Shipment Cost to Invoice document

[former_member1091983]

Dear All,

We have the following scenario in Transportation Module.

When we create the Shipment document (VT01N) against the delivery, the user does not aware of the chargeable weight of the consignment as transporter charges are on volume basis which may be different from the actual weight. So he creates the Shipment document & Shipment cost document with the actual weight and commercial and excise invoices. Here no accounting entries passed to FI.

In this case user gets the actual chargeable weight after one or two days of the dispatch. Here we change the shipment cost document (VI01) with the actual weight and relevant value. Now this exact value has to be reflected in the invoice document instead of that old value since the CO-PA analysis require the transportation charges.

Pls advise how to handle this scenario.

Thanks,

JJ

Thank You.

In one of my earlier projects, I have done the following which you can consider

Weightment will be made in two stages. That is empty vehicle will be weighed while entering the plant and after loading when the vehicle reaches the security gate, again it is weighed with load. At both these stages, entry will be made through a zee transaction so that system will capture the exact weight of the material by referring the delivery document.

So while generating shipment cost, through an exit in the background, system will fetch the difference in weight and post the value accordingly.

thanks
