- The system supports freight trade plans configured for use in purchase documents to post:
- Expected costs
- Costs to be invoiced
- Actual costs using general ledger accounts
- When a purchase document is posted:
- The system automatically creates expected general ledger entries based on the applicable trade plan.
- These general ledger entries are linked to the related item ledger entry for full traceability.
- When the related purchase invoice is posted:
- The system reverses the originally posted general ledger entries using the same original general ledger accounts, regardless of any later trade plan changes.
- A new actual cost general ledger entry is posted using the general ledger account specified in the purchase invoice line.
- The behavior is identical whether freight costs originate from:
- Document-level freight trade plans, or
- Transport orders using freight trade plans.
