Hi,
I am implementing Shipment process for my company and have used LE-Shipping and LE-Transportation sub-components to accomplish this. I have encountered following behavior of SAP system and want community's opinion on it.
Observation: When I perform GR against inbound delivery, SAP adds shipment cost as planned delivery cost to material account and credits the accrual accounts. What it does during the process is that it posts accurate amounts with respect to vendors, BUTit sorts the vendors list. Now this disturbs the arrangement of accrual accounts I have configured against shipment relevant condition types in calculation schema (MM one, not the LE one). Have a look:
Following is the calculation schema defined in MM, with shipment cost conditions along with their respective accrual accounts:
Following is the shipment cost document, it has the vendors as service agents along with their respective payments values:
Following is the accounting document generated at the time of goods receipt against inbound delivery:
- Sequence of transaction keys/accrual keys is same as defined in calculation schema
- Amounts are correct with reference to vendors
- But vendors are sorted and their sequence does not match the sequence provided in shipment cost document (starting from ZLI - EM0008 in above figure)
Let me know if someone has an idea how to stop system from sorting the vendors at the time of shipment cost posting.
If this is standard behavior of SAP, then someone is SAP's Procurement line of business could provide the logic behind it or may even think about fixing it 
Have a great day!
Kind regards,
Ali
