Hi Paul,
When we create a delivery we just issue the goods from plant (the process of releasing the goods from storage location) we only release the goods from plant but not physically deliver it;
As long as the customer is going to pick up the goods from you plant its fine.
But not always would the customer gets his deliveries picked up from the seller. In fact it is a usual practice for the seller to deliver the goods right to the customers Door Step.
To enable this we need to carry the goods to customer door step.
Now as should happen logically if a truck is going from point A to point B to deliver Customer X for say delivery number 999. we would like to combine all other deliveries (say delivery 999, 123, 567 all are due from Route A to B) which are due for the path A to B this reduces cost.
So Shipment ABC will contain Delivery 999, 123, 567 in this case and we end up physically delivering the goods.
The process of combining the deliveries in such a manner is what is contained by Shipment Document.
Again if transport is done for Bulk it is called Bulk Shipment for Packed it is called SD Shipment and so on.
But nevertheless the Shipment Document contains the Deliveries which have to be delivered to the customer.
Hope it clarifies to some extent.
Reward if helpful

BUG REPORT: 2 JTextComponents using the same Document

When 2 JTextComponents use the same Document they should show the same.
However when you add them to JTabbedPane to 2 different tabs, one does not show the document correctly, until you resize the window.
Compile and run the code example to see for yourself.
If you append "<first message"> and "<second message>" the first tab will show the correct document:
<first message>
<second message>
But if you then switch to the second tab (do not switch to it earlier), you will see:
<first message><second message>
<second message>
Add some more messages to see the effect and then resize the window to see the problem dissappear magically.

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.

IDoc to Create Shipment Document in SAP

Hi,
I want to create the shipment document in SAP via EDI message from freight forwarder and subsequently update the shipment document(VT02N) statuses via EDI like planned/loaded/shipment end etc....
I am reasearching on the Idoc type for that...I found SHPMNT03 etc could be used to create/change document but I don't know where the Transportation planning point field exists in the Idoc type. Please help me to how could I create the shipment document...
I am able to create the shipment document using TPSSHT01...but not sure whether it would be good as it's used with TPS and we don't have any external TPS. We just want to create shipment document in SAP based on freight forwarder edi messages 856 I believe
I am new to EDI
Thanks
Chil

We used a program to create the IDoc but I don't see a transportation planning point anywhere in it. I think it should be picked up automatically from the deliveries and I wouldn't fixate on that. Here is the code fragment, but you don't need to fill in all those fields:
e1edt20-shtyp = '0003'.
      e1edt20-signi = i_table-route.
      e1edt20-exti1 = i_table-route.
      e1edt20-exti2 = i_table-driver_num.
      e1edt20-tpbez = i_table-driver_name.
      i_edidd-sdata = e1edt20.
      i_edidd-docnum = w_docnum.
      i_edidd-segnam = 'E2EDT20001'.
      APPEND i_edidd.
      e1adrm4-partner_q = 'OTP'.
      e1adrm4-partner_id = '0001'.
      i_edidd-sdata = e1adrm4.
      i_edidd-docnum = w_docnum.
      i_edidd-segnam = 'E2ADRM4001'.
      APPEND i_edidd.
      e1adre4-extend_q = '305'.
      e1adre4-extend_d = '0001'.
      i_edidd-sdata = e1adre4.
      i_edidd-docnum = w_docnum.
      i_edidd-segnam = 'E2ADRE4001'.
      APPEND i_edidd.
    e1edl20-vbeln = i_table-vbeln.
    i_edidd-sdata = e1edl20.
    i_edidd-docnum = w_docnum.
    i_edidd-segnam = 'E2EDL20'.
    APPEND i_edidd.
From what I remember, this IDoc worked rather strangely and I had to fill in some fields for no obvious reason (e.g. both e1edt20-signi and e1edt20-exti1 when SIGNI is really the one we needed). At some point, I just tried filling in all the possible fields to get past errors. Like I said, it just takes some trial and error.
Unfortunately, I don't have access to that system anymore and have no further information. Also we didn't do any shipment changes. You might want to search in ABAP forum. Good luck.

Split a Shipment costs document into several MM document by carrier

Hi gurus,
I am trying to split a Shipment costs document into several MM document by carrier. We need the system to search for an existing MM order if not found create a new one (the system is set to do it by V_TVFT-BESER value A).
I have a route with different stages. These stages/steps have associated different carriers (or partners).
When these data is transferred to MM purchase order the system gives an error with the message no. M7107:
Enter goods receipts for vendor 103962 only
Message no. M7107
The system does the purchase orders but not the 101 movement.
Does someone met this problem before?
I am in 700 SAP version with package 12
Regards.
Mikel

Hi,
Check out BADI BADI_SCD_PO_SELECT. This allows you to control which purchase order is used for shipment costing.

Date Variant for Shipment Cost document archiving

Hii
I want to archive the shipment cost document in my system for a particular date range.
When i go to the transaction SARA and put the object name as SD_ VFKK, it doesnt show me the date variant.
Whereas when i archive shipment(object: SD_VTTK), date variant is available.
Can anyone suggest any kind of setting which needs to be done in order to use the date variant for the object SD_VFKK
Thanks
Gaurav Manocha

Hi Gaurav,
Actually for Object SD_VFKK, when you to transaction code SARA and click on write variant, you dont have date option there. You can archive it only on the basis of Shipement Cost Document number.
If you will give me the details then I can see what you are actully looking for.

Changes log for shipment cost document

Hello all,
We are using shipment cost documents in both inbound and outbound processes, and currently changes in the SCD are not logged anywhere.
How can I keep track after the changes in the SCD?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Dikla

Hi Syed Hussain,
The flag for change documents for the shipments is already set.
My problem is with the shipment cost document and not the shipment it self.
When I create a shipment cost document it reflects in tables CDHDR and CDPOS as changes of the shipment statuses,
but when I change the shipment cost document after the creation - it does not show anywhere.
Are you familiar with a flag like the above, but for shipment cost documents?
Regards,
Dikla

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

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,
what exactly your requirement?
plz specify why you want to relate both the doc's-
for what purpose?
Gavrav,
I have checked Table:VFKP
goto VFKP- enter shipment cost no: XXXXXXXXX
check the details: External Id1 is nothing but your shipment doc number.
Bcoz u create shipment cost doc wrt shipment doc number.
this shipment doc will store in "External ID1" filed in shipment cost doc item level - VFKP table.
check n confirm

Auto creation of Shipment cost document

Hi Folks,
Is anyone aware of how to create a shipment cost document using a function module?
I need to create shipment cost document as well as update the condition values. But all this needs to be done via a BAPI or something in the background.
Thanks,
Mihir

Seen an abaperr and check out the program "RV56TRSL" for your requirement. Through this program, you can Schedule the creation of Shipment cost document.
If you're talking about automatic PO creation then you need to do the following:
1. Assignment with relevant Purchasing org & group will be done at SPRO->LE->Transportation->Shipment cost->settlement->Assign Purchasing data
2. To create the PO automatic you need to do these settings :-
By selecting the shipment cost & item category for automatic PO (T_56) and selected the default PO type for the transaction.
Path :- IMG > Material Mgt. >Purchasing >Define default Values for Document Type.
Path :- IMG >Logixtic Execution >transportation -> Shipment Cost >Ship Cost Document >Shipment Cost Type & Item Category (T_56).
3. Remember to check EKKN which is the table for account assignment in PO.
Good luck

Create purchase order from shipment cost document

Hi Experts,
I would like to know how a purchase order type is linked to a shipment cost document so as to create purchase orders automatically when I do transfer posting to the vendor from the shipment cost document. How system automatically finds out the PO type and creates purchase order.
Thanks,
Emaya

Hi,
Thanks. I have made all those mentioned changes already, and infact I am able to create purchase orders(PO Type NB) automatically when I do transfer posting, but I would like to know, why NB type only? why not some other purchase order types? Suppose if I create a new PO type by copying NB with new number ranges, how to link it to my shipment cost document?
Please comment.

Shipment Cost Document (LE-Transportation)

Hi
After flagging the Transfer check box in the Settlement Tab in item details of shipment cost document(VI03), the Purchase order(ME23N) and Service entry sheet(ML81N) are automatically getting generated. PO and Service entry sheet numbers can be seen in Service Procurement tab.
Question 1: When I separetely look into PO, I am unable trace back the flow. I mean, there is no reference of Shipment cost number in PO.
Question 2: I want the service entry sheet to get on hold/not accepted status so that i can add the list of services performed by the Forwarding agent / service agent mentioned in Shipment cost document.
Question 3: Is there any configuration setting which makes only to create a PO automatically and not the Service Entry sheet ??
Note: This subject is a mix of Transportation (Logistics Execution) and External Service Management (Materials management). The moderator of this forum can take a call on placement of this thread under suitable section.

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:
