[Former Member]

hi all ,

is there any possibility to create a dummy shipment and/or shipment cost document in order to

predict the shipment cost ?

is there simulation mode in transactions vt01n / vi01 ?

You have to configure the following before:

Logistics Execution > Transportation > Shipment Costs > Define Profiles for Shipment Cost Information

You´ll need a variant or several, depending if you want to estimate cost or also compare the best option from differents vendors. You can create those differents variants (for each scenario) on VT04 transaction.

I hope this help you.

hey all ,

i'm trying to create a shipment cost estimate in transaction vt02n .

i'm getting a message " shipment cost not yed calculated " and in the log there is

2 messages :

1. shipment cost document generated ( simulation ) with a red led ( error )

2. shipment costs $003 not saved because they contain no items .

what are the configuration that i have to make for the shipment cost estimate ?
