GR and the freight cost - two lines for stock GL account

282 Views

Hello all,

we have recently implemented a freight cost functionality in purchase orders so that the freight cost of the purchase goes to the stock price as soon as possible.

Everything was fine until accounting guys started to complain that when the GR is made it post to the stock account under one trading partner - in case the goods vendor and the freight vendor are both trading partners (members of the same capital group).

Detailed explanation:

- we use FR* conditions in POs

- the PO vendor is a company A - trading partner 1

- the vendor supplied in the FR* condition is a company B - trading partner 2

- lets say goods cost EUR 100 and trasportation costs EUR 10

- cross company posting is allowed for the GR doc type

So in this case GR makes an acc. document made of three lines

1) stock account EUR 110 - trading partner 1

2) material acquisition EUR 100 - trading partner 1

3) material acqusition EUR 10 - trading partner 2

which seems perfectly fine by me. However accoutn dpt. objects that the result should be:

1) stock account EUR 100 - trading partner 1

2) stock account EUR 10 - trading partner 2

3) material acquisition EUR 100 - trading partner 1

4) material acquisition EUR 10 - trading partner 2

their requisition is to split the first line of the current document while everything is identical, only trading partner provided is different.

Anyone knows a way how to achieve this or got any other idea?

Thank you, Peter
