Shipment Cost Settlement 13.3
As you can see from this illustration, you only use the shipment header and the
stage as the basis for your shipment rates for individual shipments (one delivery
document in one shipment document). Shipments that go beyond a border
crossing or that are mapped via preliminary, main, and subsequent legs are more
complex. Collective shipments or shipments for courier services, express delivery
companies, and parcel services have a different item category and cost category
combination. The individual shipment types can therefore be settled differently
via the shipment cost type and are more transparent for the different processing.
Shipment Cost Subitems
Only in the shipment cost subitems can you find the determined prices. The total
of all shipment cost subitems defines the overall costs for the shipment. There
are specific calculation bases for shipment cost settlement that can be generally
controlled via the cost category, but actually find the right base via the condition
technique (see Figure 13.38).
