Freight trade plan for purchase

Trade Management  •  Article  •  1/28/2026  • 
  • 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.
