The freight cost needs to be loaded on the inventory

[Former Member]

Hi Sap gurus,

My requirement goes like this.

<b><u>The freight cost needs to be loaded on the inventory.</u></b>

<b>The freight vendor is different from the material vendor. The feright vendor is maintained w.r.t the condition type in the PO. The invoice has to be raised w.r.t the same PO but to two diff vendors (freight vendor and material vendor).

The feright vendor undergoes a full procurement cycle (PR, quotation, PO etc). The material vendor also goes a full procurement cycle. Therefore we have one material PO and one service po(for freight). The ultimate goal is to capture both the freight, insurance etc..and load it on the material inventory.</b>

Need your advice urgently.

Regards,

Adeeb

Hi,

If you are using a freight condition in the PO, you will not have another service PO for the freight vendor.

You have 1 PO, 1 GR and 2 invoice entries.

The freight cost is automatically charged on the material if the material is on moving average price.

If you are using the shipment LES module, you can do differently : a service entry sheet will be created automatically in a service PO for the forwarder.

Hi Philippe

Thank you so much for your reply. It was most useful.However, the invoicing is to be done separately for the material and freight vendor.

When the two entries appear, the complete invoice amount (material and freight) are done to the material vendor alone.

Pl. help.

Hi,

You need to select the vendor for that particular condition type in item details of PO.

Just follow the concept of third party custom clearing of imports.

Thanks

Hi Suresh

Thank you for your reply. I did maintain a different vendor in the condition type in PO however, still it goes to the material vendor only.

I am also aware of maintaining a freight vendor at the time of GR. However, no condition type appeared when I tried.

Pl. help.

Hi,

You need to do the MIRO 2 times : one for the vendor of the material and one for the forwarder. at the bottom of the miro you can select purchase order items with material and or additionnal costs. This is the way to separate the amount for the 2 suppliers.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for all your helpful answers and tips. They have been most useful.

Today again, the client came up with requirements on the same line:

The Material is required to undergo the full procurement cycle(PR, RFQ, PO, GR & LIV).

The Freight is also required to undergo the full procurement cycle as a service(PR, RFQ, PO, GR & LIV).

Therefore we have 2 different purchasing documents.

However, the inventory of the material is to carry the freight cost. The material is valued with moving average price.

Please suggest if material should be changed to standard price.

Pl. help with a suggestion to the above business requirement.

Hi,

Choose material in the Material Tab in MIRO if you want to make postings to material accounts during invoice entry.

To see material tab in MIRO, activate direct posting to to material accounts.

SPRO ->MM -> Logistics Invoice verification -> Incoming invoice -> Activate direct postings to G/L accounts and material account -> Tick direct posting to material = active ( X = TCULIV-MATERIAL)

When posting the service invoice enter relvant material in the material tab.
