Inbound shipment costs accruals before PO goods receipt?

Dear all,

I would like to know if there is a possibility to generate an inbound shipment cost document before the goods receipt?

Actually we are buying material that is transported by train. It takes about 20 days to receive the goods at our plant but the rail carrier will send the invoice before we receive the goods. The issue is that we don't have any accrual and we are unable to pay the carrier in time. In addition we cannot do invoice verification in MIR7.

For information we use PO, Inbound delivery, Inbound shipment, Shipment cost document.

Is there any solution in SAP?

Thanks
