Route and Freight Cost from external system

[Former Member]

Hi,

Our implementation requires making a call to stored procedures on an external system (Bourque Rateserver)to obtain the Route/Route Description and Freight Cost at the time of Sales Order and Invoice creation steps. As far as calling the stored procedure on the external database goes, I think I can do that using EXEC SQL. However, I am trying to identify the right user-exit / routine from which to make this call to the external system, and how the Route / Freight Costs returned from the external system is captured in SAP.

Any help/input is greatly appreciated.

Hi Sridhar

you need to make the call in the pricing procedure under Alt Calc type for Freight costs.

Look at the standard one 300 for getting taxes from external systems.

For Route you can make the call in MV45AFZZ under move data to VBAP.

Thanks

Thanks for the info Richard. It is very helpful.

I will take a look at the Routine 300 to understand how the call to external system is made for Tax and try to replicate it for Rateserver.
