Dimensional Weight Profile with Normalized Quantities (NLQ)

[Ronald_Knienieder]

Dear TM community,

we have an agreement with a freight forwarder that 1 loading meter is charged with at least 1500 kg weight.

We need to compare the real weight with the volume weight. The higher of both is the chargeable weight.

With the feature to work with normalized and additional normalized quantities (NLQ / ALQ), we can bring the "loading meter" information into the FU/FO and of course into the FSD. Rate Determination Based on Normalized and Additional Normalized Quantities | SAP Help Portal

But the "Dimensional weight profile" which is actually used for the calculation of the volume weight covers only the volume of the FU, not the ALQ.

I need to calculate in my example: 

• 1 EPL = 0,4 LDM ✅ done with the NLQ feature
• 0,4 LDM x 1500 kg = 600 kg
• Real weight: 210 kg
• Chargeable weight: 600 kg
• The factor (1500 kg) can be different per forwarding agency.

Did I miss anything in SAP that could meet this requirement in the standard? 

Thanks

Hi Ronald,

have you checked this SAP blog post on the chargable weight calculation? They call it Dimensional weight or DIM weight.

so far no answer from the community. 

I think an option is to enhance the calculation of the chargeable weight in class /SCMTMS/CL_TCC_CB_CHRG_WEIGHT. By this, I can use the dimensional weight profile (which can be different for each forwarder), but I would just update the calculation accordingly so that the NLQ is used to mutiply with the factor in the profile.

Indeed I have analyzed the dimensional weight profile function, but the dimensional weight profile just recognizes the volume of the cargo, not the NLQ/ALQ quantity.

If I would have the m3 of the cargo, then it's easy, but I have only the loading meters available (ALQ).

Hi Ronald, about this question. Did you find a solution? We have the same issue.
