additional costs in PO with proper account

[Former Member]

Dears

we are triyng to post additional cost , set in PO header as manual condition (for custom duty, transport,insurance...) to a separate account when the good entry is registered. Actually the posting is all on material cost account. We have separate lines but on the same account.

We have customized manual condition with condition category = B,  we have set account assignment E with flag for "delivery separate costs".

In our SAP landscape the material cost is taken at good entry , so for example: additional cost transport 10 EUR, material cost 100 EUR the posting is:

debit  417010 material cost 100 / credit 319100 invoice to receive 100

debit 417010 material cost 10    / credit 319500 invoice to receive third  10

we need to have this second line on account for transport.

we are in SAP ECC 6.0 , may be we need to implement some business function?

thank a lot for suggestion

Thank you Mehmet, I have check the document and I 'll try to add some more info: we have no problem when purchase is for free stock: in this case it is correct for us that additional costs are added to material value and increase the stock value.

Problem is when the puchase is for project or sale order. In this case additional cost must remain on same cost object, but on different account. And this is what we are not able to obtain.

We have not activated "purchase account management" in our system, may be this is a problem.

thanks again

Hi Giuliana,

Some time ago I came accross the following ownderful idea on SCN:http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPLO/Posting+planned+delivery+cost+to+Non-inventory+account.

The basic idea is as follows:

Use the normal freight condition as usual – it will add its amount to the stock posting and have the credit side posted to a freight clearing acct. Create another condition type and make it be equal to the freight condition but with minus sign. The cond. category shall be empty (as normal discounts). Then it will subtract the same amount from the stock posting and post its debit side to the desired accrual acct.
