How to capture Shipping expenses in Quotation / Order

[raviraj_kadudas]

Hi Gurus,

We are implementing SAP for a logistics company which is involved in providing logistics like moving goods from one place to other place for customers. Which involves import and export of materials. This process involves different cost like Container charges, Port charges, Haulage charges, Cystom clerance etc.

The issues is when we receive a quotation from customer for moving goods from one place to another, we need to give a quotation to customer taking all the above charges ( Container charges, Port charges, Haulage charges, Cystom clerance etc.) in to account. The problem is we will not have all the fields to capture above expenses in the Sales documents ( Quotation/ Order). For example for container charges we need port of loading and port of un laoding, etc. .

As of now we are planning to capture these expenses in Shipment documnet and copy the same back to Quotation .

Any other suggestions are highly appreciated .

Thanks

I think best way is to create BOM material, header is FCL/ LCL ect materials sub items like insurance/frieght change ect , and add the prices as per conditions.

You have to develop a zee table where you should have fields for

a) Type of Container (FCL or LCL)

b) Container Charges

C) Port Charges

d) Inland Haulage charges

e) Demurrange charges

etc. Here the container charges will vary depending upon its type. So accordingly, you need to have the required combination

So you should have zee condition types for all the above which should populate in your quotation. Depending upon the inco terms (FOB or CIF), the above values should calculate to arrive at an assessable value.

Hi,

There are some fields available for loading/unloading point in sales order header under SHIPPING tab

Check

Also to capture the cost of Container charges, Port charges, Haulage charges, Custom clearance etc.you can create different condition types and place in pricing procedure.

Hi Kapildev,

Thanks for the reponse. the issues is the user can enter the data in Quotation / ales order manually ( as the data can change from customer to customer) but he needs to re enter the information again in Shipment document ( as the info will not pass from Quote / Sales Order from Unloading point of sales document to Destination point in shipment document).

More over, the departure point / destination point in Shipment documnet can change from customer to customer and user will be able to create them manually. But the unloading point / reciving point, user will not be able to create freely

Thanks

Sunny
