Handling Markups
Use
A handling markup is the percentage of the internal warehouse transfer price that represents the handling costs (transportation costs, or costs for picking goods in a distribution center, for example) in a cross-company-code stock transfer. The internal warehouse transfer price for the issuing site corresponds to the purchase price for the receiving site.
Using handling markups enables you to include the handling costs in the valuation of the stock and thus to charge the organizational unit responsible for the costs incurred.
Handling markups are modeled in the system as planned markups in Pricing and can be incorporated into internal warehouse transfer prices in the following ways:
You can use Pricing to calculate the internal warehouse transfer price before the stock transfer takes place. A condition record then exists in the system. The system find this as the internal purchase price when a warehouse order is created.
If you do not want to calculate the internal warehouse transfer price in advance, you can have the system calculate it based on the valuation price (moving average price) when you create a warehouse order. The purchase price for the receiving site consists of the valuation price plus the planned markup.
Legislation may exist that prevents logistics activities between two company codes for which a joint consolidated balance sheet is drawn up increasing stock value.
Prerequisites
The following prerequisites must be fulfilled.
You can use the site maintenance function to assign the issuing site to the distribution chain for the relevant receiving site.
You need to create a customer master record for the distribution chain of the issuing site in the receiving site’s master record. You also need to maintain the receiving site as a customer for the issuing site’s company code. The issuing site must also be entered as the supplying site in the receiving site’s master record.
You must enter the source of supply key for internal procurement for the relevant receiving site in the logistics data of the master records for the articles involved.
If you want to calculate the warehouse transfer price in advance, the sales unit of the issuing site and the order unit of the receiving site must be the same.

Calculation Schema
Purchase price calculation schema RMISR1 is supplied as an example.
Price determination runs through several steps, stopping when it finds a price.
You can use Pricing to calculate the internal warehouse transfer price before the stock transfer takes place. Price determination searches for this warehouse transfer price (condition type P100) first in the calculation schema.
If no calculated price is available, the valuation price (moving average price, condition type P101) is determined. If a valuation price is available, the warehouse transfer price consists of the valuation price plus the handling markup (condition type ZG01).
If neither a calculated price nor a valuation price is found, you can enter the warehouse transfer price manually (condition type PBXX). The valuation price will not be available if, for example, goods receipt has not yet taken place.
As with external vendors, other conditions as well as prices can be valid, for example freight conditions. These condition types do not require a particular definition.
Condition Types
Condition type P100 is defined as a quantity-dependent price and references sales condition VKP0 of application V. This reference allows you to calculate the warehouse transfer price. The warehouse transfer price of the issuing site (VKPO) thus becomes the delivered price of the store (P100).
Condition type P101 has condition category G and represents the moving average price for the issuing site. This means that no reference to the condition types in application V is required here.
Condition type ZG01 represents the planned markup that you maintain in Pricing and therefore references sales condition type AUFS.
Access Sequences
Access sequence VKP0 (application M, Purchasing) for condition type P100 is, despite the reference, different from access sequence VKP0 (application V, Sales) for condition type VKP0. Different fields in the communication structures are used to access each condition type. The same applies to access sequence VKWG for condition type ZG01.
