Unplanned Delivery Costs (SAP Library - MM Invoice Verification and Material Valuation)

Unplanned Delivery Costs

Unplanned delivery costs are delivery costs that were not agreed upon in the purchase order and are not entered until the invoice is received. The following possibilities exist:

Unplanned delivery costs refer to a purchase order, but have not been entered in the purchase order.

If unplanned delivery costs refer to a purchase order, the system can determine the accounts to which the costs must be posted from the purchase order. If there are several items in the purchase order, the system automatically distributes the costs on the basis of the total values already invoiced.

Example: Distributing Unplanned Delivery Costs

Unplanned delivery costs do not refer to a purchase order.

When you enter an invoice for delivery costs that do not refer to a purchase order, the system cannot allocate the costs and you have to tell it which accounts the delivery costs should be posted to.

if you know the material for which the delivery costs were incurred, you can debit the costs directly to the material stock.
if you do not know the material, you can post the costs to a G/L account. In the standard system, there is a special G/L account for unplanned delivery costs that cannot be allocated to any specific account.
