Shipment External ID fields not passing through to cost document

[Former Member]

Can someone tell me why External ID 1 (VTTK-EXTI1) and External ID 2 (VTTK-EXTI2) field values are not passing through to the corresponding cost document fields (VFKK-EXTI1 and VFKK-EXTI2)? Thank you.

Thank you for the prompt response, however we did have at least the external ID 1 field passing through at one time. This value is then passed to the service entry sheet which is important for remittance data on the payment to the freight carrier. We have found a BADI that will pass the external ID 2 field to the service entry sheet also, but we need the two values in the cost document first. I think we may have made a change in configuration that stopped the value from being passesd, but am unable to determine where it is.

As per the description of the fields in both shipment and shipment cost document, it seems that they are for different purposes. External IDs in Shipment Document - are used for shipment related (not shipment cost) information capture. Whereas, Shipment Cost Document fields are specifically to capture Shipment Cost Information. Although the field names are same but they are for different kinds of data. So there is no Provision and no need to transfer the fields to Shipment Cost doc.

I think these fields are more relevant for Shipment document because Shipment print is taken from this document. And any extra information (like Lorry Receipt No., Road Permit No., etc.) can be captured in these fields. Never used these fields in shipment cost doc. It does not help in determining cost.

Thanks
