Hi Venkat,

1) You create a PO in shipment Costing because the Pricing is based on the agreement between you and your Transporter. The Transporter is none but your Vendor whose service you are hiring.

You generally create a PO for an year or monthly as per the requirement for a reference.

2) Item Category:

eg: 0001-Transportation Costs

You can use TCode T_56 for defining Shipment Cost Types and Item Category.

TCode: T_71 is used to link Item Category with Item Category Group which is used in the Pricing Procedure determination in Shipment Document ( Invoice).

Hi,

For returnble packaging shipment we use TAL. For shipment costing i dont think any standard item category is available. Can you clearly provide exact requirement?
