Re: Include freight costs in standard cost estimates

Hello,

For the benefit of those who might be interested in implementing the inclusion of freight in standard cost using the material valuation strategy in the valuation variant, here is a brief summary on how to go about carrying it out:

1. In the Valuation Variant (OKK4), select Material valuation strategy "U-User Exit".
2. With help from MM resource, create a new pricing condition type (vendor).
3. Have the MM resource help create access sequence (CoCd/Plant/PurchOrg/Material /Vendor) for this new pricing condition type.
4. Get help from an ABAP resource to maintain user exit: COPCP005 by updating the include ZXCKAU08 in function module EXIT_SAPLCK21_002.  Code in the include needs to be added to access condition record
5. Maintain the freight rates in VK11.
6. Cost the materials using CK11n (or CK40n). 

Freight should be included in the standard cost.

I am trying to document these steps based on my vague memory of an implementation I worked on a few years ago.  If I missed something, please forgive me!

Cheers,

TD
