hi,

sap gurus,

Transportation Mangement:

in my business process my client wants to have different frieght charges in the documents

like basing on the

seasons

distance

cargo weight = tare weight

volume

how do we handle that

Dear Balaji,

You can get that trough main taining the Scales

Go through this it will help you

Scales to calculate Transportation Cost

Definition

Freight depends on certain influential sizes, which are illustrated with scales. Scales are divided into levels that have different values.

A scale consists of:

A scale header, which includes general information about the scale (scale base type, scale type, rounding rule)

An unlimited amount of scale levels, each of which is made up of a value (such as weight, volume, postal code or distance) and a calculation type.

Each scale is an independent piece of master data that can be used in many different condition records. When you create a condition record, you can also maintain the condition rates or condition percentage rates according to the assigned scales.

Scale base type

The scale base type defines how the system interprets the scale. The scale can refer to weight or volume, for example. You can base a pricing element scale on one of the following criteria:

Examples of scale base types

Gross weight

Net weight

Volume

Distance

Number of different means of transportation

Time (travel time or wait time)

Tariff zone (destination)

Destination region

Scale type

A scale type is an indicator that controls how the scale levels are defined. The scale type indicates whether the scale values that were specified depict the upper- or lower boundaries for the scale levels.

From a certain value, such as weight, onward (base scale)

Up to a certain value, such as weight (to-scale)

For exactly one value, such as postal code (same-scale)

Use

You can define scales when you create condition records. The scale you use determines how shipment costs are calculated. For example, you can use a scale to define that the freight rate that is used for calculation depends on the weight being transported and the distance it is being transported.

Freight rates can be maintained depending on scaling:

Individual value (no scaling)

One scale (weight, for example)

Maintain freight rates for each scale value

Two or three scales (weight and postal code, for example)

Maintain freight rates for various combinations of the scale values

Weight scale

Scale base type: gross weight

Scale type: to-scale

Distance scale

Scale base type: distance

Scale type: to-scale

Determining freight:

Up to a scale value of 100 km and 5 tons, the scale rate is 20.35. For a scale value of 5 tons and 100 km to 500 km, the scale rate is 33.60. At a scale value of 90 km and 800 kg, the freight rate would be 20.35. The freight is calculated as follows: 8 * 20.35 = 162.80. Since the minimum value is 250, however, the freight charged in this case is 250.

I hope it will help you

Murali.

Creating scales

Procedure

To create scales, proceed as follows:

1.Choose Logistics Execution  Master Data  Transportation  Shipment Costs  Scales  Create.

2.The Create scale: Initial screen appears.

3.Enter the scale base type. You can choose from the selection list, which includes gross weight, tariff zone, postal code, region, distance, for example.

4.Choose ENTER.

Create Scale: Overview Screen

1.Enter a name for the scale.

2.Indicate the scale type on the Scale tab page.

3.You can use a rounding rule for the scale base type to define that a value be rounded either up or down, for example. You can choose a suitable rounding rule from the selection list.

4.Enter a unit of measure for the scale.

5.Enter a Calculat. Rule (condition basis) on the Calculatn tab page. You can choose gross weight, distance or travel time from the selection list, for example. This rule defines the multiplication factor.

6.In the Rounding rule field for the condition basis, you can specify how the value that is used as the starting value for the calculation should be rounded.

7.Enter the scale values you require.

8.Specify the calculation type.

Calculation types (calculation rules) for scales:

Absolute value (an absolute value is chosen as the basis for calculation)

Relative to scale base type

Minimum value

Maximum value

Proportional rate

It is also possible to go from absolute to relative values in the scale.

The calculation type and rules control how the condition rate is interpreted in the condition record.

9.Enter a price unit and a value in the Price unit field (100 kg, for example).

10.Save your entries.

The system informs you that the scale was saved. The scale creation screen reappears.

Note :-

If you want to create multi-dimensional conditions (you can create up to 3 scales), simply repeat the process for creating scales.
