G/L account posting requirement during GR

Former Member

Dear Experts,

This is the situation. There's a requirement from user about G/L account posting @ the goods receipt event. In normal circumstance, if there are 2 items in the PO with condition type FRB1 (freight) in SAP the G/L account posting during GR will be:

Debit: Inventory (item #1)

Credit: GR/IR

Credit: Freight Clearing Acc

Debit: Inventory (item #2)

Credit: GR/IR

Credit: Freight Clearing Acc

Is it possible to combine the value of the freight clearing account of both PO item into one line instead of two like in the normal circumstance?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Give the freight condition in the PO header condition and take the GR.

Hi Kari,

I've tried it but it still doesn't combine the freight cost. Here's the situation, in the PO there are 2 items with freight cost of $ 20 for each item. Following your advice, I put the freight on the header lvl instead of on the item lvl. I simply entered $ 40 on the header level but after I carried out the GR the result was like this:

Debit: Inventory (item #1) 1000

Credit: GR/IR 1000

Credit: Freight Clearing Acc 40

Debit: Inventory (item #2) 1000

Credit: GR/IR 1000

Credit: Freight Clearing Acc

The freight clearing acc. value for this posting shouldn't be $ 40 each but $ 40 for both item and there are still two line items of freight cost for this PO.

May I have another advice?
