determination and specify whether the item of the corresponding item category
is to be created automatically or must be entered manually.
You can also control which system activities
are to be carried out for the corresponding item:
- Calculation shipment costs
- G/L account determination
- Forwarding the shipment costs to Financial
Accounting (FI)

Notes
You can, for example, create several items for
a shipment stage per cost type. You may wish to do this if you want to post
the basic freight and a surcharge for the stage to different G/L accounts. If
you need to post to several accounts for one cost type, you can specify
several item categories in this table for the shipment cost typeand the cost
type.
