SD Shipment Costs

Shipping fees are based upon the cost of processing and
shipping the Customer order
This includes the cost of labor, supplies, facilities and equipment
necessary to fulfill your order
It becomes necessary that all these costs, including the Freights
and other Surcharges are -
 Settled to the Transporter
 Charged to the customer
Purpose

Shipment cost functionality is used primarily for the following;
 Calculating shipment costs
 Settling shipment costs to the Transporter
 Charging the Shipment Costs to the Customer
Using this functionality, it becomes possible for the transportation
planner to estimate the Freight cost before they are incurred. This
helps in making important decisions in transportation planning.
Use

 How to calculate shipment costs for a specific shipment
 How to split shipment costs if there is more than one
customer for a shipment
 How to settle the shipment costs with transport service
provider
 How to charge shipment costs to a customer
 Internal settlement of shipment costs between group
companies.. is it possible ?

SD Shipment Costs

The Activities in Shipment Cost Processing can be broadly broken
down in the following headers:
Shipment Cost Document Creation
Transmission of Shipment Costs to Accounting
Settlement of Shipment Cost with Service Provider
Billing The Shipment costs to the customer.

Structure:
Shipment cost header:
The shipment cost header contains general information on the entire
document. You can view status, reference and administration
information. The status information is the cumulative status that is
calculated from the individual item
Shipment cost item:
The items refer either to a shipment header or a shipment stage. The
items contain general data for shipment costing and settlement, such
as service agent, pricing date and settlement date, tax amount and
tax basis as well as organizational data such as company code, plant
and purchasing organization
There is an individual status at item level for each of the shipment
costing, account assignment and forwarding to FI functions.
Shipment Cost Document

Shipment cost sub-items:
Calculation of the shipment costs is carried out at the level of the
shipment cost sub-items and this is also the level at which the result
of the calculation is stored. Depending upon the calculation basis that
was determined, this can involve single delivery items, deliveries,
shipping units or the entire shipment cost item. Different information is
received depending on the type of sub-item involved. The delivery
item, for example, has no information on the handling units.
Shipment Cost Document (continued)

In Addition to Standard Pricing, The following functions are
possible during Shipment Cost Calculation
 Pricing procedure determination : This is Done Differently as
compared to Standard Pricing
 Determination of calculation basis : It is Possible to Set the
Base Upon which
 Freight cost determination/Shipment cost simulation
 Shipment comparisons
 Determination of geographical factors
 Pricing date and settlement date determination
 Tax determination
Shipment Cost Calculation

If the shipment is marked as relevant for shipment costing and when
the shipment attains the requisite status , the system determines the
appropriate shipment cost pricing procedure based on the
transportation planning point,shipment cost item category,shipping
type and the forwarding agent.
The pricing procedure contains all condition types that are to be used
for shipment costing and it defines the sequence in which calculation
is carried out in the shipment document.
Pricing Procedure Determination

This function includes:
• Calculation and display of shipment costs
• Display of shipment cost document
• Display of processing log
• Calculation of maximum price that should not be exceeded by
the forwarding agent(termed as Transportation tendering)
Using this functionality, it is possible to execute a Freight cost
Estimate during Shipment Processing. It gives an Idea
regarding what shipment costs might be incurred by the
Shipment. Using this, the transportation Planner can change
data such as forwarding agent, mode of transport, shipping
conditions etc, and calculate the shipment costs till it falls
under the allowed expenditure limit.
Freight Cost Estimate

Depending on the calculation base defined in each condition type
of the pricing procedure , the shipment Cost sub-items are
determined.
Eg: If calculation basis is delivery , the system creates shipment
cost sub items for all the delivery headers(i.e no delivery item or
handling unit related information) is considered.
The other calculation bases are :
• Delivery item
• Handling unit
• Shipment cost item
• All (i.e if you want to consider the deliveries as well as the
handling units as base for calculation. )
• Handling units including delivery item
Calculation Base Determination

If it’s required to compare two different shipment costs after
calculation and then determine the most/least favourable of the
two , the condition exclusion functionality of SAP can be used.
The system will automatically dectivate the condition type which
is not required (Depending on the customising settings and from
results of comparison)
Shipment Comparisons

Geographical factors like distance and location or tariff zone influence
the shipment costs including taxes.
The distance can be used as a scale for calculating the shipment
cost. It can either be automatically determined using scale basis or
from the routes of the shipment header or the stages, or can be
manually entered in the shipment.
The tariff zone can be automatically determined based on the postal
code area of a country.Besides it’s possible to maintain the condition
records based on adress data such as postal code, transportation
zone, country, region etc.
Determination Of Geographical
Factors

The pricing date and the settlement date can be customized to be
determined automatically
Date rules can be defined in customising indicating the possible
dates that can be proposed automatically during the shipment
cost document processing (depending on the shipment cost item
category)
The pricing and settlement date can be maintained manually in the
shipment cost document header.
Date Determination

Inorder to determine the taxes during shipment cost
determination, the system determines the destination and
departure countries based on the following rules:
Departure country:
 The system checks if the departure country of all the
deliveries in the shipment is the same, if yes, then it uses
that as the departure tax country.
 Else if the shipment cost item refers to the shipment
header,then the departure country from the first shipment
leg is used as the departure tax country else if shipment
cost item refers to the shipment stage(i.e. either a shipment
leg or a load transfer point or border crossing point), then
the departure country of that stage is used as the tax
departure country.
Tax Determination

Destination country:
 The system checks if the destination country of all the
deliveries in the shipment is the same, if yes, then it uses
that as the destination tax country
 Else if the shipment cost item refers to the shipment
header,then the receiving country of the last shipment leg
is used as the destination tax country else if shipment cost
item refers to a shipment leg, then the receiving country of
that leg is used as the tax country but if the shipment cost
item refers to the load transfer point or border crossing
point then the receiving country of the shipment stage is
used as the destination tax country

SD Shipment Costs

 The shipment type for which the shipment costs need to be
calculated should be marked as relevant for shipment
costing.
 The appropriate shipment cost type should be assigned to
the shipment type.
 The shipment cost type contains control elements that allow
different processing options for shipment cost documents.
These control elements include the overall status that the
shipment must have before the shipment cost document can
be created.
Prerequisites

1. Define Date Rules
2. Define Item Category
3. Define Shipment Cost Type
