What is shipment cost, where to enter it

What is shipment cost, where to enter in which document & how it is getting calculated

Hello Prem,
Shipment cost is calculated in the Shipment cost document. This document is a follow up of the Shipment document. In order to determine shipment costs, you need to do following settings:
1). Determinaion of Shipment cost type on the basis of shipment type.
2). Assign the Shipment cost type to Item Categories.
3). Define the shipment cost relevance for shipment types.
4). Set up the pricing. Define Condition table with Forwarding agent. Maintain Access sequence and condition type.
5). Finally maintain a Pricing procedure and a Pricing Procedure determination.
Pricing procedure is determined for each Transportation planning point. It is based on the following values:
a). Item determination group : Assigned to Item category.
b). Service agent Procedure Group : Assigned to the forwarding agent (which is maintained as a Vendor).
c). Shipment type group : assigned to the shipment type.
After you have configured all these, make the Shipment document relevant for costing (at header or stage level). Assign the forwarding agents. Now though transaction Vi01, you will be able to create a shipment cost document.
Please ask in case you have any doubts.
Regards,
Ankur

  • VI01(shipment cost)

    hi to all..!
    can any one help me on "shipment cost"...(VI01)? what exactly shipment cost ? how it will work?
    thanks
    rodick

    Hi,
      Let me explain with eg:
    Company have the plant in US & their Canada customer (all partner functions r same)places order for goods.
    Now the goods has to be delivered from US to Canada.
    in this case, Incoterms will play the key role, how the goods has to be delievered?
    Say goods flow will be through "Sea" way- from US port to Canada port.
    Transporation steps:-
    1-goods has to be moved from US plant to US port
    2-from US port to Canada port
    3-from Canada port to Customer
    transportation 1 will be bare by the comp
    2&3 will by customer.
    where company will deliver the goods from US port to Canada port
    company will take service from the 3rd party(vendor/forwarding agent)
    to deliver the goods to Canada port & the this charge will be
    collected from customer & paid to the vendor.
    while creating delivery- will assign the vendor name
    in delivery header - partners tab ( if th vendor isnt same always)
    will create the delivery. Before PGI will create shipment
    doc(VT01n) means deliveries will be collected which flows
    from the same shipment mode like sea.
    Service PO - ML81N has to generate for this vendor- this is an
    agreement with the vendor for one year.
    Service PO 12 line items indicates each per month.
    Condition record will be captured/copied from Cond master data
    maintianed in Tcode:TK11- based on transportation zone basis.
    then shipment cost document -VI01 will create with ref to
    the shipment document & its specific to the vendor.
    once save the shipment cost document,service acceptance-SES doc will generate
    and released to FI.
    Now, we have to do MIRO-Vendor invoice verification-
    once invioce verified - amount will be settled to the vendor
    this is nothing but frieght amount incurred to transport the
    goods to the customer.
    when creating billing doc- this freight amount will be charged from the customer.
    this is the std transportation flow.
    Hope it clears.

  • Shipment cost in stock transfer order

    Hi all,
    I use the stock tranfer order process SD/MM. I need the transfer of shipment costs as delivery costs happens with the goods issue in transaction VL02N, instead goods receipt. Anybody could help me?
    Thanks.
    Sérgio Moraes

    For freight cost to be transfered as delivery cost, the STO need to have a freight condition with zero value. Also the freight condition need to have indicator set in config for 'copy shipment cost'. Once this is set up and shipment cost document created, do PGI and it should create a DCGR document in STO history.
    The above solution give by you. I have similar problem, it will help me.
    My business scenario is, i will create the inbound delivery with reference PO. After that i will create the shipment and shipment cost document. I will do the PGR.
    Where i need to maintain the freight condition with zero value.
    How system will copy the shipment costs in to delivery costs. My requirement is i want to add the shipment costs in to delivery costs. Posting should be in inventory account.
    freight condition need to have indicator set in config for 'copy
    Shipment cost' where we can do this setting. please explain.
    Sir, this is critical issue in my project. please help me.

  • Delivery costs:Conditioning GR according to shipment cost document

    Hello all,
    In case I want the delivery costs to come from the shipment cost document, I have to use the correct confirmation control key and the correct condition type in the PO.
    Also, I need to have a relevant shipment cost document so that the system will know from where to take the costs.
    My question is this:
    Is there a way to customize the system so that if no such relevant shipment cost document exists,
    I won't be able to perform GR?
    Please advice.
    Regards,
    Dikla

    Hi Gaurav,

  • Shipment Cost - ERS (Evaluated receipt settlement)

    Hi,
    We are using Shipment cost documents to calculate the customer freight.
    In shipment cost document, we need to transfer the amount to accounting.
    In that case system will create PO automatically. This is all good.
    Now, We need to activate ERS for all the vendors, in that case when we transfer the shipment costs to accounting, system is asking to enter Tax code.
    We are not using Tax determination at all in shipment cost document.
    Can't we use ERS without Tax code?
    Where does this Tax code come from into shipment costing document? is it through Tax determination condition technique?
    is there any way we can deactivate Tax code?
    Please suggest.
    Thanks.

    Hi Sandra,
    For such issues there is a pro-active approach by way of tolerances in MM-LIV. If your tolerances are configured properly, the system won't go so far as posting an invoice in ERS. It would show you a red flag by raising an exception.
    ERS as a functionality entirely depends on the PO prices. There is no check as in the conventional LIV. Thus, I am afraid you won't have an audit trail straightforward.

    Vishal.

    For Standard Materials, Tax code is defaulting from Info record.
    As freight is a service, we only have Short text in the PO not the material.
    Is there any way i can create info record for service materials? so that i can enter tax code in info record and that defaults into PO.
    Thanks.

  • Getting error while creating shipment cost document

    I have created STO then made delivery and then shipment. All documents are ok but when i m creating Shipment Cost document

    Hi
    On double clicking on the item level, respective item details of the material is displayed and then click SHIFT+ F6 to see the COSTCENTER in the shipement cost document.
    Configuration:
    1) In Item category configuration account assigment category is Cost Center.
    Logistics Execution>Transportation>Shipment Costs>Shipment Cost Document>Shipment Cost Types and Item Categories-->Define item categories
    2) In the Transaction code OKB9 Costcenter is assigned to the company code , in order to automate the determination of CO assignments in case of Shipment cost document creation

  • Freight capitalization for STO process using shipment cost document

    Dear MM experts
    I have been testing and trying to charge freight to material using transportation module. I know how to do it in simple STO process without SCD (shipment cost document) but I am not able to do it with SCD.
    I have searched and tried every link I found on SCN. Unfortunately there are many open threads and non of them is answered or giving complete solution. For example I have tried this link where Ajit Kumar has explained the scenario in detail I am but unable to achieve my result. I have also tried other links and SAP note 427944 as well.
    Now what thing confusing me is accounting entries and documents/steps where these accounting entries will be posted.
    My current process is like this in plant to plant transfer under same company code
    STO > OBD > Shipment Document > PGI > Accouting Entry with 641 movement type. Material account debit and same account credit. > Shipment Cost document > GR with 101 without any accounting entry > Transfer freight cost to FI using Freight Service PO determination > Accounting Entry Freight Outward Expense Debit and Freight Clearing Account Credit > MIRO > Accounting Entry Freight Clearing Debit and Vendor Credit
    As you can see we are booking freight as an expense and not charging to material. Now what I want is that freight should be charged to material. If I am sending material from plant P000 to plant P201 under same comapny code then freight charges should be added in material cost in plant P201.
    I have done FRB1 condition type with accrual and copy shipment cost tick mark and other stuff suggested in all those threads but it is not working.
    My requirement is to understand the points where and what accounting entries will be created as per my new scenario which is same as old one except one difference which is to charge freight to material instead of booking expense in freight service PO.
    Lets take an example that material cost price is 100 and freight charges is 50. Now as per old threads at the time of GR against OBD system will create accounting document with 150 debiting the stock in plant P201. What about credit? If we have added freight here then what about 2nd accounting entry in my first scenario in which freight expense is debited and clearing account is credited? Could anyone please explain accounting entries and points where these entries will be posted?
    Another thing is that is it only possible with moving average price to charge freight to material or can we do this with standard price as well using some standard or customized solution?
    Detailed and easy to understand answer will be highly appreciated.
    Thank$

    Hi Moazzam ;
    Firstly, you can benefit Badi/s in package VTRA which is given belowed.
    Secondly , i think that  shipping method --> create sto with delivery --> create shipment document and shipment cost document (problem is starting so system will be create PO and service entry sheet automatically , can you try shipment document is non-related with cost document.
    Thirdly , you can post invoices charge to material with miro , if you success to direct freight costs to stock account (BSX).
    Also , you can benefit doc. sap behaviours for Std price/ Map --> Planned & unplanned delivery costs in mm
    I hope , you can manage your process ; for me standart way is the best.

  • Error while creating shipment cost

    Good morning,
    I'm trying the solve an issue when we create a shipment cost.
    I get the following error when trying to transfer the cost "No purchase order item was generated for shipment cost item" / "in case of evaluated receipt setlement, please enter a taks code."
    We are working with automatic creation of PO but for one supplier it is not working. I already compared master data of other suppliers but don't see the issue.
    What can be the issue? At what transaction the Po is generated?
    Thanks for feedback

    Hi,
       The tax code is mandatory because of the ERS indicator in vendor master. You can find the ERS indicator in MK02 - Purchasing data.
       If the ERS is flagged in vendor master, you need to maintain the tax code in the PO. Since the PO is created from SCD, you can maintain the condition record for input tax condition type in VT11 along with the tax code as shown below:
       Maintain the same and test the scenario again. Revert back if its not solved.

  • Shipment cost issue

    Dear all,
    I want to do Stock transfer process between 2 company codes, and Transpotartion Planning Point is Receving CCode.
    So, when i create Shipment cost, there is an error:
    Company codes are different: Delievery 2620/0080000228 shipment 6620/0000001188
    Message no. VY012
    Diagnosis
    A delivery is assigned to a different company code than the shipment to be calculated.
    This is not allowed if the costs are to be distributed at the level of delivery or delivery item.
    System Response
    Account assignment and settlement is not possible for this shipment cost item.
    Procedure
    If you want to carry out settlement for this shipment, then the costs can only be carried out at the shipment cost item level.
    Delete the shipment cost item.
    Create a new shipment cost item for this shipment or shipment stage with another shipment cost item category.
    Im Customizing, cost apportionment 'A' should be entered for this category.
    Ofcouse i know the problem.
    In the Configuration for Item Category - Settlement, i set:
    Cost dist.: C  Delivery item, ... Origin CO: C Sequence: Delivery, order, G/L account
    If i change to value A - Shipment cost item, it'll be OK. But in other client, value C is OK.
    Pls tell me what is wrong?
    Thanks alot,
    Quanglv

    Hi Quang,
    The company check is standard in the shipment costing in SAP.
    However, if cross-company settlement for shipment costing is required, then you would need to look into the following SAP Note:
    [SAP Note 963452|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=963452]
    [SAP Note 699343|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=699343]
    The error message resulting from the check would need to be surpressed, and standard system modification would be required to achieve cross-company shipment costing.
    Please be informed that this modification would not be supported by SAP.  You may want to check with ThanhCT on this.
    Hope the above helps.
    Thanks.

  • Shipment costs and storage locations

    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
    Alicia

    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.
    use the user exit MM06E005
