Allocating Planned Delivery Costs

At invoice receipt, the system lists all planned delivery costs that match the allocation. You can have the system list planned delivery costs by vendor, purchasing documents, delivery notes, or bills of lading.

Changing the Invoicing Party

Planned delivery costs are not restricted to a particular creditor. When you plan the delivery costs in a purchase order, you can enter a special vendor, such as a freight supplier, for the delivery costs. In Invoice Verification, however, you can post the delivery costs to another invoicing party.

Posting Planned Delivery Costs

Planned delivery costs are automatically posted to clearing accounts at goods receipt. Each origin type has its own clearing account. When you post the invoice for these delivery costs, the corresponding clearing accounts are cleared.
