Hi,
I have a query relating to invoice posting for planned delivery cost. I'll try to explain my question with the help of an example.
I need to procure some material RM1 - 100 qty@10 each so total 1000 bucks from supplier SRM1. I have issued a PO#45-01 to SRM1
In order to procure the material, I need to incur some freight expense as well say 100 bucks (provisional amount). This 100 bucks I kept it as planned delivery cost in the said PO#45-01 with a different vendor (freight vendor) say FRM-1.
I have also issued a separate service order to FRM1 which includes rates, terms of contract and other things.
I receive RM1 from SRM1 and prepare MIGO. Planned delivery cost was posted to a Freight Clearing Account by 100 bucks. Invoice relating to material supply also booked thru MIRO.
Thereafter I receive freight bill from the freight transporter. Now how do i book this freight bill -
-should I book it against the PO#45-01 wherein I have maintained the planned delivery cost so as to settle the freight clearing account or
-against the service order issued to the transporter by preparing service entry sheet / Service MRN and do a MIRO against it
If I book against service order, then freight clearing account does not get settled and if I book it against the PO then there is no 3-way check by the system coz PO does not include the rates / terms of agreement with the freight vendor and the relevance of issuing a service order is diminished.
Please advice.
Thanks & Regards,
