Example: Distributing Unplanned Delivery Costs 

In Customizing for Logistics Invoice Verification, you configure how the system is to distribute unplanned delivery costs among the invoice items. If the unplanned delivery costs are to be distributed among the invoice items, you can only post an invoice for delivery costs if you have already posted an invoice.

Unplanned delivery costs are distributed among the invoice items in proportion to the total invoiced values in the current invoice, for example, as follows:

This results in the system distributing the unplanned delivery costs as follows:

  1. First invoice item at time of first goods receipt = $1000

    2. First invoice item at time of second goods receipt = $1000

    Total: $2000

  2. Second invoice item at time of second goods receipt = $500

    3. Total: $500

  3. This gives a ratio of 2000 : 500 = 4 : 1

The unplanned delivery costs of $100 are distributed in the ratio of 4 : 1 among the invoice items for materials A and B:

$80 of the delivery costs are allocated to material A.

$20 of the delivery costs are allocated to material B.
