Dear Gurus.............

Brief about the process:

Railways providing   transport  service  for carrying  goods from one loaction to another location  for that railway collects the freight charges from customer.

The current process of my customer (Railway)

1. Customer  approaches to railway authority for transpoting the goods from place A to Place B on XX XX date.

2. Rlwy person checks the vailability of the  wagon  and provides  approximate   date of wagon avialbility

3. Customer agrees that date , then Rlw person calculates the freight chagres and ask the customer to pay the total amount.

Freight calulated on the basis of Wagon type, Distance, Route  . 

4   Wagon will allocate  to the customer once recieves the total freight charge amount.

5.  Customer will load the goods (loading goods may be Cement, grains, Sugar, Wheet etc)     in the wagon .

6.  Wagon to be waited at Weigh  bridge and  goods net weight  to be captured in the consignemnet note / invocie.

7. Railway authority issue consignemnt note / Invoice to the customer  and few set of copies to be handover to rail driver. 

8. Once reached the  wagon to place B goods will be  unloaded .  later the same wagon can be used  for another destiantion  ( From Place B to Place C). It means that wagon may or maynot be return to the origin destination .  It means the wagon  moves one pace to another place.....

In simple words,  Customer paid the amount in advance -- ralway allocated the wagon to load the material-- after loading teh materila  railway issuing Consignement Note / invoice .

My Question:

1. How to map in SAP SD the above process.

2. Wagon to be treaded  as what type of material ?

Need your suggestions on above ...
