Freight trade plan for transfer

Trade Management  •  Article  •  1/28/2026  • 
  • The system supports freight trade plans configured for use in transfer documents to post:
    • Expected cost posting
    • Costs to be invoiced
    • Actual cost posting using general ledger accounts
  • When a transfer order is posted (shipment and receipt, or direct transfer):
    • The system automatically creates expected and interim general ledger entries based on the applicable freight trade plan.
    • Freight costs are linked to the item ledger entry representing the transfer receipt, ensuring accurate cost attribution.
  • When the related transport invoice is posted:
    • The system reverses the originally posted general ledger entries using the 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 defined on the transfer invoice line.
  • All general ledger postings are consistently linked to transfer receipts and trade plans through existing trade accrual and general ledger entry extension records.
  • The posting logic is identical whether freight costs originate from:
    • Transfer document freight trade plans, or
    • Transport orders created through transport planning.
