Creating Shipment Cost Documents in the Background
Using Transaction VI06, you can start the creation of shipment cost documents.
Please refer to Section 5.3.3 regarding this topic.
Finally, I want to mention the option that you can forward your shipment costs to
your Accounting department after they have been calculated. To do this, you must
activate or set the account determination in your shipment cost settlement. Here,
you must coordinate with your Accounting department which accounts should be
posted in which cases. I omitted this topic because it involves many accounting
issues that I cannot describe in this book for reasons of space. I also must omit the
credit memo procedure with forwarding agents. To do this, you must store your
purchasing parameters to create an order for each shipment type. Here, we would
also leave the shipment process and come to the purchase order handling.
13.4 Summary
This chapter introduced the structure of the stages within shipment documents
as well as shipment cost settlement. It also described the special features that you
need to take into account for packing at the shipment level or the delivery and
shipment level. Special functions (outputs within a shipment) as well as the different
statuses and activity profiles are described in the following chapters.
