Condition from PO into CCS in ML

Question

Hi experts,
Currently, we have the following scenario. We have a material X, which consists of the following costs:
- the main cost of the material: 20 EUR
- the import duty of the material: 2 EUR
Well, I have managed to create a standard cost estimate, using the condition type from PO, and assign that import duty into its own cost component structure. So, in the CCS, i have:
- Direct material: 20
- Import Duty: 2
However, in the ML view, whether it is CKMCCD or CKM3N, this import duty cost component is empty. Moreover, the client needs to be able to analyze the variance from the import duty.
Have anyone ever deal with such cases?
Would you guys mind telling me what is the best approach to my case?
Thank you very much in advance
Best Regards,

Hi Erwin ,
Hope your situation is :                                   
          Standard Cost in SAP                    Actual Cost     
"A" Product           $20                           $20      
Import Duty           $2                           $3      
Total           $22                           $23      
Journal Entry : at Goods Receipt                    
               DR     CR
Inventory               22     
GR/IR Inv i                    -20
Accr Frt-Inb Duties               -3
Purchase Price Var          1     
Invoice Receipt                    
GR/IR Inv                -20     
AP A/c          20
Purchase Price Var     N/A     N/A
Actual Import Duty Charge                    
Accr Frt-Inb Duties          3     
A/P Frt Company                    -3
Hence , using purchase price conditions.. ML will not be reflecting the actual Costs of Import Duty . Purchase conditions are just as estimates and actuals are absorbed in Price Variances  for differences and it will be absorbed to the product directly after CKMLCP run..
As you see that inventory is debited with 22 ( not 20+2)... system is not segregating the import duty seperately..
Hope it clarifies..
