STO with freight--to beloaded on material at GR--Critical

[Former Member]

Hi,

Scenario:Cross company stock transport

Goods are transfered from plants A to B.

PO in B with freight condition FRB1 is to be created.

Goods issued against this PO.

Goods are received in th B plant.

B comes to know the EXACT freight costs ( clearing charges,customs transportation etc) only after goods reach to B, so he wants to enter/modify the EXACT cost at the time of GR ie to load this cost on material.

But once GI is done, system does not allow to change/add the conditions in PO.

How this can be handled so to have delivery costs loaded on material at the time of GR in plant B?

This question has been raised by me earlier also but yet to find out any conclusive suggestion.This is very critical for me.

PLEASE suggest how this type of requirement is mapped.I am sure this is a very commonly followed process in any industry and in SAP must be mapped.

Thanks in Advance

Hi

Since this is an intercompany, it is similar like a standard procurement from a vendor.

In std purchasing, you have to indicate planned del costs in PO and the variances are managed in MIRO. Or before GR you can amend the PO.

In this case, as GI done, the pricing will not allow you to change.

If you are not willing to process the differential amount as unplanned delivery costs, please use the process mentioned below:

1) Indicate the approx freight costs in PO.

2) Make MIRO for the delivery costs before GR and put the actual freight anounts in MIRO

3) Post GR. Here the freight values will be copied over from the MIRO document rather than PO.

4) Process invoice for goods.

This process is followed in imports (processing del costs before GR).

Hi Sairam,

Thanks for the feedback.

In my case the exact delivery costs are only known when the goods reach the destination.

I can put some prefixed value as the delivery cost.But once I issue the goods vide delivery created, I can not alter the freight costs.

In most of the cases, it will be very difficult to put the exact costs in PO and that is the problem.

How this can be handled then ?

Is there any way by means of which we can have conditions in Inbound delivery by means of which I can create a Inbound delivery and put the exact conditions there ..

Please suggest a another approach.

Thanks in advance
