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:
|
For the 1st invoice item |
Invoice value |
|
Goods receipt 1 (50 PC à $20) |
1000 |
|
Goods receipt 2 (50 PC à $20) |
1000 |
|
Total |
2000 |
|
For the 2ndt invoice item |
|
|
Goods receipt 1 (0 PC) |
0 |
|
Goods receipt 2 (50 PC à $10) |
500 |
|
Total |
500 |
This results in a relationship of 2000: 500 = 4: 1. The unplanned delivery costs of $100 are distributed with a ratio of 4:1 to the invoice items for material A and B.
$80 of the delivery costs are allocated to material A.
$20 of the delivery costs are allocated to material B.
