Hi, gurus!
We are struggling with the following scenario: under certain circumstances, the transport costs are not defined until the material is received (MIGO transaction), because there is no way to know which the transport costs will be when creating the PO.
After some research, it seems quite clear that the only options are: planned transport costs (defined in the PO with certain condition types) vs unplanned transport costs (to be performed in the invoice-MIRO transaction).
The drawback about the second option is that we would need the transport costs to be allocated to the value of the material, and NOT to another account (such as transport expenses).
Doubts:
1) Is there any way of assigning the transport value to the material valuation instead of to unplanned costs?
2) Could anyone give us a clue about how to indicate in the material reception (MIGO) which the transport costs will be? The main issue is that the user that performs the reception (MIGO transaction) is not the same user that performs the invoice. Our approach here is to create a custom field in the material document in order to indicate the amount to assign as a transport cost. Any other possibility?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
J
