Goods receipt against inbound delivery

Question

After an import po has been created then an inbound delivery is created also.So after the inbound delivery we do goods receipt and our goods receipt is done against po even when their is inbound delivery.The reason why the goods receipt is done with reference to the po is that we have different vendors for all the delivery costs for example we have a vendor for custom charges, a vendor for freight charges, a vendor for terminal charges.so the goods receipt is done against the po so that when doing the miro they can select the different vendors.But inbound delivery is done with a single vendor and if the goods receipt is done against the inbound delivery it might acquire all the costs to that vendor.Is there any method whereby we can be able to do our goods receiot with reference to inbound delivery that will also capture all the delivery costs

Answer 1

The process you should follows is this:
1) PO - define all the custom and freight condition types and enter the corresponding vendor in the condition types. Also, in the confirmations tab, choose Inbound delivery
2) When the vendor ships the material, create an inbound delivery from VL31N to track it (against the actual import vendor)
3) When the goods reaches customs, do a MIRO against the PO choosing 2-Planned delivery costs. This will credit the Customs vendor.
4) When the goods arrive at your plant, do a MIGO against the Inbound delivery from step 2. Enter the MIRO number of step 2 in the popup that appears.
5) Now do the MIRO for the actual import vendor and the freight vendors if applicable.
Try this in your sandbox system. Doing a GR against IBD will not cause any difference in the accounting entries.
