Definition

An object in which the shipment cost-related data are combined. The shipment cost document allows you to refer to parts of the shipment document for which shipment costing must be carried out separately.

Structure

The shipment cost document consists of the following parts:

The shipment cost header contains general information on the entire document. You can view status, reference and administration information. The status information is the cumulative status that is calculated from the individual items.

The items refer either to a shipment header or a shipment stage. The items contain general data for shipment costing and settlement, such as service agent, pricing date and settlement date, tax amount and tax basis as well as organizational data such as company code, plant and purchasing organization.

There is an individual status at item level for each of the shipment costing, account assignment and forwarding to FI functions.

Calculation of the shipment costs is carried out at the level of the shipment cost sub-items and this is also the level at which the result of the calculation is stored. Depending upon the calculation basis that was determined, this can involve single delivery items, deliveries, shipping units or the entire shipment cost item. Different information is received depending on the type of sub-item involved. The delivery item, for example, has no information on the handling units.
