LIV - Posting Unplanned Freight

Hello LIV experts,
Here is our business scenario:
1. We are using GR-based-IV.
2. Freight vendor is different from the Inventory vendor.
3. No planned delivery costs are entered on the PO.
4. Freight is posted exclusively as unplanned delivery cost during MIRO.
5. The unplanned delivery cost is to be distributed to the PO items.
SAP provides a way to accomplish the above by setting the subsequent debit/credit flag on the PO items during MIRO.
However for this, it seems that SAP requires the inventory invoice to be posted before the Freight invoice is posted.
This restriction is not acceptable to us since we usually receieve freight invoice before we receive the inventory invoice.
We would like to distribute the unplanned freight to PO items that have been GR'd (and not necessarily invoiced).
Is there a way to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.
Sachin.

Hi Sachin
Hope you have a separate master data for the freight vendor.
If so, in the PO line item condition, add one more manual Freight condition ( with value) ... enter the Freight value there & expand the item condition detail ..- there you can see a tab called vendor - here you assign  the Freight vendor and save the PO.
Now do  the Invoice posting for Planned delivery costs  alone..
you will be able to post the Freight w/o the GR posted.
Hope it helps

  • Post unplanned delivery cost to different freight G/L Accounts

    Hi,
    Regarding the freight costs the business process is at  the time Purchase Order creation, the company does not know what is the freight costs that is going to be charged by the vendor. The freight charges will be known when the vendor sends the Invoice. The purchase order contains the materials to be drop shipped by vendor directly to customer or cross dock delivery to company premises.
    The business requirement is when the MIRO invoice is posted, user will enter the freight charges at the document header level and that value needs to be split among the PO Line items and needs to be posted to separate Freight Cost G/L Accounts based on the account assignment category. For drop ship items the freight cost to be posted to one G/L Account and for cross dock items it needs to be posted to a different G/L Account. Later on this freight cost to be applied to customer invoice for charging the customer with the vendor freight cost.
    The solution option we have considered is to define two statistical freight condition types at PO Level (one to be triggered for Drop ship materials and the other to be for Cross dock items), in the pricing procedure assign two different Account keys to these condition types. At MIRO users enters the freight cost as unplanned delivery cost, write the code in a user exit to split this value among the freight line items of the MIRO invoice. As separate Account keys are assigned to the condition types the values can be posted to separate G/Ls. To bring these values to customer invoice we will develop a custom routine in SD pricing procedure.
    Request the experts to let me know if there is any simple way to map this requirement.
    Thanks & Regards,
    GLN.

    Hi,
    As at the time of the PO you do not know the freight costs and you want to post the freight costs in the MIRO as unplanned delivery costs . and there is no way you have to post as unplanned .
    Here your requirements are 1. Post to separate GL accounts and 2. distribution among line items .
    However both of your requirements are given with sap standard functionality with the below sap  link .
    Logistics Invoice Verification (MM-IV-LIV) - SAP Library
    check spro--mm--liv--incoming invoice ---configure how unplanned delivery costs are treated .
    at the same time when you maintain the condition type for frieght iN PO , they will become the planned delivery costs . if this come in to picture FR/IR account will come into the pictute at GR and IR .
    i think your requirement will be partially met . and the coding part may become fuzzy rather to go with the standard.

  • MIRO - Unplanned Freight and Labor Tax allocation - Balancing Error

    As of today: When creating LIV invoices, we are not allocating the tax to Unplanned Freight(T3) and Labor(T4). But we have a new request for apportioning and allocating the taxes to unplanned freight and labor.
    we changed the code to pass everything so the tax calculation is done as per the apportioning logic and I am passing all the information to the BAPI  u2018BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_CREATEu2019, but it always throws me a balancing error.
    For eg: If we have an invoice with 1 line item
    Total amount u2013 17000
    Line item amount u2013 10000
    Total Tax u2013 1000
    Unplanned Freight u2013 2000
    Unplanned labor u2013 3000
    In todayu2019s scenario, as we donu2019t allocate any taxes for unplanned freight and labor, the total tax is allocated to 1st line item and it calls up sabrix and distributes total tax $1000 for T1 only.
    But when we are trying to allocate the taxes for T3 & T4, $1000 is apportioned to T1, T3 and T4.
    For eg if taxes posted to
    T1 --- 500
    T3 --- 200
    T4 --- 300
    then I am always get a balancing out error of the amount that we posted to T3 and T4, in this case = 500 (200 + 300).
    Any suggestions!

    Roopa.

    Hi Tarek
    I have checked the following in my system :
    1) Document Type RE which is being used for MIRO and the classficiation
    the same in of this document type is : Business Transaction 0300 (Vendor Invoice) and Variant
    is 0001 (Standard)
    2) Document Split Method used in our system is 0000000012 and not a Z.......
    3) Document Splitting Rules for the above combination of Vendor Invoice (0300) and Transaction Variant 0001
    Profit Center is not being filled in the line item 001, which is the vendor one.
    I have checked the base item category of 03000 (Vendor) and I found the following in it :
    01000     Balance Sheet Account
    01100     Company Code Clearing
    01300     Cash Discount Clearing
    05100     Taxes on Sales/Purchases
    05200     Withholding Tax
    06000     Material
    07000     Fixed Assets
    20000     Expense
    30000     Revenue
    But you may note that none of the above items are being checked for Automatically Split box.
    Can you please advise further on this issue. Also can you provide your contact number so that I can call you since the issue is very critical in the production system.

  • Payment Term (include Material exclude Unplanned Freight)?

    Hi all,
    The business has requested a Payment Term 0123 that can be used in MIRO to include a discount % on the material price but exclude the discount from the unplanned freight entered on the invoice.  They want a 10% discount on the material with no discount to be applied to the unplanned freight.  Can this be done or can it be separated out on the same invoice?
    My feeling looking at configuration for Payment Terms is that the term is applied across the entire invoice price and cannot be separated out to exclude unplanned delivery charges...but I wanted to present to the group here to see others opinions.  Thanks.

    It is best practice to have cash discount only be cash discount and not other discounts. A 10% discount makes no business sense. Anyway, the system will post cash discount based on the AP invoice field 'cash discount base' this field can be different than the total invoice amount (say, cash discount base could be 100 dollars when the total invoice amount is 110 with freight). There should be a standard condition record in the MM pricing schema that feeds into the AP 'cash discount base' amount. So, yes it can be done.

  • Unplanned Freight and Price Variance

    Hello Friends,
    When I enter in incoming invoice in MIRO and I have unplanned freight and price variance.  When I enter in variance by it self it works fine and the variance goes to the right GL.  For example when I have Freight of $100 and price variance of $200 and I post it together here is what it shows when I simulate:
    FLTR 3M DUST &POLE                                      $8.75
    FLTR 3M DUST &POLE                                      $59.48
    COS-P.O VARIANCE ADJ                                   $31.49
    RENT-EQUIPMENT & AUDIT                               $200.28
    Is there anyway I can fix this where the variance would be $200 and the rest post accordingly.  Please help will reward points for helpful answers.
    Regards,
    Monika

    Hello Monika,
    What type of price of control do you have on your materials?  If the price control is set for moving average price (V), then I would expect any variance between PO price and invoice price to be reflected back to the moving average price of the material (e.g. your PO line item). 
    Unplanned freight can definitely configured to post to its own account. 
    Hope this helps.

  • Incorrect Planned Depreciation after posting unplanned depreciation

    Hello Everyone,
    We have encountered a case whereas an asset acquired in April 2008 with 5 years useful life was planned to be fully depreciated in period 2 of 2009. Below are the details and postings done:
    1 - NBV -> 1,056,143.00
    2 - Posted Write-up -> 18,054.00
    3 - Posted Unplanned depreciation -> 1,038,992.23- (the system actually issued that only the amount of 835,445 can be posted as unplanned dep. In order to bypass this, user changed the dep key to MANU then changing it back after the unplanned posting)
    4 - Posted Ordinary Dep for Period 1 of 2009 -> 19,892
    5 - Planned Ordinary Dep for Period 2 of 2009 -> 15,312.77-
    Once the amount of 15,312.77 is posted, the asset will have Zero NBV.
    *My question is: Why did the system posted the 15,312.77 in period 2 only and not spread the amount until 2013 since the asset's useful life is for 5 years (until 2013).
    We have tried recalculation of values and the planned depreciation remains the same for period 2.
    Hope someone can help.
    Thank you in advance.
    Regards,
    Cholo

    Hello Vinod,
    Period control is 004 which is configured in AFAMP having 01 - Pro rata at period start date for Acquisition, Acquisition in the following year, Retirement and trasfer. Does it have anything to do with the start of depreciation?
    Also, when we adjust the ord dep start date to < April 26, the original planned depreciation is not affected for the current FY but only the next FY and moving forward.
    For example:
    Asset worth 12,000 to be depreciated in 10 years
    1 - Alrready in period 3 and 200 has been posted
    2 - Posted unplanned dep of 800
    3 - Total planned dep for this year did not change (1,200)
    4 - System calculated for current year depreciation 1200 (planned) + 800 (unplanned) = 2000
    5 - And for the next years 12,000 - 2,000 = 10,000 / 9 years
    Should it not be that that 12,000 - 1,000 (200 planned + 800 unplanned) = 11,000 / 9 years and 9 months?
    It seems that the unplanned depreciation affected the depreciation computation of the asset only in the next FY.

  • Posting Unplanned Depreciation when asset net book value is zero

    We recently transferred some assets from one company code to another.  However, when they transferred, the depreciation all reversed out YTD.
    We are now trying to post the YTD depreciation back in under the original company code, but when we try posting unplanned depreciation, the following error message appears -
    "In area 01, you can only post manual dep. up to the amount 0.00"
    I believe this is because the asset does not have any net book value now.
    Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
    Many thanks,

    Hi Susan,
    do you have the option to reverse the transfer postings? If so, you could specify another period control for transfer postings (such as fiscal year start, etc.) in your depreciation key, with which you can influence how much depreciation is left back respectively transferred.
    It is correct that you can´t post an unplanned depreciation on the sending asset now, because the net book value would go below zero. As unplanned depreciation does not influence the ordinary depreciation in the year of posting, this value below zero can not be adjusted with a reduction of planned ordinary depreciation.
    I am wondering which effect you´d like to have on the sending asset. Did you post a complete retirement? If so, there should be no APC left which you can depreciate on the sending asset. And as the net book value is zero already, which effect do you want to get? You have to keep in mind that the non-depreciated APC will be continued to depreciate (normally) on the receiving asset. But maybe I misunderstood the problem here ...

    Markus

  • Separate GL for posting Unplanned depreciation

    Dear Friends,
    In ao90 I want to map two GL account for posting unplanned Depreciation in Expense account for unplanned depreciation one for trans.type 640 and one for 650 separately.
    Could it be possible ? and How ?

    Not possible. You link asset classes to account determination and assign GL accounts to Account Determination. The transaction type does not play a role in determining GL accounts.

  • LIV posting

    Hi,
    Would like to know during LIV posting, the default exchange rate taken is based on that maintained in PO or the exchange rate of current month of posting?
    Appreciate if any expert can advise, thanks.

    Hi pl refer to SAP OSS note 396051 which states that As long as no invoice items exist in the invoice entry, the exchange rate in the invoice document header is determined in following sequence:
    If you fixed an exchange rate in the purchase order, this exchange rate is used for the determination of the local currency amounts.
    If you entered an exchange rate in the invoice document header, this exchange rate is used for the determination of the local currency amounts.
    If you neither fixed an exchange rate in the purchase order nor entered an exchange rate in the invoice document header, the system determines the exchange rate defined in Customizing of financial accounting valid for the posting date.
    If a parked invoice document contains invoice items, the exchange rate can no longer be changed. If reference is made to a purchase order with fixed exchange rate during further processing of a parked invoice document, the fixed exchange rate is copied to the invoice document header.
    Hope this is helpful...

    From 46C to ECC 60, SAP made some changes to posting program RPCIPE00. Existing RPCIPE00 was copied over to RPCIPE00_OLD, and modification was made to RPCIPE00 after that. With the new RPCIPE00, there're some additional configuration needed for tax wt for posting.
    First, try to run posting with the old program RPCIPE00_OLD in production mode (should be compatible) and see if the dump is resolved. If it is, you can just run posting with the old program for now until you're ready with the additional configuration for the new payroll posting.

    hi,
    You are trying to post more value than the available balance that can be depreciated. Hence the system is giving error.
    You can post upto a maximum of 196,410.75 with which the value of teh asset becomes zero.
    Reward if useful.

    Hi,
    With u201CUnplanned Depreciationu201D posting, as immediately it will not be posted to FI and no FI document will be generated. It will be posted in next normal depreciationrun i.e., Whenever you run the t-code AFAB-Depreciation Run as part of month-end activities, system will post the u201CUnplanned depreciationu201D along with normal depreciation. So there will be no FI  document will be generated with u201CUnplanned Depreciation posting. You need to reverse only Asset document . For this purpose do the following steps :
    Option :1: a) Go to t-code-AW01N-Asset Explorer, specify the Asset No., click  the posted u201CUnplanned depreciationu201D value
                         and get the Asset Document No. which is available under the head u201CTransactionsu201D.
                       b)  Use t-code-AB08 and reverse the Asset document     OR
    Option :2:  a) Go to t-code AS02-Change Asset Masteru2014Depreciation Areas, keep the Depreciation key with u201C0000u201D value
                       b) Run t-code-AFAB-Depreciation Run with u201CRepeatu201D option by giving/selecting  the  only the specific Main 
                         Asset No. and Asset Sub-number at  the bottom of the screen.
