Very Typical logistics scenarion in SAP-

[reazuddin_md]

Hi,

Issue: Tranportation freight cost

" there are X & Y companies running in SAP. Following different procedures

to calculate freight costs.

in Company X: - freight calculating through userexit based on distance basis & rate and include

in inventory account ( only in STO's case,but not in case of SO's).

in Company Y: freight will calculate through shipment cost using condition records

in TK11 ( through Service PO,this costs will going to the expence account)

To check the distance,they are using customized master data and included in sales order userexit.

when we save SO, system checks for the valid record and copied in SO.

is there any way to follow the unified method for both companies instead following

2 different procedure?

Please need ur inputs,

Hi

I think that you have had your question answered so if you are happy with this can you please award points if you want to but mainly can you please mark your question as answered so that it is easier to navigate around the open questions in the forum as the number of pages are growing and growing and it takes too long to go through everything especially if a satisfactory answer has already been given and people like me who want to help will give up and so some people may not get any help.

Thanks for this

RMD,

The best option is to use the condition freight records for both the companies. The company which uses user exit can also use condition freight record with scales defined. You can use distance as the calculation unit and define slab of rates if required. Then maintain the scale in the condition type that you are using.

Trust this helps.

Hi

We will need to analyze first why these two companies are using two different methods. Using the condition records is the obvious easy way but if user exits are used in X, then there will be some specific scenario which standard sap can cater to.

Pls. let me know why user exit is used in X.

Kind Regards
