Account Assignment in a Shipment costs document

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have an Issue where Account Assignment is Incomplete in a Shipment cost document due to specific line item where the Account assignment has been partially processed.Shipment costs document is generally used to settle costs with transporters,Freight forwarders etc.

The user has a workaround where she could force the account assignment complete by removing the sales document, item and order from the account assignment tab for that line item so that the document could be transferred to Finance.

She would like to know the financial implications of implementing this workaround? kindly help out.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

The requirement here is to carry out settlement for shipment costs incurred by the Transporter.So this shipment cost has many line items pertaining to different Different Deliveries.During the process of settlement the account assignment is done for

1.G/L account determination

2.Assignments for cost accounting

She would like to know the financial /costing implications of implementing this workaround?

Hi Rau,

These Shipment costs are trated as costs which are settled with Transporter/freight forwarders .

Hi,

How are you treating shipment costs? as costs or revenue?

Thanks,
