Basically, The shipment is defined as the group of deliveries. Or u can say the multiple deliveries combined together to form a shipment.

The shipment cost document contains details regarding the amount like frieght and other charges to process a particular shipment.

The shipment cost information contains proposal values for the shipment cost information in the sales order, such as the transportation planning point, the shipment type and the shipment cost pricing procedure.

For this u need to assign a shipment cost information profile in the VOV8 screen.

HOpe it is useful..

This process describes how the R/3 System calculates shipment costs for shipment documents or stages. The system does this using the R/3 condition technique in pricing.

Prerequisites

Hi Sadhu

If I wanted to charge the customer freight at the shipment level, (this would include many deliveries).

Could I set up a shipment conditions for the shipment document or would I need to set up shipment cost docuement?

What is you recommendation?

Thank you very much
