Frieght amount paid to lorry vendor

Question

Hi Guru's
My requirement is like this:
PO - 20 tons
GR 1 - 10 tons + freight cost (lorry freight) Rs 1000
GR 2 - 10 tons + Freight cost (lorry freight) Rs 1500
We need to pay freight cost to lorry driver not to vendor. the final bill from vendor comes after 10 - 15 days. Since the freight cost is not fixed value I can't plan in my PO. So how to enter this freight costs before doing invoce verification for actual goods bill.

Answer 1

Hi,
You have freight value as pricing element in your purchase order but you are paying to freight cost to lorry driver during goods receipt or just after goods receipt of purchase order.
You have not mentioned that the freight value in purchase order is going to be invetorised or will be posted to separate G/L account as freight cost. Refer detailed settings freight condition type
Delivery cost is not getting inventorize
You can create freight vendor for lorry driver (XK01). Create Purchase order with assumed value  in freight condition type and assign the freight vendor to freight condition type in your Purchase order(ME21N). After goods receipt for your purchase order, you can post MIRO for lorry driver (freight vendor) for that purchase order by selecting “Planned delivery cost” in t.code:MIRO for the actual amount and based on tolerance limit set for tolerance key, the invoice document will be blocked which can released(MRBR)later for payment by finance department.
