to be generated which would give the material costs as well as the Shipment/Freight costs. How can we generate the same?
Your help would be highly appreciated.
Regards

You can use MB51(Amount in LC,101 mvmt type) for material cost.
Find shipment / freight cost using FBL3N report for required g/l account.

Freight cost estimate - Shipment

Hi I m new in shipment, please help me.
When I make the simulation (Freight cost estimate) in transaction VT02N the Net Value that shows is different to the real net value when the shipment is ended.
This happen because in the u201CItem conditionsu201D of the Conditions for shipment Costs Items, the Condition Base Value is 0. Where can I change this value so every simulation consider it?
Thanks!!

hey ,
i cant post my e-mail here but you can cut & paste in this page ( or link to FTP ) .
any how ,
if you want to change the value of the scale you can do it in tk12 and from there go to the scale that
you define in VS02 .
look in sap help ( or google ) for the file SDBFPR.pdf ( condition types )

Inbound freight - Goods receipt before Shipment cost document

Hi,
We are in process of implementing Transportation module for capturing Inbound freight.
All our test cases passed except 2) mentioned below:
Operationally transactions sequence can happen in two ways:
1) Purchase Order -> Inbound delivery -> Shipment document ->Shipment Cost ->Goods receipt ->Invoice verification - Materials
> Invoice verification - Freight
2) Purchase Order -> Inbound delivery -> Goods receipt ->Shipment document -> Shipment Cost -> Invoice verification - Materials
> Invoice verification - Freight
In case 1 we are we are getting correct results as freight amount is getting added in material cost during MIGO as below
Inventory              Dr          (is sum of GR/IR and Frt Provision)
GR/IR                    Cr
Frt Provision         Cr
While in case 2) since MIGO is done prior to shipment document we are not able to get FI effects for freight cost. Hence Invoice booking is not possible for freight neither it is getting added into materials.
Results expected as below :
In case 1 , same as it is happening today.
In case 2, it should post freight provision at shipment cost document so that freight booking can be done.
        Inventory       Dr
        Frt Provision Cr
It will be of great help if anybody suggest solution on this.

Hi Ilya,
A simple search term "Shipment cost document creation before PGI" and got the below thread which is exactly the same the only difference is for process GR and GI
May i ask you to go through with existing thread first and if your question is not answered please let us know
G/R mandatory before shipment cost....

Freight costs in Pricing procedure and Shipment costs

What is the difference between freight costs in pricing procedure for a sales document and shipment costs in shipment documents. Arent they meant for the same thing. Why do we have to create them separately.

hello, friend.
freight charges in the sales pricing procedure may be represented by condition type KF00 (standard). this condition type is a surcharge to your customer, meaning there is an inflow into your company. this surcharge may be manually entered (if configuration allows this) in the condition tabs of your sales order or this could automatically be entered if the appropriate condition records (via VK11 or VK31) have been created.
the shipment costs in shipment documents is what your company is billed or quoted by your forwarder, shipper or other transport related agent. the shipment cost data will be used by the system to calculate and settle shipment costs. when you have freight condition records (via TK11), purchase-vendor records and if all route/connection point/etc. settings correct, all shipment cost data will be determined when you do shipment cost document creation. you may also manually enter cost items, depending on the configuration.
hope this helped. is so, will appreciate reward.
regards.

Shipment cost in collective shipment

Hi,
Collective Shipment Includes:
1.Several Point of departure
2.Several Destinations
One Mode of Transport.
I have to configure above two scenarios.
Can shipment from manufacturing plant to depot and from depot to retailer come under collective shipment? ie STO and direct sale can be a part of collective shipment?
If yes pls. elaborate on how I can get shipment cost documents separately for STO and direct sale as single shipment doc will not be useful.
Pls. respond.

Hi Abhilash,
In both the cases you mentioned the a single truck will start from manufacturing location A and will serve both the depot and the consignee.
Both the cases can be handled in a same manner, but my ques is in first case against the STO of 25 tons, will the depot be receiving 15 tons only or he'll receive whole 25 tons and then issue 10 tons out of it for the sales order, coz sales order is from depot so the manufacturing plant can not serve the consignee.
See in my opinion, in both the case you'll create 1 shipment against the STO of 25 tons and the shipment cost against it will cover the freight cost of moving the stocks from manufacturing location to the depot, and the other shipment will be against the sales order of 10 tons, and the shipment cost against it will cover the freight cost for moving the stocks from depot to the consignee.
reward, if helpful.

Issue is of Assignment Cost Accounting in Shipment Cost Document.

Issue is of Assignment Cost Accounting in Shipment Cost Document.
We are trying and unable to load the freight cost incurred on
transporting the material on its cost itself along with all the
required FI Entry.
For Eaxample :
We are moving moving Goods of 100 $ in value from Plant to Depot.
Trasnportation cost in this activity is 20$.
We want to add this 20 $ at material cost i.e. material valued at Plant
is of 100 $ and same material valued at Depot should be 120$ Instead of
just 100 $.
Its an Urgent Issue and we seek your assistance in resolving it.

Rail Car shipments and Shipment Cost Document

Hi all,
We have a rail car shipments scenario. We wanted to include the freight forwarder in the shipment cost document. The FF is not one of the carriers in the route stages ( hence they are not coming the shipment cost document) but they so some sort of documentation for which we pay them . The logistics department wanted the FF to come in the shipment cost document. At which stage of the rail car shipment /routes we can enter them so that a SCD will be created for this.

hi,
because there is no any T.code whic SAP has provided on the same.
you can use BATCH JOBS for your requriment.
other wise this is a major ENHANCEMENT.
you need to catch hold of BAPI & develop a Z screen for your requriment and do it.

Shipment and Shipment Cost

dear All,
While creating Shipment I noticed that the same delivery can be refernced multiple times i.e. the same delivery can be used to create multiple shipments.How to reolve this problem.
Secondly while creating shipment cost I find that Net Value is zero and hence no Acctg.Doc is getting created.
What is the problem.
Please HELP.
Regards.
Saurav M

Hi Saurav,
It depends on how you define the shipment types for the shipment. If you create shipment using shipment type that has multiple leg, then you can create multiple shipment for the same delivery. However, if you create shipment using shipment type like direct, or return leg, you can only create one shipment for the delivery. The Transportation Planning Status on the delivery header (under Transport tab, on the overview screen) is set based on the leg determination logic that you configure for the shipment type.
For more information, you can go to a delivery using VL03N, then press F1 on the field for help.
Hope this help you solve the problem.

Freight cost in a purchase order when generating automatic freight cost

Hi Experts,
when i generate automaticly a Purchase Order whith a freight cost, in the PO it keeps the first freight in the Item Overview.
When it generate more freight cost in the same PO, the first Freight Cost stay in the Item Overview, and the freight cost is increasing in the Item : PO History. right.
Is it possible to remove the first entry from the Item Overview or put the total of the freight cost who are incresing in the PO??
Thanks in advance.
Dom.

Hi dev,
We did something similar last week. To charge the freight cost to the receiving party we did a manual service entry sheet for that.
We created a separate Po with Transport vendor and the receiving plant and account type is Z shipment costing and service item description as intercompany freight.
You will specify the limit of the amount here, and specify the G/L account here. Now create the service entry sheet withthe freight amount and settle.
I think you can follow the similar thing with additional lines for your requirement for other charges.
Since we want let the receiving plant pay the freight we didn't create the shipment cost document of LE-TRA.
Let see if any other suggestions comes.

Inbound Logistics: What are the best options to capture freight costs?

We attempted to implement a freight payables solution which was built on Inbound Deliveries> Inbound Shipments> Inbound Shipment Cost Documents. The PO line items were flagged with a conf.control key which made the above inbound documents relevant.
Very long story short, we had to remove this functionality because of two major issues:
1.     The Inbound Deliveries were created with incorrect quantities some of the time. When the Inbound Deliveries were created with incorrect quantity those errors caused major problems (e.g., over accrual of freight cost to the tune of several millions of dollars!!!).
2.     Also, when the Inbound Deliveries were created with incorrect quantity MRP went berserk (e.g., when the IB delivery has the wrong quantity that shows up in MD04 and the planners are left scratching their heads wondering why the supplier is shipping so much or so little).
I wonu2019t get into the details of how the Inbound Deliveries were being created but suffice to say they were manually entered by the supplier without the benefit of an EDI transaction- it was more of a manual entry- hence the data accuracy problem.
The point of this post is to gain feedback from other customers who have implemented an inbound freight payables solution with success & understand what processes were used to make your project successful.
For example, if I had a u201Cwish listu201D Iu2019d request the following:
1.     The IB delivery document type Iu2019d like to use should be non-MRP relevant. This will eliminate the confusion that occurred when planners run MD04 and see all of the shipment notifications. Also, if the MIGO_GR transaction is used to receive the POu2019s, they will see the quantities on the PO, not on the IB delivery. This would be good for us from a business continuity stand point. However, if the IB delivery is not MRP relevant, than your GR does not accrue the freight cost defined on the SCD which short circuits the entire point of having these documents.
u2022     Q: Have you had any success implementing an IB freight solution with minimum impact to planning / inventory / operations?
2.     As mentioned above, the data accuracy of the IB delivery was problematic. Because of this issue we have changed our thinking so that we would require a EDI ASN to be sent from our supplier to our SAP system. Using EDI we feel that greater accuracy would be obtained since the quantities defined would map to what is being picked or at least aligned with what we would expect to be invoiced for. The problem is we donu2019t know how EDI capable our suppliers are.
u2022     Q: Has anyone had success implementing this with your suppliers on a large scale?
3.     Are there other inbound freight payment solutions that Iu2019m not thinking about u2013 custom or other that you have implemented & can share some of the specifics about? Iu2019d enjoy hearing about them. Since we are re-thinking what we implemented Iu2019m open to any suggestions.
Thanks so much for your time!

Chandra,
Thank you for your reply. I'm aware of the freight condition approach you suggest & the ability to define the carrier in the freight condition.
We explored this functionality in the past. The problem/limitations we've experienced were as follows:
1. Essentially you have to know your freight cost & the carrier by PO line item at the time the PO is created. Both of these variables we typically cannot predict in our environment.
2. We have a lot of situations where the PO is considered a u201Cblanketu201D where it will remain open for a month up to a year. Knowing the entire freight cost for these PO's once they are created is impossible to predict so to support the freight conditions we would have to change our business process which would be a big effort for our organization.
3. Our suppliers ship product based on multiple PO's / PO lines, again it is impossible to predict what the per unit freight cost would be at the time a PO is generated.
These factors are what led us to the IB delivery solution which handles each one of these scenarios quite well provided you have good data when the IB delivery is created.
Regarding your second post: Thanks! This information is helpful.
Sincerely,
Rich Wortmann
