Fixed freight cost for entire sales order

[Former Member]

Hi

My client is wants to apply one fixed freight cost for the entire sales order and distribute it among the items.

Ex:

Let say, for an incoterm AAAA, a fixed freight rate (using Calc Type B) is maintained to be $ 1000.

When a sales order is created with 4 sales order items and with incoterm AAAA, currently the system is calculating the total freight cost to be 4000 (4*1000). 1000 for each item.

Where as I want the total freight cost to remain $ 1000 and $ 1000 should be among the sales order items proportionally.

I know that we can use header conditions, but with header conditions we need to enter the freight cost manually in the sales order (No access sequence or condition record). But my client wants to pick the freight rate automatically from condition records based on incoterm.

Could you please suggest a way to meet my requirement.

Thanks

Goto V/06 select your condition type for freight. Open your condition type, there select calculation type as "B" that is for fixed quantity. Hope this will help.

If I use a header condition for freight, can I have the condition value calculated from the condition records instead of entering the freight value during the sales order creation?

My main issue is that users do not want to enter the freight cost manually during sales order creation. They want the system to calculate the freight cost based on incoterms and the freight cost should be applied at the sales order level (not at item level).

Any other suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Hi all

We eventually settled with the process of manually entering the freight cost on the header condition during sales order entry, as there is no way to read the condtion values from condiation records automatically for header condition types.

Thank you all for your inputs.

Hi

Create a condition type with Condition class as A and condition type as B and also tick the Group condition , header condition.

This will allow you to enter the fix amount at header level and this will be divided proportionally in all the line items of the sales order.

Hi,

Create a freight condition type and maintain as a header condition.

So that the frieght amount will be a fixed amount irrespective of number of material or quantity in the Sales Order.

If it is manual freight value then you can control the manual value by fixing a from and To value.

Hi,

If your freight condition already have access sequence and you maintained condition record then it will auto populate on item level and or header level depending upon settings you maintained in V/06

In V/06 tick mark to HEADER condition that is enough.

Hi Kapil

If i check the header condition in the condition type definition, I still need to manually enter the freight rate manually at the header level during sales order creation. I want the freight rate to be calculated automatically.

Basically my requirement is to have a fixed freight cost for the entire sales order irrespective of any number of sales order items. And I don't want to enter the freight cost manually during the creation of sales order. Rather I want to have the system calculate freight cost from the condition records based on incoterm.

Thanks
