Hi,

You define the tariff zone from the below mentioned path

SPRO->Logistic execution->Transportation-->Shipment Cost>Basic Funstion->Define & Assign Tariff Zones

Tariff zones are deined for the purpose of cos determination and this tariff zone is inturn assigned to the Vendor/Transport agent/country/shipment type

also you have to define the postal code for the combination if required.

Hi Harsh,

Thanks for the reply.

Can you explain whats the use of the two postal code columns in tariffzone assignment?

Which Postal code we have to mention here so that system will determine a condition record for my freight forwarding agent?

The determination of tariff zones can be entered as geographical considerations in the system. You can set the automatic determination of tariff zones in Customizing. A tariff zone is the combination of postal code areas for a country. The tariff zone is defined in terms of the transportation planning point, service agent, shipping type, and country.

For example, a postal code area has been assigned to a predefined tariff zone for a combination of transportation planning point, service agent, etc. If the system does not find a valid tariff zone for these criteria, then it carries out determination again with an u201Cemptyu201D shipping type. Such determination is also possible with a service agent empty or service agent and shipping type empty.

With the corresponding system settings, the tariff zone is determined automatically when it creates a shipment cost item. That is, when it creates a shipment cost document or when another item is created manually.

Hi LakshmiPathi,

Thanks for the response.

Please note that I have maintained postal codes in my Shipping point also in my customer master.

For the combination of TP Point, Service agent, Shipping type & Country I have made the following assignment.

I have given my shipping point Postal code in both the Postal code columns of Tarff zone assignment (say Tariff) & my customer master Postal code in both the Postal code columns of Tariff zone assignment (say Tariff1).

Now I have maintained the condition records in TK11 for the combination of Depart. Tariff zone/Destn.Tariff zone/Service Agent i.e. Tariff/Tariff1/Service Agent

But my condition record value is not getting determined & when I simulate my shipment cost I am getting the following error message.

Shipment costs not yet calculated

Shipment costs item 000001 w/ ref. to doc. $0001 item 0001

Message no. VY104

Goods types directory could not be determined

Message no. VW803
