Shipment Cost Processing

Purpose
This component contains the functions for calculating and settling shipment costs in transportation. The following
items describe how the shipment costs are determined in the shipment, how they are transmitted to accounting, and
how they are settled with the service provider. The system also shows you how to obtain information regarding the
shipment costs to be expected in the order.

Features

Calculation of shipment costs is carried out using the condition technique in SAP pricing. For further information on
pricing, see Conditions and Pricing. As well as general pricing functionality, the following additional functions are
available for shipment costs calculation:

Pricing procedure determination

The system determines the pricing procedure to be used to calculate shipment costs. Determination is carried out by
transportation planning point, service agent, shipment cost item, and shipping type.

Determining the Calculation Base

The origin of the data upon which a condition type is based during shipment costing determines the calculation basis.
The following possibilities exist:

Delivery
Delivery item
Handling unit
Shipment cost item
All

Determination of Geographical Influencing Factors

The following options are available for representing geographical considerations in transportation:

Distances
In the shipment stage and/or the shipment header, you can either enter the distance manually or it can be
automatically copied from the route stage. If you want the system to determine distance automatically, you can also
use a customer enhancement (enhancement V56DISTZ).

Locations and zones

You can use some of the data from the address data in the shipment (e.g. country, postal code, transportation zone)
for condition determination. This data is separated according to departure and destination locations. The system can
also automatically determine a tariff zone. A tariff zone is the combination of a postal code area of a country from the
point of view of shipment costs calculation.

Determination of the pricing date and the settlement date

The system can automatically determine the pricing date and/or the settlement date. You can also define a date rule
in Customizing in which a sequence of shipment deadlines is defined to be used as date proposals. When defining
the item categories, you can then assign a date rule for the pricing date and the settlement date.

Shipment Comparisons
You can combine the conditions of a pricing procedure into groups. The system evaluates these conditions and
compares the values of the groups. You can configure the system so that the most favorable group is always
selected.

Tax Determination

When determining shipment costs, you can also have the system determine the corresponding tax. Certain rules
regarding the tax country of departure and destination apply to this calculation. The system takes into account
whether the shipment cost items refer to the shipment header or to a shipment stage and whether the stage includes
a load transfer or border crossing point.

Constraints
The component includes the following functionality constraints:

It is not possible to carry out shipment costing in the customer billing document depending upon transportationspecific data (for example, freight code, means of transport).
You cannot settle shipment costs internally if a company code is performing shipments for another company code.
