LE Transportation - Assign and Transfer Costs

In this scenario, when perform 'Cost Transfer' of Shipment Cost document in VI02, here the Purchasing Document (long term PO) must be created first as the system will look for the existing PO when trying to generate the service entry sheet into it. (Here, you can use any Purchasing Document Type as it is not the matching criteria when the system search for the PO. Note: IMG - LES - Transportation - Shipment Cost - Settlement - Assign Purchasing Data). 

The matching criteria for PO search is 'Vendor/Forwarding Agent' + Purchasing Organization + Purchasing Group + Plant -> Transportation Planning Plant + Shipment Cost Type.

(You can find in the presentation also some notes on reasons of why the PO was not found/assigned when perform the Cost Transfer)

Alternatively, use SMOD to locate package VTRA for the following user exit

V54U0006 (Shipment PO - Header data supply)

V54U0007 (Shipment PO - Item data supply) 

for enhancement.

(the features are valid as at ECC6.0 EhP6)
