HI Ravi Sankar,

Shipment cost in shipping conatins create the shipoment cost doc., process the shipment, monitor the shipment, calculate the shipment and settle the shipment.

Shipment cost doc. conatains calculate the shipment, assign to accounting, transfer to FI and settle the shipment cost.

Shipment cost doc. devided into header, item and subitem data.

We need to assing pransportation planning point to com. code to calculate and settle the shipment cost.

1. Define date rules:- In this IMG acitivity you define the date rules that determine which dates are chosen for determining the pricing date and the settlement date and the sequence in which they are accessed. The dates can be, for example, the end of transportation planning or the start of lading.

2. Define and assign tariffzones:-In this IMG activity, you define the tariff zones and assign postal code areas to the tariff zones for each organizational key. The tariff zones are represent geographical influencing factors during the calculation of shipment costs.

3.Define no. ranges for shipment cost:-In this IMG activity you define the number interval for the shipment cost documents. When creating a shipment cost document, a unique number is generated. The number comes fromt the number range that you create in this menu point as the internal number range.

You can also create an external number range. The option to specify a number from the external number range when creating the shipment cost document is, however, not currently supported.

4.shipcost types and item cat.:-In this IMG activity, you define the shipment cost types and item categories that contain all important control features for the shipment cost document, such as:

Number range

Status requirements for the shipment documents

Parameters for shipment costing

Parameters for shipment settlement

5.shipcost relevance and default for shipcost types:-In this IMG activity you assign the shipment cost types to the shipment types and set an indicator to show whether the cost type is relevant to shipment costing. You do this for every cost type in every shipment type. .

Example

For the 'individual shipment' shipment type, you set the indicator for the cost types shipment header and leg, but not for the cost types border crossing or load transfer point. You also assign a shipment cost type to the shipment type. When you create a shipment cost document, this shipment cost type is determined automatically.

6.Settlement:-

Certain control elements must be maintained for calculating shipment costs with the transportation service agent and for forwarding of shipment costs to FI and CO.

you can maintain these control elements and carry out the corresponding assignments.

-- assign puachaging data

--maintain acc. assignment cat.

--automatic G/L acc. determination

--automatic determination of CO assignments

--invoices and credit memos

Reward points if u useful

Cheers
