-In the SAP system you can post planned as well as unplanned delivery costs. -Planned delivery costs are the ones which are negotiated in advance with vendor provision and proper provision is made in PO to book this cost. -For example, you create an order based on agreed prices with the vendor before you issue a PO. You also negotiate with the vendor or the transporter and agree on goods delivery cost. ---You enter this cost in special condition type, for example, freight condition. Hence, when you post a goods receipt, it goes to a special clearing account such as Freight Clearing account and these entries are cleared when you post an invoice. -Unplanned delivery costs are the ones which are not known at the time of ordering. You post this cost at the time of invoice receipt. For example, you place an order based on the agreed terms and conditions with the vendor. In these agreed terms and conditions, terms of delivery is delivery cost to be paid at actuals. -For this unknown delivery, the cost is posted at the time of invoice receipt. -If necessary, the system revaluates the inventory after invoice receipt.

-In this figure, you can see which account gets updated with unplanned delivery costs at the time of goods receipt and invoice posting. -You create a PO for material which is valuated at moving average price. As per the agreed terms and conditions with the vendor, you enter material price as 130 EUR and customs and freight charges are extra at actuals. When you post a goods receipt against such a PO, the system will post 130 EUR to stock account and 130 EUR in GR/IR clearing account. -When you receive an invoice, you have to pay 16 EUR as freight charges. You post the invoice with material cost of 130 EUR and unplanned cost of 16 EUR. -The SAP system clears GR/IR clearing account with 130 EUR and posts unplanned delivery cost of 16 EUR to stock account. -At the time of invoice posting, if stock quantity is less than the invoice quantity, then part of the difference is posted to a price difference account instead of getting posted to the stock account. The vendor account gets updated at the invoice price. Compiled SAP- Portfolio ( Basics)
