Other Shipment Functions
In this case, the ZWIN condition type is an overhead rate as a percentage that is
added to the price. The price consists of the total of the actual shipment rate and
a defined overhead rate for dangerous goods transports. However, the percentage
overhead rate of a winter fee from the total of the two items is used. Therefore,
in the From and To columns you select the first and the last condition type of a
pricing procedure.
Set the checkmark in the Manual column if you want to specify the condition
type manually. Set the checkmark in the Mandatory column, if this condition
type is mandatory. If the condition type is only used for statistics and not for the
determination of the shipment costs, check the Statistics checkbox. The Print (=
print the condition type) and Subtotal (a subtotal is supposed to be formed at this
point) columns are not relevant for shipment cost settlement. The Requirement,
AltCTy (Condition formula for alternative calculation type) and AltCBV (Alternative
formula for condition base value) columns were already described for the
condition type.
In the condition procedure, you can use subtotals where you want (see Rows 300
and 500 in Figure 13.46). For the percentage calculations, you can also refer to
these subtotals.
Determination Rules for Pricing Procedures
Having defined the pricing procedure, you must now assign the procedure to a
search strategy. Unfortunately, the determination is very complex and is often misunderstood.
Usually, customers make only basic settings. But I will nevertheless
briefly introduce the basic idea of the pricing procedure determination.
Figure 13.47 provides a list with the criteria on which the determination of the
correct pricing procedure depends. Here, a total of four criteria are considered:
transportation planning point, item procedure group, service agent procedure
group, and shipping type procedure group.
Let us start with the item procedure group. As already mentioned (see Figure 13.35),
items with a specific item category are created in the shipment cost document.
These item categories can take different forms and have different effects on the
shipment cost settlement. Add similar item categories in an item procedure group
to determine the pricing procedure for each item category.
