Shipment Cost Information in the Order

Use
As the shipment costs can make up a large proportion of the total cost of a product it is important and therefore recommended that you have a rough idea of the shipment costs when the order is created. As in normal situations no deliveries, shipments or shipment cost documents exist at this point, simulated

versions of these can be "created" in the background to enable you to calculate shipment costs on the basis of these documents. This means that you can estimate shipment costs. When you make the appropriate setting it is also possible to implement several calculations at the same time, in order, for example, to determine whether transport by lorry or by train would be cheaper or how much more it would cost to send by express delivery rather than by standard transport.

Integration
Shipment cost information is called up in SD order processing but uses the transportation and shipment cost processing functions.

Prerequisites
Shipment cost information in the order can only be used if the control parameters and master data for transportation and shipment cost processing have been maintained.

Features
To calculate shipment costs in the order you can define profiles for shipment cost information. The profile for shipment cost information contains default values for shipment cost information in the order, for example, the transportation planning point, transportation type and the shipment pricing procedure. The profile for shipment cost information is assigned to a sales document type (when defining the sales document types in Customizing for Sales and Distribution). If you do not want to carry out comparisons between the calculation methods, but just want to receive an estimated value for the shipment costs, then use the details from the profile for shipment cost information (transportation planning point, transport type, pricing procedure) and the data from the order (forwarding agent, route) for calculating shipment costs and the related simulated creation of transports.

If you do not assign a profile to the sales document type, you can also enter the transportation planning point, shipment type and service agent in the order. To carry out a comparison of different calculation methods, you can assign one or more shipment planning profiles to a profile for shipment cost information. This planning profile is used to create shipments in collective processing, in order to store specific selection variants and data, which should always be used, in the memory. A planning profile determines how deliveries should be put together with shipments and which data should be put in the shipment documents. You can assign various planning profiles to the profile for shipment cost information, in order, for example, to compare whether it is cheaper to transport by train or by lorry. It is also possible to assign a planning profile for creating transportation chains. If you begin the calculation of shipment costs in the sales document, the data that is used to simulate the putting together of the two types of transportation, is the data which is saved in the order and in the shipment costs profile, which is assigned to the corresponding sales document type. If the planning profile is assigned to the shipment cost type, this data is also used for the parallel calculation of shipment costs, so that it is possible to compare different transportation options.

Yes it is possible to have a Shipment Cost estimate at the time of Sales Order creation. This is only an estimate which gives you a rough idea of how much the Shipment Cost works out (In Sales Order, Extras --> Shipment Cost Information). You need to attach a Shipment Cost Information profile to the Sales Order type. For further information, checkout in SPRO, Logistics Execution --> Transportation --> Shipment Costs --> Define Profiles for Shipment Cost information.

You can get the simulation of the shipping cost at order level with out hitting the G/L account.Based on this you can select cheaper one.

Calling up Shipment Cost Information in the Order Procedure Choose Logistics Sales and distribution Sales. Choose Order Create. Enter all the data from your order and save the document. Call up the document again by choosing Order Change. In the order, choose Details Shipment cost information.

You reach the screen where the planning profiles are listed. In the first line, you always have the planning profile . In this line you see the default values from the shipment cost profile that is assigned to the respective sales document type. If you have not assigned a shipment cost profile to the sales document type, now enter the missing data for Transportation planning point, shipment type, and service provider. If you have assigned a shipment cost profile to the sales document type, and there are shipment planning profiles assigned to this shipment cost profile, then the system will list all the shipment planning profiles that are assigned to the shipment cost profile. Choose Execute. Result In the column Net value, you see the values calculated by the system. If several planning profiles are assigned, you can have the system make comparisons. In the log, you can display the details of the simulated shipments. If you have problems with the calculations, you can check the reasons listed on the log.

EKKN is the table for account assignment data of PO

Via that route too a Po is created during shipment costs- followed by service entry sheet . then on doing Miro i can take in the actuals .

Here also i am doing the same thing only thing is no shipment document and shipment cost processing other than that it is the same . Only thing i want the price to flow automatically . I want the KOMP structure to be updated with the sales order and item no for price copying . i have been copy the price by directly hitting SD tables starting from VBEP , but any query on VBEP increases the processing time Can anyone suggest an alternative route ... in a PO /PR i can see the SO in account assignment tab ... on which table can i find this
