Planned Delivery Costs
Planned delivery costs are delivery costs agreed upon with the vendor, a carrier or a customs office before the purchase order is created and are entered when the purchase order is entered.
Planned delivery costs can be divided up according to the following criteria:
Your system administrator can define further origin types using the conditions functionality in the Customizing system of Purchasing.
Planned delivery costs are automatically posted to a clearing account when you enter the goods receipt. Each origin type has its own clearing account. When you post the invoice for these delivery costs, the corresponding clearing accounts are settled.
In Invoice Verification, it is possible to list all the planned delivery costs for either a purchase order, a vendor, or a bill of lading. You can copy the relevant items from this list into the document.
You do not have to specify a certain vendor for planned delivery costs. When you plan the delivery costs in a purchase order, you can enter a vendor (for example, a freight supplier or a customs office). In Invoice Verification, however, the delivery costs can be posted to another invoicing party.
Planned delivery costs are entered on the purchase order for each item. At invoice receipt, they are allocated to the relevant items.
In addition to planned delivery costs, the buyer can set up provisions for miscellaneous delivery costs for an order item. These provisions are automatically posted at goods receipt in the same way as planned delivery costs. However, unlike planned delivery costs, they cannot be referenced when the invoice is entered. Invoices for these costs must be posted as unplanned delivery costs.
