How to capture ship method and freight account in customer master and order

[former_member666941]

Hello

In the customer master, I would like to maintain fields like freight vendor, freight account no and preferred ship method (Like Fedex Ground, UPS next day, etc), and have them copy over to the sales order. I know we can define freight vendor in partner function, but I do not see anything in the shipping view of the customer master similar to this. We are not using the transportation module, and are on ECC 6.0.

Is my only option to define these in the text fields or under additional data of customer master and have text determination carry this over?

Im curious as to how other companies have configured this, any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Ken

Thanks in advance

Hi Ken,

You may use the reserve fields of the customer master at general data or sales area data.

In customer master data, choose menu: Extras --> Additional data

To use a reserve field (attribute 1) of the customer master proceed as follows:

1. Change the short descriptions of the data elements KATR1 by using the SAP enhancement and activate the data element.

2. Maintain the entity tables TVK1 with the values.

"01" Fedex Ground

"02" UPS next day

etc.

3. Use the same procedure for the remaining reserve fields KATR2-KATR9.

Then continue with enhancement of copying the customer master fields into the sales document either VBAK, VBAP, or VBKD.
