Hi there,

When transport cost is borne by the company, ten include the transport cost as a condition type in your pricing (freight for eg). Put it as a manual condition sothat the person who logs the order will enter the freight manually in the order.

So the total price the customer has to pay includes the transportation cost.

What do you mean "supply cable to the customer with the help of transport company "?

You mean goods are transported by another carrier or forwarding agent? Then define that carrier as a service agent in the route stages.

Define the route for eg from Bangalore to Hyderabad. It will have stages like this:

Stage 1 --> Blore plant to Blore forwarder warehouse --> service agent DHL

Stage 2 --> Blore forwarder warehouse to Hyd forwarder warehouse --> Service agent DHL

Stage 3 --> Hyd forwarder warehouse to Hyd customer --> Service agent DHL.

Partner determination is standard. Include the service agent as a partner to your sold-to.

Hi,

If the transportation cost is borne by the client- Then you should confirm, whether this cost is collecting from the customer seperately or it will be included in basic price itself.

1- If Cost is collecting from the Customer

Then you should maintain the condition record in Cond Type:-KF00 , Include in your pricing procedure. This frieght cost will be included in total invoice of the customer & collected from the customer at the time of payment.Transporter will be forwarding agent which has to be assign in Customer master partner functions.

The same cost will be paid to the transporter by the company- for this you need to create transporter as vendor-

Create Service PO- monthly or yearly ( as per req)

each service ( delivery) will be stored in this service PO as Service Entry Sheet- SES. Transporter will submit the SES as claiming.

2- If the transportation cost is borne by the client & it not collection from the customer.

Then KF00 is not required. You can directly maintain cond recod for cond type FB20 ( tcode:TK11)in shipment pricing procedure .
