ZFR1 condition (Freight % Vendor) - impact in SAP

Hello,
Can somebody explain what is the meaning of ZFR1 condition on PO level?
I have a situation from Controlling point of view. PO was created, fully invoiced and delivered, invoice paied, final invoice set and PO is actually closed/finished. But because of this condition on PO level, this ammount is blocked on Project level as commitment. I need to close the Project and I cannot.
Now I don't know and don't understand what is impact of ZFR1 condition and why is this amount blocking my budget? Any information would be helpful.
Thank you all!
Rodica

As this is a Z condition type, then the impact will be anything for the condition type settings..
But as per description It should be freight (Delivery charges) given to vendor..
Can you check the setting for condition type ZFR1 from M/06.

Inability to assign freight vendor at header condition level

Hello all
We are working on ECC 5.0 but will shortly be moving to ECC 6.0.
We have a scenario where raw materials are purchased from one vendor and delivered by a freight carrier (for which we are liable). To satisfy a Finance requirement to capture freight costs as part of RM valuation, we have created new freight conditions and set them as Header conditions and Group conditions - this allows the freight costs to be set at header level (ie per delivery) and then distributed across several PO items. Provided the freight carrier is defined against the PO freight condition, the freight invoice can then be matched with reference to the original RM PO.
However, we then wish to assign the freight carrier vendor to the freight condition and it appears this is only possible at the item level, which is time-consuming and inefficient if there are a high number of different materials/items on the PO.
I have checked the forums, SAP Notes, Google and even asked SAP - SAP said that it was standard functionality that freight carriers could only be assigned at item level (even though the conditions have been assigned at the header level).
Does anybody know a way of assigning the freight carrier vendor at PO header condition level?
Thanks
Oliver

All
Following the upgrade of our systems from ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0, we now find that a freight vendor can be maintained against the freight header condition record. This means that when the PO is created (relevant for that freight condition), the freight vendor will default against the condition at the header level.
The only problem remains when you wish to change the freight vendor - this still has to be done at the item level but it is an improvement on the ECC 5.0 functionality.

Mass update of freight vendor in PO condition

Dear All,
I need to do mass update the freight vendor in purchase order (vendor code given in the PO planned delivery condition),Is there any way to achieve this instead of doing it manually I mean selecting PO's one by one?Thanks for your advise in advance!
BR,
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
Mass updation of Freight Vendor in Purchase Order is not possible in Standrad. However, you can develop small custom report to update the Freight Vendor against freight condition for Open POs.
Secondly, Maintain Freight condition using condition Record/Access Seq and Specify the Freight Vendor. So that it get automatically picked up for the newly created Purhcase Orders.

Freight vendor updation in GR document through BAPI

Dear All
In my system we are creating Goods Receipt in background through *BAPI BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE*. In my PO we have entered freight condition FRB1 for that PO line item and assigned a vendor code different from material vendor. For this freight condition FRB1 in the configuration we have maintained in Control Data 2 field Vendor in GR as 2 ( i.e. Entry always possible). This will help us to change freight vendor different from freight vendor maintained in PO line item.
Now my query is that how can I achieve this through BAPI BAPI BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE when I am creating GR in background. In which field of BAPI should we pass the freight vendor at the time of GR creation.
Regards
Satish Kumar

Hi Satish,
With standard SAP this is not Possible
As indicated in the attached note 356665, the field SUPPL_VEND has no
function. Please, have a look at this note for further information.
In dialog (with MB01 or MIGO) you have the possibility to enter another
freight vendor different than the vendor in your purchase order (or your
scheduling agreement) as long as you have, in your purchasing condition
type, "Vendor in GR" (V_T685A-BNKWE) maintained with the appropiate
value. Then, by posting the Goods Receipt, you will update EKBZ with
this new freight vendor.
Unfortunately in the standard system this functionality is not available
when working with the BAPI BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE or with the Idoc
WMMBID02.
There is no customizing setting or tool that you could use inside the
standard system to change it.

Purchase order - Freight vendor

Hello guys,
In PO, when we go in price condition details (Freight conditions), we have a field called 'Vendor' in case Freight Vendor is not the Vendor of the PO. Is this field can only be filled manually or is this a way to fill this field automatically?
From my understanding of the coding, this field is directly linked to the field KONV-LIFNR and so it seems that this field is linked to the field Vendor of the price condition.
Let me take an example.
We have defined a price condition with vendor A (freight vendor)
We have created a PO with Vendor B -> As two vendors are not the same, the price condition will not be selected. Is there a way to have vendor + freight vendor in the same access sequence of this price condition?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
You can create a partner role "freight forwarder", for example, so that the freight charges of different carriers or forwarding agents can be taken into account in the purchase price determination process.
If you wish to use partner roles for price determination purposes, SAP provides the enhancement LMEKO001 (customer exit EXIT_SAPLMEKO_001).
For more read the document: [Partner Roles in Purchasing|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/a1/7b373944f7a97ce10000000a114084/content.htm]

Dear Gurujeees,,,
My scenario is ,,
i am purchasing a component from a Vendor "A" and its cost is 75 $ , and i am transporting it with another frieght forwadder Vendor "B". and his cost for transitting is 5 $ .
i have mapped this with SAP by including a Condition Type FRB1 and declaring my Vendor "B" inside this condition detail,
can i do like this for Third party frieght vendor?(Hope this process is rite !!!)
Now the problem is
1.After executing the PO this condition type(FRB1) is also included in Net price ,,,and
total Actual price is coming as 80 $
2.In PO printout for main vendor "A" the frieght condition type is also get printed as 5 $ and total actual cost is coming as 80 $.
I should not want this FRB1 to be included to print in PO and total net value in this po should be printed without this Freight Cost which is for Freight Vendor "B".
How else can i solve this problem?
awarding is sure for fastest and useful ones,,,,

R.Kannan

Stock tra from plant to plant, Freight vendor liability

Hi Sap gurus,
I am doing stock transfer from one plant to other plant. The freight component we want to inventorized. Also we want to create a liability for freight vendor. How this can be done from stock transfer.
Thanks
Cheers

Hi
1) Create a new freight condition type in STO pricing procedure.Ensure that you have created it as Delivery Cost also tick the accruel indicator(Condition category B)
2) Maintain the account key against the freight condition in M/08
3) Maintain the freight clearing account in OBYC against your account key
Note : Accounting entries during Goods issue ( during stock transfer ) will be
Stcok acc Dr ( Recoeving plant)
Stock acc Cr ( Supplying plant)
Freight Clearing account Cr

Invoice Verification for Planned Delivery Cost (Freight Vendor)

Dear all
I have created the PO with vendor A for material M and the freight vendor is B. And now I would like to know invoice posting for vendor A for mateiral M and Vendor B for freight.
During PO creation:
1. I enter the Vendor A for PO.
2. I maintain Freight Condition at the Header Condition. And enter the freight Vendor B for that Condition.
During GR:
1. GR with reference to this PO
During Invoice:
1. MIRO reference to this PO
    (a) To do Invoice for Vendor A, select Goods and Service and post
    (b) Subsequently, MIRO reference PO again, and do invoice for Freight Vendor B, select Planned
         Delivery Cost
Questions:
(a) What is the G/L account posting during GR and Invoice? I am particularly interested in the Invoice G/L account posting for both different vendor, assuming I am using the standard sap Account Determination Setting
(b) Instead of following the above approach to do invoice twice for different vendor A & B, can I first Invoice reference PO for Vendor A, and then subsequently use Subsequent Debit reference PO?
Points will be awarded handsomely.
thanks

Hello
Purchase order: 100 pcs @ 1.3/pc
Planned delivery costs: 0.10/pc
Goods receipt for that PO: 100 pc
A/C postings @ GR
Stock account: 140 Dr
GR/IR clearing: 130 Cr
Freight clearing: 10 Cr
Invoice 100 pc @ 1.3/pc=130.00
      freight @ 0.10/pc= 10.00
          Total =140.00
A/C posting @ IR
Vendor a/c's: 140 Cr (130 for Goods vendor and 10 for freight vendor)
GR/IR clearing: 130 Dr
Freight clearing: 10 Dr
Since both are different vendors you have to credit the goods value to vendor A and freight charges to vendor B, you have to do them separately.

Freight vendor invoice before MIGO--please suggest

Hi,
I have a requirement.
I have a PO with 20 line items and i have got a header freight condition with different vendor assigned to it in condition.
Now I want to pay to freight vendor even before the goods are received.
In short, I will post Vendor(freight supplier) Invoice by MIRO refering to the delivery cost before GR.
However, since I have not done the GR , it will be a very hectic way for me to apportion the freght cost(say 1500 us$) in to all the 20 items as system will not suggest me anything in the amount and quantity columns.
However, I want to pay to the freight supplier so I do not have to worry about the quantity.
But since the quantity and amount is not suggested I will have to have the precalculation and I have to put the exact calculated amount on each line item.
Can not this be avoided or is there any better way for this.
I know this is not standard requirement but if there are 200 items then imagine how difficult it would be.
Please suggest.
Regards,
manOO

Hi,
this calcualtion part has to be dealt in manual calculation. but total value comes on the right side of MIRO for your information.

Freight vendor at the time of GR

Hi,
At the time of creation of PO, i don't know the Freight vendor.
During GR, i have to maintain the freight vendor details. How i need to carryout this
Pls suggest me the solution.
Regards
Chinna

Hi
Yes, you can enter the freight vendor for the respective freight condition type during GR.
To get this, you have to do the necessary config in condition type details.
Go to M/06, select the condition type (example: FRA1), go to details, maintain value 2 in the field "Vendor in GR" to enable entry possible.
By doing this, you will get a tab in item details in MIGO screen and you can see the freight condition types those maintained in the PO.

Vendor Discounts in SAP

Hi,
What is the difference btw cash discount and trade discount?
In SAP how the vendor discounts are provided in both FI and MM.
I know that the discount will be calculated through payment terms.
But in purchase order, in condition tab, I can see the price breakup, discount, taxes etc.I guess it is from pricing procedure.
So my question is, discount will be calculated from payment terms in both FI and MM
or is there any other procedure to calculate the vendor discount in SAP.
I need 1 more clarification. What is the purpose of pricing procedure and why the discount will be included in pricing break up.
Will the discount which is there in pricing proceedure, appeare in the books of accounts?
I need to prepare a functional document for vendor discounts in SAP.For that i want these clarifications.
Pl answer me.
Thanks
Radhika Eluri

Hi,
Cash discount is given when the vendor is paid according to the payment terms. If the vendor is not paid within the date mentioned in the payment term, the cash discount is lost. This is not reflected on the invoice.
Trade discount is given based on the deal finalised. This discount is given on the price of the material and the net payable is reduced in the bill itself.
Based on the above explanation - normally cash discount is calculated at the time of payment and based on the payment terms while trade discount being a component of invoice, is calculted based on the pricing procedure.
If there is a discount calculated based on the pricing procedure, the accounting entry will be passed based on the GL account assigned to the account key which is linked to the condition type for discount.
please revert for further clarification.
Thanks and Regards,

How to handle freight vendor ?

Dear friends,
The scenario is like - Company places the PO to a vendor, say A. In this PO I have freight condition and to this condition I have freight vendor assigned, say B. (e.g. PO contains material price $10 and freight value $1)
I then post the GR and then IR.
Now the thing is do I need to crerate separate PO to freight vendor (for freight charges $1)so that he can send the invoice for freight against that?
or should I directly pay him without separate PO?
Regards,
Pat.

HI,
There is no need to create a seprate PO for freight vendor.
There are two ways to handle this sceneio.
Procedure 1 : -
Pre-requisite : - Maintain different vendor "B" in frieght condition.
While doing MIRO select book freight into fregight vendor, in miro item column there is planned delivery cost option,selet that and give the po no, then it will askk the vendor, where u select the freight vendor name say B. then it will post to freight vendor.
Second time miro for material vendor,select Good \ service.
Procedure 2:
Book directly freight cost to G/L thru FI.

Auto message determination for Freight Vendor when different from main ven

Hi All,
We have an issue with auotmatic output determination of a purchase order for a freight vendor, when the freight vendor is different from material vendor.
We are creating a PO for raw-material for vendor 'A'. In the same PO we are maintaining freight condition (FRA1/FRB1/FRC1) and for that condition we are maintinaing a different vendor (e.g Fedex). Now when we save the PO we want the system to output the PO via FAX to both the Vendors (without any manual intervention).
How can we achieve this?
Thanks in Advance
Venkat

Hi Rajesh,
Thanks for your reply.
as per my understanding, you mean to say that freight vendor has to be maintained as CR partner to the material vendor. If my understanding is correct, then the issue is that my client is not interested in maintaining Freight vendor as partner to the Material Vendor. And one more point to be noted is, most of the Purchase Orders are created automatically by MRP (Reorder point planning) . Freight vendor is maintained in the contract. MRP uses the contract as source and creates release orders.
is there any way to create new access sequence for message type NEU.so that system access the table KONV and field LIFNR to find the freight vendor.
As of now i am unable to find this table and field name in the field catalog for creating new condition table.
looking forward to hear from you soon.
Regards
Venkat

How Freight is handled in SAP

Hello Gurus,
Can anyone please explain to me how Freight is handled in SAP. I see in SAP best practice there is a freight clearing account, which is a balance sheet account on the current liabilities side, and is assigned to key ERF in VKOA.
I understand that freight in balance sheet account probably captures the revenue earned from freight when a business charges freight to its customers. But shouldnt this very same account also be posted too when we actually get the invoice from our freight vendor?
Ideally this account should be then cleared against the vendor invoices we get. If there is a positive balance left then it would be revenue but if it had a negative balance then thats and expense. In case of an expense balance, shouldnt this balance sheet account be actually an expense account.
Anyone with a clear understanding of the process, please let me know how it works
Thanks

Hi,
Please go through the following FI postings for frieght so that you can easily understand the process when the frieght is involved in business process.
