[Former Member]

Hi,

I have created a Sales Order, which is integrated with shipment processing. When i want to estimate my shipment cost, I am getting an error

Could you please help me to sort this out?

Also I would like to know that when we use this functionality in Sales Order it just stimulate or create the documents in real?

Thanks

Dear

Please check shipment document type screen. Also check all your settings and if still error is there then please share your process step by step what you are doing?

I think you need to confige "Define and Assign Activity Profiles". (Enterprise Structure  ® Logistics Execution ® Transportation à Shipments à Define and Assign Activity Profiles).

The activity profile outlines possible activities to be executed in the shipment document when the shipment has reached a certain status. You can define a separate activity profile for each status.

Possible activities include:

• posting goods issue for deliveries currently in shipment
• billing deliveries currently in shipment
• printing certain outputs

Then, you define a selection variant, which may in turn be assigned to a shipment type. In this way, the shipment activities that are to be carried out are defined for the shipment type as soon as the corresponding status is set.

You can define that the system displays a dialog box as soon as the status is set. In this dialog box you can enter additional data. When registering a car for example, the system could display a dialog box in which you enter the license plate number and the name of the driver.

Make a configuration for your shipment types. My expample below (Y00X are my shipment types).

Hi Moazam and Narendra,

I am not in VI01T, infact its VA02 screenshot, where after creating SO i want to estimate the Shipment cost.

I went to VA02>> Extra>>Shipment cost--- there i put TPP, Shipping type and routes etc and executed.

My rest of the settings for Transportation are intact, it is giving me this strange error, where first it sets the shipment in planning and in next step it says not set,

Hi Narendra,

Apprentaly it is giving me issues. regarding the shipment cost profile, I havent created any and I am just running it with giving appropiate data. This should not be issue it sems( or it can be?) coz in help its written its not mandatory to assign profiles to oreder type.

[former_member184065]

Dear ,

I assume you have done Delivery and also Shipment for that Sales Order why because your Screen shot clearly showing as you did Shipment also .Check below points also once again .

1. Service Agent copied successfully from the Delivery .

2.Leg Determination Executed

3. deadlines copied from delivery

VA01->VL01N->VT01N - Completed again you came to VA02 and were trying  to above way .

Yes or no ?

Note : Yes , VOV8 setting doesnt effecting like on above .

Thanks,

Naren

[moazzam_ali]

Dear Naren

What you are saying is that we have to do VA01 > VL01N and VT01N first then we can check shipment cost in VA02? Am I getting you correctly?

Thank$

[former_member184065]

Dear,

Actually , I am following is below way .

VA01>VL01N ( No PGI )->VT01N->VL02N->VI01->VF01

I dont know , why he is doing in VA02

Note : This Shipment Cost Information is only showing some of Shipment Cost and any Issues not creation of Shipment Cost by there self .

If you have any doubts let me know.

I have tested before and after saving and I am getting result on both stages.

Are you checking this in VA01 or VA02? Don't create any reference document and just check this in VA01.

Please check and revert.

[former_member184065]

Dear,

Are you checking this in VA01 or VA02? Don't create any reference document and just check this in VA01.

I am checking in VA01 and VA02 both levels .I didnt create any document .Every time,I am creating directly Sales Order but system is asking LF or TV not in Reference Document .I am fully confusion on this .

Note : I have maintained Serials Numbers for this Material . I have checked in Serial Numbers also but there was not suck kind of effecting on this way .

Thanks,

Naren

[moazzam_ali]

This is working fine for me. You must be missing something. Please check your shipment document type, route, sale order header partners, shipment type etc once again.

[former_member184065]

Dear,

The above Error comes from when you doesnt click on " Planning and Execution " under Deadlines .You can see as in Status as 0 Planned .

If you have any doubts please let me know .

Thanks,

Naren

[moazzam_ali]

Dear

The screen you have pasted is of VI01? If yes then check in shipment document VT02N what is the status of shipment document. There are buttons shipment document. Please check them and update.
