In the SAP System, delivery costs can be:

Planned Delivery Costs

Planned delivery costs are entered in the purchase order. At goods receipt, a provision is posted to a freight or customs clearing account. This account is cleared when the invoice is posted.

If there are no price differences between the delivery costs planned in the purchase order and the delivery costs specified in the invoice, the material master record does not change when the invoice is posted.

If there are price differences, these are dealt with in exactly the same manner as price variances for ordered materials.

Unplanned Delivery Costs

Unplanned delivery costs are delivery costs that were not specified in the purchase order and are only entered when you enter the invoice. They are posted in exactly the same manner as subsequent debits/credits.

For a material subject to moving average price control, unplanned delivery costs are posted to the stock account, provided that there is sufficient stock coverage. For a material subject to standard price control, unplanned delivery costs are posted to a price difference account.
