In order to get high quality responses to your questions, it is usually better to explain in detail the exact as-is process with examples of document flow, sequence of business steps and the desired outcome.

  1. 1. If different sales order for same customer then can we combine different deliveries in to one delivery and assign one freight as customer is same.

   2.  If different sales order’s are for different customers then can we have its combine delivery of these different SO , and can we assign one freight for all deliveries

You can combine several orders for the same customer if the documents satisfy the combination criteria defined in the copy control between specific order and delivery type (transaction VTLA). In the standard combination criteria 051 (this is a VOFM routine) it is checked delivery type, order combination indicator, full delivery required indicator, billing type, sales organization etc. Additionally you need to have the same partner, shipping point, incoterms etc - standard split criteria.

You cannot create a single delivery for 2 different customers.

Check with the business how they calculate freight, how, when and who pays the forwarding agent, how transportation is organized.

Hi

Your requirement could be fulfilled using transportation management. You need to create shipment document and shipment cost document to meet this requirement. Deliveries from different or same customer can be added in one shipment and freight can be calculated and posted in FI. Check and explore this functionality.

Hello Moazzam/Peykova,

Is there any work around to handle this via IM (MM Inventory Management )only.

I still do not know what is your business process,  how you determine transport costs, who actually pays for them and when. So it is not easy to provide a workaround without knowing the problem.

If your company pays to the forwarder and you get the information for the costs from some external source and you do not charge the customers for that, I guess you can also create manual PO and based on that to pay to the forwarding agent, but you will not update the inventory levels, this is paying for a service.

Please explain your end-to-end business process in details (per business step) in order to get good quality of responses.
