Planned delivery costs are entered in the purchase order on an item basis. Provisions are set up for the relevant costs at goods receipt. The delivery costs planned in the purchase order are referenced when the invoice is entered. The provisions are cleared. The values proposed for the items come from the purchase order history.

Planned delivery costs are entered in the material valuation at goods receipt. In the case of a purchase order with account assignment, you debit the account assignment object.

Unplanned delivery costs are only entered when the invoice is entered. No provision is made at goods receipt.

When you enter unplanned delivery costs, the system does not check if planned delivery costs were entered in the purchase order.
