Hi all,
I have a question about booking fixed freight cost at GR time. My client orders trucks from a different vendor to pick up PO items. Therefore, at GR time, the cost of freight is booked into the inventory account regardless to how many items on the PO have been received(they are paying freight per truck). For example:
case 1: If PO has 2 items ,and at Goods Receive both items arrive. We book the cost of freight $1000 into the inventory account along with the two items.
case 2: If PO has 2 items, but at Goods Receive only one item arrives. We book the full cost of freight $1000 into the inventory account along with the item received. Next time when the 2nd item arrives, we will then book another freight $1000. The freight does not decrease because only one item is delivered.
I have been playing with freight conditions but I don't find anything that meets the requirement. Basically, all the conditions distribute the condition values based on the calculation types defined. I am looking for something that does not distribute the cost and gets booked at GR in full amount. Maybe I am not supposed to look at conditions at all.
The business scenario makes sense to me, but I don't know how to handle it with SAP. If you have any idea, please let me know.
Thanks,
Eagle.

In that case, what would be the best work around?
I thought about entering a new PO or line item just for freight, but then the cost of goods won't be accurate. Entering adjustment journal entries sounds like a bad plan. Adjusting freight cost on each item at GR time seems hard to do because items could be partially received.
What do you guys think?
Thanks,

one workaround is unplanned freight with distribution, however this works only if the stock is still there when the invoice is posted.
check this thread:

At least you will find info about what is not really working.
SAP explains in OSS note 304178 that there is no solution.

I have also faced the same problem, there is no standard solution for this, and I am not aware of a development with which this can be done. I had raised an OSS, even SAP has expressed their limitation.
