How to deal with unknown costs & load on the material

Question

Hi,
I have asked similar question a many times but so far not have got any satisfying suggestion to this.Here I am putting it again.
This is a Intercompany scenario.
ICT PO is raised and subsequently Delivery/picking-pgi done.
Then Billing is done and goods are sent to the receiving location of another company code.
This transfer of goods involve some 2-3 types of delivery costs which are not known till the goods are received by the receiving location .
Many a times what happens is that goods are dispatched to the receiving location by clubbing the number of POs.It could be possible that user clubs some 20-30 POs and send the goods against them in one container.
The problem which the receiving location faces is how to book these additional delivery costs on the material at the time of GR as they(users) only know these costs when they receive invoices from the local vendors for the resepective expenses.
Even if they decide to change PO before they do GR it is not possible or becomes very difficult for the user to split the total additional delivery costs and distribute in all the 30 POs(assume he is receiving goods against all 30 POs in one container).
Is there any best way to handle this scenario ?
I am sure this is a typical requirement & it must be happening in most of the industries.
Even for a single PO, how the additional cost can be distributed based on PO value.
All these additional costs should be loaded on to material while GR.
Please suggest
Thanks in advance

hi arjman!
   1) You do MIGO for all the purchase order in one document
enter the PO no and execute
*again without saving the document enter the next PO no and execute
*continously do this for all PO's
*now post the docu - only one material document is created.
2) * Now you post the invoice in MIRO by entering the first PO and execute.
Without saving go to the arrow symbol next to the place where you enter the PO no.
There u enter all other PO no's and execute.
Now all the PO's cleared in migo will get in the same invoice document. Still dont save the document.
3) Now the you have to map the cost which have incurred during GR. These costs are called as UNPLANNED COSTS.
These upc are entered collectively in the header data in the Detail field of the MIRO document.
You can set how you can post this unplanned costs -- whether to post in Material account or in separate GL a/c. For this you do settings in IMG>MATERIAL MANAGEMENT>LOGISTIC INVOICE VERIFICATION>INCOMING INVOICE>CONFIGURE HOW UPDC IS POSTED.
Thata it.
reward if useful.
