multiple shipment one shipment cost

[jasonwangcn]

Hi All Expert,

We are using trucks to transport goods to customer.One delivery many need 1 to 6 trucks to transport them.

1 to 6 shipments created based on number of trucks used.But we have price agreement with forwarder that we when we use over 5 trucks we got 10% discount of shipment cost.

I noticed for sap shipment cost can only be created from one shipment. This will cause our shipment cost calculation can not consider 'over 5 trucks 10% discount' term.

Why sap can not support multiple shipments one shipment cost like several sales order one delivery?

Is there any work around to realize this 'over 5 trucks 10% discount' team?

Thanks in advance

Hi Frank,

thats true. The base for charge calculation is the Freight Order. For our customers we could solve it via enhancement. There are several approaches. You could for example have a charge type for 10% discount which will be only applied if there are 5 related FOs for the respective delivery existing (needs to be checked via enhancement). The problem with that approach might be that you have some rounding errors.

Hope that helps already.

Cheers

Tom

Tom,

Many thanks! But i am using LE-TRA with ECC not SAP TM.I am asking how can i realize the requirement within ECC.

Hi Frank,

You can achieve this if you can use SAP TM instead of LE-TRA solution.

Freight Order = Shipment

Freight Settlement Document = Shipment Cost Document

We have option of creating collective Freight Settlement document for multiple Freight Orders.

Since SAP stops support for LE-TRA by 2025, I am not forseeing any update in LE-TRA side. Hope this answers you question.

Thanks for your reply. I know SAP TM can realize this but it is far away from my current situation. I need the solution now to satisfy my customer.
