Hi,

While processing Shipment document in VT01N, freight charges are calculated by determining pricing procedure and Freight condition records maintained through TK11. There might be various condition types depending on Full truck load/ Part truck load/ Custom charges/ Loading charges/ etc..

The same freight conditions involved in deriving freight costs are displayed in Shipment cost document and additionally the shipment cost document will posts all the frieght amounts to respective GL accounts/ Cost centers.

Hi,

Shipment cost document in transportation module helps you in the following ways.

Basic purpose of shipment cost document is to settle the transport vendor for the transportation he has done. In order to settle, we need to create a service PO, service entry sheet etc. Based on which the payment will be done to the vendor.

Shipment Cost document will help you by automatically generating the Service PR, PO and Service entry sheets in the background once you click on the Transfer button, which minimises the work of creating all the above said documents.

With reference to Service entry sheets, vendor invoice can be created.

For one delivery it will not be a problem, if you do it manually. But when you do for so many deliveries on a day it is very difficult to do it manually. This is the basic reason why we use transportation module.
