Use this component to trigger the verification of an invoice, received from a supplier or carrier for transportation charges.

Create a freight settlement document in SAP TM for the transportation services provided to you by a carrier. SAP TM transfers the freight settlement document to SAP ERP. You can verify the invoices you receive from your carrier against the information contained in the freight settlement document.

The transportation charges are calculated in SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) on the basis of a freight order, service order, or freight booking.

Freight Settlement Document

You can create an individual FSD for one freight order, service order, or freight booking. You can create a collective FSD for multiple freight orders or freight bookings. You can also create multiple FSDs at the same time.

Process

New FSD

  1. Create the freight settlement document (... Mass Creation of Freight Settlement Documents )
    • System uses certain criteria to divide settlements when you choose to create a collective settlement document
  2. Review the settlement document details for consistency
  3. Transfer the settlement document to SAP ERP to post accruals
  4. SAP ERP confirms the accrual creation
  5. SAP ERP verifies the expected invoice against the actual invoice

Add or change charge amounts directly in the existing freight order

  1. Use the background function Creation and Transfer of Freight Settlement Documents (program /SCMTMS/SFIR_CREATE_BATCH) to create, change, and transfer freight settlement documents to SAP ERP
    • If the new or changed amount results in the invoicing status of the freight order changing to Partially Invoiced, you can create a new freight settlement document to send the changed amounts to SAP ERP.
    • If the new or changed amount results in the invoicing status of the freight order changing to Over Invoiced, you can create a credit memo in SAP TM to send the changed amounts to SAP ERP.
    • If you do not want to create a new settlement document or credit memo, you can cancel the existing settlement document provided the life cycle status of the settlement document is not Invoice Verified in SAP ERP. You can then create a new settlement document that contains the complete amount including the changes.

Change charge amounts directly in the freight settlement document

..., provided the life cycle status of the settlement document is not Invoice Verified in SAP ERP. When you transfer the settlement document to SAP ERP, SAP ERP cancels the existing purchase order and SES and creates a new purchase order and SES.
