SAP Note 801419 - Performance problems in shipment (cost) processing

Component : Freight Cost Processing - Transportation

Summary :
In VT02N and VT03N transactions, high delivery item counts lead to longer runtimes and potential 'TIME_OUT' errors. Likewise, in VI01 or VI04 transactions, updating VFKN can cause 'SAPSQL_ARRAY_INSERT_DUPREC' errors if delivery item count exceeds system capabilities. Best practices suggest not exceeding 3000 delivery items to avoid such issues. Configurations for shipment costs (T_56) should also align with system constraints to prevent errors during cost distribution adjustments. Handling units further complicate delivery item counts, requiring careful consideration during process mapping. Recommended consulting with SAP specialists to optimize system performance.

Key words :
transaction t_56 'define shipment cost types, relevant shipment cost item category, update item account assignment data, transaction vt03n 'display shipment', expect similar performance problems, field length vfkn-lfnkn, transaction vt02n 'change shipment', expect considerable runtime problems, shipment cost processing transactions, - delivery items' cost distribution
