Release 3.0 enables you to enter a freight vendor in a goods receipt for a purchase order that differs from the vendor in the purchase order. The delivery costs are assigned to the freight vendor.
You can only enter a freight vendor in the goods receipt if allowed to do so by the corresponding condition type for delivery costs.
There is a new indicator "Vendor GR" in the detail data of the condition type (Purchasing Customizing). It has the following possible values:
- no vendor can be entered (as in Release 2.2) '_'
- the vendor can only be entered if the vendor in the condition
has not been maintained '1'
- the vendor can always be entered '2'
Check the definition of condition types for delivery costs. If necessary,
set the indicator "Vendor GR" in the detail data for the condition type.
Proceed
To find out more about setting condition types in Purchasing, refer to the step Specify pricing in the Implementation Guide for Purchasing.
If maintenance of a freight vendor at the time of goods receipt is defined
in a condition type for purchase orders, choose Goto -> Freight
vendors... on the detail screen of an item.
A dialog box will appear in which you can assign a vendor to the condition
type.
