Transportation Cost Calculation

Hello folks,
I have a question here with respect to calculation of shipment costs for the different deliveries from different orders into one shipment cost document.
The scenario is: my client has different projects going on simultaneously from which they have to create various activities/sales orders, deliveries are created with respect to these activities/sales orders and clubbed into one single shipment document. Assuming there are 05 deliveries assigned to one single shipment document and hence shipment cost is also calculated for this shipment document.
Now how can we distribute the shipment cost to these different cost objects (WBS element/cost centre) individually so that correct cost of the project or sales order can be captured.
Thanks,
Michael

Hi,
On T-code T_56 on Settlement section for the item category you need to distribute, go to Cost distribution and select "B Delivery" and Account Assigment "K Cost Center".
This may let you distribute the cost by each delivery.

Transportation cost calculation based on the Shipment duration

Dear all members,
Now I work on the IS-Oil system. I try to calculate the shipment cost for the shipment duration.
1. The requirement here is when we complete the delivery confirmation (shipment status is 6), the system doesn't calculate the actual total duration of this shipment. I saw there is a field for total duration in the TD shipment (in the Maintain Stages tab), but it is blank. Do you know how to config this system so that it can auto update this field?
2. I want to calculate this shipment cost base on this shipment duration. Do you know which condition type or how to customize the condition type so that we can calculate the shipment base on the shipment duration? I try to work with Scale technique, it works when I set the price for 9999 day. But it doesn't make sense if the customer asks us the reason why we need scale for this problem. This problem seems to be very simple, I want to maintain condition record for 1 truck of 1 vendor, the price will be 50 USD/ day for this truck. And the shipment cost document must get the (shipment duration) * (50 USD).
Thanks in advance!

Hi Thado
You need a have routine on the shipment cost document pricing procedures condition type, there you need to get the actual shipment start date and end date which are available in Shipment status, and condition value can be calculated from there based on Number of Days *eg 500.
Thanks

Transportation Cost( vi01)

Hi Friends
1.How the Transportation cost posting to the accountings?
2.we created single shipment document for maltipul deliveries(3) the shipment cost document is 6000/-. can we divided this 6000/- to each sales order or delivery?
EX: 6000/3: 2000/- like
If Yes, what is the process.
3.In sales order we taken KF00 fright condition the condition amount is 1000/-. ok, with this fright condition can we create shipment cost document for this 1000/-?
If Yes, what is the process.
and can we create shipment cost document manuvaly?How?

Hi Lakshmipathi!
Thank you for your answer, but I´m still having some questions:
Where do I have to load the USD 500 amount ? In the sales order?
I have to put several sales orders / deliveries into the transportation document, so I donu2019t know whatu2019s the amount for each sales order / delivery at the moment of creation of each document.
In addition, I have information of the transportation document that modifies the calculation of the expense of freight. At the moment I create the sales order, I do not have the cost of freight.
That´s why I have to calculate everything when I create the document with transaction VI01. In this moment, I have the whole information.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

How to define routes for freight cost calculation

Hi,
in our company we plan to use LE-TRA Transport with Freight costs calculation. To use Transport it is a must to maintain routes in all sales orders/deliveries. Currently we do not use it and now we have the challenge to define routes and later due to freight costs calculation Stages. There are different solutions for routes. In some other companys we have only routes dependent on the Transit duration, but that's all. They don't use stages and they don't use freight cost calculation in SAP.
As I know routes should describe geographical locations (The way location A till location B). Based on the route we have a defined stage with a distance, shipping type.... That would mean for a company: They need to analyse all delivery channels with different forwarding agents and so on. Is that possible when the forwarding agent is responsible for scheduling? That means for a company with customer around the world thousands of routes?
Alternatively it is possible to create stages in the transport documents. Is that more recommendable? It would be nice, when someone could post his experience with that topic.
Thank you,
Raphael

Hi Luis,
thank you for the response. My problem is not the technical view. I know how to create the routes and what kind of information I need. The problem is to unterstand how this concept can operate in practise in a company with many different customer.
The following site describes the concept of routes in SAP:
http://blog.tkreddy.com/2010/09/17/understanding-the-concept-of-routes-le-shp-in-sap-ecc-6-0/
A company with many delivery plants and customer around the world needs to forward all delivery channels they have to us, A route describes an area and includes stages with location A and B. The stages are assigned to a forwarding agend. Based on that information I can start a freigt cost calculation. The structure of stages and routes also depends on the situation how many different forwarding agents are involved in a delivery process.
In my opinion it is really a big effort to find a reliable solution for the amount of routes and stages. I am thinking about to use the solution to create the stage manually in the transport document and to use the routes to describe the transit time.

Shipment cost calculation - configuration problem

hello all
we are implementing the shipment cost calculation system and so far configured only 1 service agent .
the problem regarding scenarios that the shipment executed by service agents that is not configured in
the system but the invoicing party is the one ( SA) that we configured .
( the SA that is configured in the system is charging us for the shipments of the
SA that is not configured. )
how can i get the shipment cost document to open for the invoicing party ( the one that we configured )
but still leave the shipment under the origin service agent ( the one that isn't configured ) ?
Regards ,
ASA .

Hi ,
sorry, i wasn't precise :
i need to open a service entry whose based on po in order to forward to financial accounting .
( its a separate po that isn't part of the inbound or outbound process and i open it for SA x )
Y and X are differnt transportation companys but i have some cases that SA x is charging me
for the shipment of SA y.
the transportaion agent in VT01N is SA y and there for the shipment cost document opens for SA y and
looks for po for SA y .
i have to direct the system ( by some user exit / badi ) to seek for the po of SA x ( the one whose
charging me for the shipment ) .
hope this help explain my problem ,
Regards ,

STO-PO (How to pay transportation cost to vendor)

Dear sir ,
I am doing u2013 STO without delivery.
1)     Made STO-PO , inserted conditions , price entered there.(That is transportation cost of vendor)
Que- Where to put vendor in STO-PO??
2)     MIGO_GI (351)
3)     MIGO (101)
4)     Que-Shall we do MIRO??
5)     How we will pay to then vendor??
Please guide me.
Regards,
MAhesh.

Hi,
When you decided go for STO without delivery, why & how delivery/ transport cost will be there!
Go for Stock Transport Order with Delivery via Shipping where one plant(supplier) as vendor & another plant (receiving) as customer.
To capture transport cost in separate G/L, go to transport condition type in t.code:M/06 ,go to details & select accrual flag in control data 2 TAB & select delivery cost(B) in condition category in contorl data 1 segment and save.In calculation schema for STO in t.code: M/08 keep accrual key for the transport condition type and in OBYC, assign accrual key with your transport G/L account.
During creation of STO assign transport vendor to the transport condition type in the STO PO in receiving plant, Delivery receiving plant,PGI receiving plant and then goods receipt in receiving plant.
Now do MIRO for delivery/ transport vendor.
More details suitable to you, just check

Capture Transport cost in material overhead

Hello
How can we capture item's transportation cost in material overheads element while working in Average costing enviroment?
Thanks
Anshuj Rathi

Hi,
There are 3 important parts of the costing sheet - Base, OHrow and CR key.
The cost element assignment to the material cost whatever you have talked about comes as part of the Base.
For this base, you have define the OH rows applicable defining the rate of OH rate applicable - KZZ1
In the credit key you have to give the cost center where the postings will go - KZE1.
Then in the costing sheet, give these OH rows, CR keys applicable and the base row for which it is applicable.
Now the OH costs will be calculated correctly.
Good Luck!!!!
Thanks and Regards,

Transport cost's

Hi all,
I need to pick up the transport costs
relaeted to every stage:
I mean,is it possible to calculate de cost and tranport time   from one stage to another.
Lets say,I have in one route 4 stages,could I see   the time of the transport from one to another and the cost?
Thanks in advance and best regards

Hi
Please follow instructions from note 840007
For the above-mentioned requests, special scale bases were set up in the
shipment cost processing:
    o Transaction T_06: Maintain all mandatory fields in the
       corresponding condition type as usual.
    o Now go to the 'Scales for conditions' screen.
       1) To determine the total duration, enter the following in the
       'Ref' column
          Scale base T0 (according to F4 help).
       2) To determine the travel time, enter the following in the 'Ref'
       column
         Scale base T1 (according to F4 help).
       3) To determine the queue time, enter the following in the 'Ref'
       column
       Scale base T2 (according to F4 help).
    o Save this entry and go back to the Conditions Overview; now there
       is a 'T' (=multidimensional) in the 'Calculation type' field and
       in the 'Matrix maintenance' field, there is a '1'
                                                                 Page 2
       (1-dimensional). This is necessary so that the corresponding
       shipment cost specific functions will run.
    o Now save the condition overview as well.
    o Transaction VS01: Now maintain a scale with
       1) Scale base = 'T0' (Tab title 'Scale') and
          Calculation type = 'T0' (Tab title 'Calculatn')
       2) Scale base = 'T1' (Tab title 'Scale') and
          Calculation type = 'T1' (Tab title 'Calculatn')
       3) Scale base = 'T2' (Tab title 'Scale') and
          Calculation type = 'T2' (Tab title 'Calculatn')
       and define the scale values.
    o Transaction TK11: Assign the scale of your condition type that
       you have just created, maintain the freight rates and save the
       condition record(s).
During the shipment cost calculation, the time-related condition should
be calculated.
Note: to receive a result < > 0, you must maintain the above-mentioned
fields in the shipment; in this case header-relevant and item-relevant
shipment costs (KOSTY = A   B) are distinguished between and the
corresponding fields are used in the shipment (VTTK~ or VTTS~).

Transportation costing : costing on header level, item/stage conditions

Hello,
I am hoping that someone can help me with an issue in shipment transportation costing. At present, we would like to cost a number of conditions on the stage level, but have the cost show on the shipment header. The problem I have is that I do not know how to transfer the cost from the item level to the shipment level. The problem I have are
1 The forwarding agent is charging us based on the most expensive tariff zone that we visit. For example, we have a shipment that visit the following tariff zone in the following order (stages)
Delivery 1 Zone 1 30 euros
Delivery 2 Zone 2 50 euros
Delivery 3 Zone 3 - 100 euros
Delivery 4 Zone 2 50 euros
Delivery 5 Zone 1 30 euros
The forwarding agent would charge us 100 euros for the journey. The problem is that on the shipment header level, the system is taking the last visited tariff zone as the journey cost, and not the most expensive. While I could cost it per stage, the calculation is incorrect, as it is 30 + 50 + 100 + 50 + 30 = 260 euros. Is there a way to cost each stage (shipment item) but only transfer the most expensive cost on to the shipment header level and make it valid for costing?
2 Some deliveries will require a special truck, and we are charged extra for this by the forwarding agent. The indicator to use this is captured on a delivery. However, I would like to cost this on the shipment header level, and not on the shipment item level. This is to ensure that it is costed only once per shipment. For example, if we have the following deliveries in a shipment and we are charged an extra 50 euros for the use of a truck with the special equipment, the cost would be
Delivery 1 < - Special equipment
Delivery 2 <- Normal
Delivery 3 < - Special equipment
Delivery 4 <- Normal
Delivery 5 <- Normal
Normal rate + 50 euros, and NOT Normal rate + 50 euro + 50 euros. The problem is that if I cost this on shipment stage / item level, the cost appears twice. Is there anyway to capture the cost in stage level, pass it on to the header only once?
Any ides?

Dear Abdul,
1.What is the basis of tariff is it 100 EUR per which unit of measure. Pls clarify.
2You can cost it at shipment cost item level also at the cal base in condition type. I presume there is one shipment cost item leg for all these deliveries.

Jatinder

Shiment Cost Calculation Rules

Hi Gurus
Can you please provide me details of configuring Shipment Cost Calculation Rules?
Thank You

Hi Brajesh,
Is the following rules you are expecting?
Determining the Calculation Basis
Use
The origin of the data upon which a condition type is based during shipment costing determines the calculation basis. During shipment costing, the system determines the shipment cost items from the different calculation bases for the condition types of a pricing procedure. Shipment costing itself is carried out for each sub-item.
Prerequisites
You must maintain a suitable calculation base in the definition for the condition type in Customizing.
If you select handling units as the calculation basis, you must also specify the packaging material type so that only the relevant handling units are used for shipment cost calculation.
Features
The calculation bases are determined during shipment costing for a shipment cost item on the basis of the settings made in the condition type.
During pricing, the calculation base influences
The condition types to be considered for each sub-item
The information available for determination of the conditions
All condition bases contain information from the shipment header or shipment stage, as well as from the shipment cost item. This information includes service agents, geographical information (point of departure and destination) and shipping type, for example.
How the scale base types (gross weight, net weight and volume) are calculated
The following types of calculation bases are possible:
Deliveries
If condition types with this calculation base exist in the pricing procedure, then the system creates a shipment cost sub-item for every relevant delivery.
No information from the delivery items (such as materials) or the handling units is available.
The scale base types (gross weight, net weight, volume) refer to the corresponding information from the delivery headers.
Delivery items
If condition types with this calculation base exist in the pricing procedure, then the system creates shipment cost sub-items for every relevant delivery item.
Information from the delivery header and the relevant delivery item is available. There is no information from the handling units, however.
The scale base types (gross weight, net weight, volume) refer to the corresponding information from the delivery items.
Group of Handling Units
If condition types with this calculation base exist in the pricing procedure, then the system creates shipment cost sub-items for the sum of all identical handling units with the relevant packaging material type (also specified in the condition type).
There is no information from the deliveries or the delivery items available.
The scale base types (gross weight, net weight, volume) refer to the corresponding cumulated information from the relevant handling units.
Shipment cost item
If condition types with this calculation base exist in the pricing procedure, then the system creates exactly one shipment cost sub-item.
There is no information from the deliveries, the delivery items or the handling units.
The scale base types (gross weight, net weight, volume) refer to the corresponding information from the relevant delivery headers.
Per handling unit
This calculation basis corresponds to the calculation basis handling units, with the only difference that each handling unit is calculated individually. This calculation base is necessary for shipping packages, for example.
Handling unit including delivery item
If condition types with this calculation basis exist in the pricing procedure, then the system creates a shipment cost sub-item for every packaged delivery item and handling unit (per combination of delivery item and handling unit). Shipment costs are therefore calculated with content depending on the handling unit.
All of the information from the handling units and delivery items is available.
The scale basis types (gross weight, net weight, volume) refer to the gross weight of a handling unit per delivery item.
All
You can use this calculation base if, for example, you want to define a discount that applies to both delivery-related and handling unit-related shipment prices. A condition type with this calculation base can be used for every shipment cost sub-item.
Several calculation bases may be used within a shipment cost item. In performing a shipment comparison, for example, the calculation could be performed using two calculation bases. You could then compare the results. See also Shipment Comparisons.
For system load and clarity reasons, we recommend selecting a calculation base that is only as detailed as absolutely necessary. For example, if only the total weight and the transportation leg are relevant, the calculation base for shipment cost items is sufficient. However, you can still distribute the costs in greater detail. The cost distribution is independent of the calculation base. For example, you can calculate shipment costs using the calculation basis for shipment cost items and distribute the costs at delivery item level. The system weights the costs and distributes them accordingly.
When defining the condition tables in Customizing (Logistics Execution ® Transportation ® Shipment Costs ® Pricing ® Pricing Control ® Define price dependencies (condition tables), you should make sure that information is not available for every field - depending upon calculation base. If, for example, you select the field Incoterms for a condition table when condition types with the calculation basis Handling units exist in the pricing procedure, there can be no information on Incoterms for the corresponding sub-item. This means that no condition records will be found for this key. For further information on the role of the condition table in pricing, see Condition Tables.
Please let me know your thoughts.

Bom Component qty & WIP Quantity differ at Trget cost calculation

Dear gurus,
i am facing the problem with WIP at target cost calculation in REM.
My issue is
BOM Component qantity is 9.524 TO and price is 2000 then total cost is 9.521*2000=19048.
but in WIP Report kkas in WIP explation it takes input qty 9.52 T0 and price 2000 then total price is 19040.
Difference is 19048 - 19040 =8
and also when i am issuing actual qty i.e 9.524 in BOM then my price is 19048.00 ant at time of variance calculaton then quantaty variance as 9.52.0-9.524.0=-0.04 then 0.004*2000 =-8
Please suggest solution for this.
Any OSSS NOTE Required
any Quires please revert back
REGARDS
Avinash.pegarlawar

Hi
Rounding differences between target and actual values and quantities are not unlikely to occur and cannot always be avoided but can be minimized.
Small prices and price unit of 1 are likely to cause more of these rounding differences..
The actual credit is simply calculated as price * quantity. The target credit however is calculated during the variance calculation
and based on the sum of all items in the itemization/cost components of the cost estimate and therefore more accurate.
To avoid this I suggest to store the material price with a larger price unit, i.e. 1000
Std cost release stores price upto 2 decimals and target cost calculation goes upto 3 decimals...
Please check also the note 1265918 for more information to this topic.

Transportation cost before the reception of the material in MIGO (Stock in transit)

Does it exist a way to make a reception of materials in transit and post the transportation cost before the reception of the material in MIGO ?
The material is own of company before to be receipt in plant. We need to pay the transportation before that material is arrived at plant.
As the value is an important cost, we need that this cost be linked with the cost of the material. We can put a condition, but it does not work if the material in not receipt in MIGO. We can enter a subsequent debit memo, but the invoice of the reception should be enter in the system and by the way the reception too. So how should we process to link the transportation cost with the material if this material is not received at plant and by the way in MIGO.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
As of my knowledge, system will allow to process the shipment document - create shipment cost document and vendor invoice also, even before doing GR for the PO. Please check the scenario and revert back if you are getting any error.
If you want the shipment cost as delivery cost, refer the note: 427944 - Info: Shipment costs as delivery costs during goods receipt

How to raise PO for a material with transport cost but no material cost?

Hi experts,
My client wants to raise a PO in SAP for a material that will be purchased free of cost.
He only wants to invoice the vendor for delivery/transport costs.
Now, as I see it, a free-of-cost PO is not possible because it does not allow adding any pricing conditions. May be I am not aware of some tweak that is available.
Please provide your help on this. Thank you.

Hello,
Firstly Prepare a Po with a line item that you want, then chick the Free check box.
then go to the Item tab (below), go to conditions & add freight (Freight % or Freight (Value) ) with the required amount.
you can change the Assignment from the Vendor to a Transporter / Freight forwarder, that you want.
That is it. you will have a Po with no Commercial Value but just Transport Cost.
Thanks & Regards,
Atul Sabnis
