Shipment Costing comprising of 2 deliveries from 2 company codes

[Former Member]

We have a scenario whereby we combine 2 deliveries from 2 different company codes into 1 marine shipment. The issue we face is that when we generate the shipment costing document for the freight amount, 1 single item is generated and this is tied to the company code depicted in the original shipment.

The question which I would like to ask is what it takes to create 2 items in the shipment costing document which allow us to update the account assignment for the 2 different company codes. Thanks.

hello, friend.

try going to T_56, and choose an entry in Cost Distribution for the item category (for shipment cost docukment). it is possible that the setting in your system is "A". you also have to coordinate with your FICO consultant if CO-PA is active. however, i do not see any settings that might distribute the cost on the basis of Company Code, only on the bases of: 1) the entire shipment, 2) deliveries and 3) delivery items.

please post again if this does not work for you.

regards.

The cost distribution is "C". Our idea is to distribute by deliveries versus the current arrangement where all the costs are recorded under 1 company code even though both deliveries are from 2 different company codes.
