Freight from PO or goods receipt into sales order in Third party drop ship

Question

Hello!!!
We have a requirement where the freight charged by vendor in third party drop ship sales order scenario should show up in the billing document to customer. So we will create a sales order with TAS item category.  This will create PReq and PO subsequently.  Once the vendor delivers the goods to customer and we do the goods receipt in the system, we will bill the customer.  While we bill we want to bring the actual freight charged by vendor to the customer billing document.  Also we bill the customer as soon as we do the receipt and do not wait for the vendor invoice.
I am not sure if we can do this standard SAP but would like to if anyone has come across this scenario and what is the approach if we need to do this. We can have vendor send us the freight while doing the goods receipt but not sure how to transfer the value to sales order or to billing document directly.
Any help or idea is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

During GRN we cannot enter any value apart from the excise or customs duty, therefore the freight that you have incured at actuals cannot be captured during GRN and therefore cannot be transfered to the invoice also.
While creating invoice to the customer you can insert a freight condition type and enter the freight value manualy.
Generally in third party scenario we can only invoice the cust after purchase booking has taken place. In your case you want the cust invoice to be created based on grn, for that you have modify the copy control settings.
