Transshipment Cost calculation

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am trying to created a Shipment document for Transhipment (Road-Train-Road). using 2 vendors and i am facing errors in creation of cost document.

Example. i created shipment for route z000001 with 3 stages.

1) Plant to rly station mode 01 Road. Vendor - 100000

2) from rly station1 to rly station 03 mode Train. Vendor - 1000001

3) rly station 2 to customer Mode 01 Road. Vendor - 100000

Now in Cost document i can see 3 items cost are also calculated but while saving getting followin error.

Enter goods receipts for vendor 100000 only

Message no. M7107

Diagnosis

The vendor of the first purchase order is 100000.

All other purchase orders against which you wish to enter the goods receipt must also have vendor 100000.

If the order is a stock transport order, the issuing plant is specified as the vendor.

For external service orders this message concerns the acceptance posting.

Procedure

You must enter goods receipts for purchase orders sent to different vendors separately for each vendor.

You can set the message type (error, warning, info) in Customizing: Choose function

Please sugges me the solution, Thanks in Advance

SREE

Dear all,

I can confirm that the change of message type "107- Enter goods receipts for vendor & only" from Error to Warning solves the problem and creates one PO per vendor.

No issues found until now.

I hope this helps some of you as well.

Cheers

Here you can set M7107 as "W" instead of "E"

Please read OSS note 501729.

Hi Csaba,

Thanks for your suggestion, but when i see the Note 501729 i stuck at a line which says "Bear in mind that the corresponding setting is also valid for goods receipts for other service or goods purchase orders."

Can you please explain me the impact of this line? and also let me know how will be the service entry sheets will be created for transshipment?

Regards

Sree..

Hi,

The remark just says - in my opinion - that the setting will be valid for all sorts of GR (=setting is at client level), it is not shipment cost specific.

E.g. you want to make a GR against two or more POs in MIGO in order to post stock, system will allow it (warning message will appear).

As I understand from your message you have three stages in the shipment, and one shipment cost item corresponds to each of them. Two of them belongs to vendor1, one of them to vendor2.

It's very likely that system will determine two POs: one for vendor1 (PO1) and one for vendor2 (PO2). I would expect GR: two against PO1, one against PO2. However, I don't know much about your settings, transactional data.

Regards,

Csaba
