Calculating freight costs depending on incoterms

[t_jungesblut]

Hello experts,

We're looking for a way to disable freight cost calculation or freight cost distribution depending on the chosen incoterm. As of right now, freight costs are calculated for all freight orders and are always distributed to the relevant documents. However, we would like to disable this behavior for incoterms such as DDP, where freight charges are irrelevant for billing.

Are there suitable settings in the rate tables, calculation sheets or freight agreements I've overlooked?

Kind regards,

Tim

Hi Tim

There are various way to handle this requirement. you may use Precondition or Freight agreement determination rule as explained above by Rene and Rogerio. . In case reporting is also a concern then you may also evaluate below options:

Option 1. Determining Freight Order type based on Intercom. You can determine freight order type using BRF conditions during Freight planning.

For Intercom which needs Calculation, Cost, determine FO type which allow these, For incoterm which does not require Charge calculation, cost determine another FO type where charge, cost is disabled.

Options 2. In case you want to keep FO type same then there is a standard Badi available to activate FSD type. You may activate this BADI to determine FSD type based on BRF conditions. In this case, FO type will be same but FSD type can be change according to Incoterm. In configuration, you may disable charge and cost in FSD type or push FSD type to statistical accounts during finance posting.

Hi Tim,

By the standard as far the flag is set up on the customizing you have freight cost and cost distribution in the FO.

You can control using the:

Oss Note 3082579 - Freight Agreement determination through conditions

H Tim,

You can create a precondition (TCM_PRECON) and assign this precondition the the Freight Agreement Item to disable al Charge Types for that specific Incoterm or assign the precondition to a the Charge Type in case a specific Charge Type isn't relevant.

In your case you can create a precondition based on Incoterm and specify: Is not equal to DDP. So in that case it will calculate charges, but not in case Incoterm DDP is used.
