Transportation Cost Between Storage Location

[Former Member]

Hello,

My scenario is we move material in trucks from plant to one central location where we hold all these trucks and from there these are shipped to the customers as per the request.I have following questions.

1.Do I need to create this remote location as a storage location to track the inventory in the truck and how we manage the shipment cost moving material from plant to this storage location ?

2.We use hauler (external party ) to ship the material from remote location to customer .How I manage this scenarios in SAP ? Please let me know the configuration .

Regards

Me

For your questions;

1) Yes if you want to track inventory, then you need to create a storage location for the remote warehouse. In order to find the shipment cost, you can appropriate condition types (like HD00, KF00) in the pricing procedure for delivery document. The path is SPRO->Logistics Execution ->shipping ->basic shipping functions -> Pricing .

2) This will be handled using the regular sales process. Sales order ->delivery->billing. In the sales order or in delivery add the remote storage location that you have created for in step 1. The same way, as mentioned in step 1, you can capture the shipment cost for the external party. Note that you may need to create an accrual condition type to accumulate the freight cost for the service provider and another freight condition type (non-accrual) to charge the same to customer.

Shiva thanks for the reply.

Regarding the first part can you give me the step by step process .First step .movement type 313 and 315 but Where I should capture the shipping cost in this step.?

This is NOT using movement types 313 and 315. The process will be creating Stock transport purchase order (STO) in ME21N -> Create delivery using VL10 ->Goods receipt using t.code MIGO (using delivery number) in the receiving plant. In the delivery document, you can add the pricing procedure and condition types. The path for configuration STO process is SPRO->Materials Management ->Purchasing ->Purchase order -> Set up stock transport order.

If you don't intend to use the delivery document, then you need to directly post the shipping cost in Financing, and I am not sure how to handle that. You may need to check in FI forum.

Siva I think I understood the process.Let me put it here.

ME21N->VL10G->GR->MIRO

Using MIRO we will pay for the freight .

Config:-Need to setup pricing condition for freight calculating for the outbound delivery.

Second Scenario

VA01->VL01N->PGI->VF01

Let me know if anything need to be change here.

Thanks

Looks good to me. You can either user MIRO to capture the freight cost, or you can create a copy control settings (in t.code VTFL) between replenishment delivery type (NL) to freight invoice (you can create a Z-billing document to capture the freight). You can discuss with MM specialist or FI specialist to select one of the options.

Shiva,

I already closed this thread but I have a question.I will do STO between storage location using freight cost but any idea how system will react when I do MIRO with respect to material cost.I know inventory value is not changing in plant but just wondering how the system will react with material cost .

Thanks!
