Delivery Costs 

Definition

Delivery costs are costs that are invoiced for a delivery over and above the value of the delivery itself. This includes freight charges, customs duty, or other costs.

Use

In the ERP system, there are the following types of delivery costs:

·        Planned Delivery Costs

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

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.

When you enter the invoice, you can change planned delivery costs and enter unplanned delivery costs.
