Shipment Document & Costing Issue

[former_member301027]

I have the following query and observations need clarity.

1- Where we maintain Cost Type in configutaion like (Shipment Header, Shipment Leg).

2- I have a item on delivery, when calculating cost system generates two lines with different pricing procedure. Why this happen.

3- When I am on Freight cost Item page, If I go to the Tab page "Conditions" system shows me the pricing mechanism, and value appear. But if I goes to "Shipment Cost Item" Tab page below the page and if double click on any where It bring me to some pricing procedure and showing missing and some other condition types which are not as shows in the scenario number two condition. What is this, and should I making any wrong thing.

Looking for the response from gurus.

Hi Imran,

1. Shipment Cost Types is a part of the configuration in Logistics Execution node in IMG.

You can maintain at this path: Logistics Execution --> Transportation --> Shipments Costs --> Shipment Cost Document --> Shipment Cost Type.

In this configuration, you can define your shipment cost type. Prior to that, you would need to define your item cost category which you will assign in your shipment cost type. In the Shipment Cost type, you indicate if this item cost category is a Shipment Header, Shipment Leg etc.

2. How many line item generated in your shipment cost document is dependent on whether which cost type is relevant for shipment cost calculation. If your shipment cost have both Shipment Header and Shipment Leg, where information has been determined as relavant for shipment cost calculation, both line for the same Delivery will appear in your shipment cost document, and both having different pricing procedure (if this has been configured as separate).

3. Your tab is shown as "Shipment Cost Item" mainly because of the calculation base (D = Shipment Cost Item) you have defined in your condition type for this pricing procedure. And, whether the shipment cost document have been fully calculated or partially calculated or whether it have other errors, you can determine from the "Calculated" status = C. When the Calculated status = A or B, then you would need to check why the error is coming, and you can see in your pricing procedure if all conditions has been determined, or some mandatory conditions are missing etc. This you can check in your pricing procedure "Analysis" for each sub-item.

The shipment cost item structure contain a Header, Item and Sub-item level. All these information are stored individually different tables. When your shipment cost item have been fully calculated, the net value should appear in your Item level. However, if the sub-item is calculated with value but the value is not displayed in your item, then the condition calculated may be incorrect or inactive, which should prompt you to check further.

Hope the above helps.

Thanks.
