When you enter expenses using the Planned Expenses with Settlement screen, you select four parameters to determine the condition type. The entered data can be displayed and referenced when you post the expenses to the account. It may be useful for processing such things as commissions and logistics expenses since these are fixed after the corresponding logistics process is finally completed. For more information about the procedure, see Entering Planned Expenses with the New Screen.

You also can estimate planned expenses only as an element of contract pricing. In this case, you cannot see these values during other logistics processes. In the maintenance screen, Planned Expenses, you directly select the expense type and maintain the planned value. This may be useful for processing any discount or surcharge, since these are seldom influenced by the logistics process. For more information about the procedure, see Entering Planned Expenses.
