Transferring Shipment Costs to Accounting 

Prerequisites

To transfer shipment cost items to FI, they must have status Account assigned. In other words, G/L account determination and assignment for cost accounting must have been carried out already.

Transferring of shipment costs in order to create accruals comprises two functions:

Procedure

  1. In the shipment cost document, go to the detail screen of a shipment cost item, for which costing and account assignment has already been carried out and which you want to transfer to FI.
  2. Select the Transfer indicator. This indicator can only be selected after account assignment.

    3. Purchase order determination is automatically started when you select the Transfer indicator. As long as the indicator is selected, the purchase order will be displayed in the Service procurement tab field in the Purchase order field. For further information, see Purchase Order Determination.

  3. Save the shipment cost document.

Result

When you save, the system creates a service entry sheet with reference to the purchase order determined, an accounting document for creation of accruals and further documents in FI.
