Account determination for delivery costs/freight

[v_s6]

Hi All,

In our implementation the client has said that they have 5 different accounts for delivery costs such as air freight, road freight, ocean freight,courier and custom fees.These accounts are same in case of planned and unplanned delivery costs.

Now my question is how to configure them in account determination? Please let me know how to do it?

For planned delivery costs should we have 5 different condition types configured which in turn will be attached to the G/L accounts and then have that condition type in the PO either manually or automatically by maintaining condition record?

But for unplanned delivery costs how to handle this? When I check in OBYC for transaction key UPF for unplanned dely costs I can enter only 1 account. How can I determine 5 different accounts here?

Please give some inputs..

Regards,

Create seperate condition types as per requirement & add them in your pricing procedure.

For UPF, you can assign G/Ls valuation classwise.

No it is not possible to assign accounts to UPF via valuation classes...we can assign only one account to UPF.

how can I have 5 different accounts assigned to UPF?

Any new ideas anyone.....how to have multiple accounts assigned/determined for UPF (unplanned delivery costs)?

Has someone ever had this requirement of posting unplanned delivery costs to multiple accounts?

Has anyone got any solution for this? We are facing similar problem wherein we need to post unplanned packaging cost apart from unplanned delivery cost and need to map 2 different GL accounts in OBYC.

We had a similar issue and when raised to SAP, they confirmed that there is no way more than one GL can be assigned to UPF key in OBYC. 

They suggested to use WRX key using valuation classes, wherein different GLs can be assigned. Also worth checking if substitution rule can be used on the basis of some identifier to segregate the various unplanned costs.

Hope this gives some direction!

Thanks
