To create accruals in FI for the planned payments, the calculated shipment cost items must be forwarded to FI.

The shipment cost items must have status account assigned. In other words, G/L account determination and assignment for cost accounting must have been carried out already.

When forwarding the calculated shipment cost items to FI, the system carries out the following:

• It creates a service entry sheet that refers to the purchase order determined.
• It posts acceptance of services performed.
• It creates an accounting document for the accruals.
• Further subsequent documents are created in FI.
