Symptom
- During goods receipt with respect to a scheduling agreement, freight charges are not shown in the material document.
- No error message is displayed.
- Freight charges are not posted at all.
Environment
- Product: SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
- Goods Receipt from External Procurement (MIGO)
Reproducing the Issue
- Perform a goods receipt with reference to a scheduling agreement that has freight/planned delivery cost conditions maintained.
- Post the goods receipt and open the resulting material document; observe that freight is not picked up.
- Check the corresponding accounting document; observe there is no freight/planned delivery cost posting.
Cause
- The freight is not posted because the purchasing calculation schema (pricing procedure) determined for the scheduling agreement does not have the freight / delivery-cost condition steps configured to generate a delivery-cost provision at goods receipt.
- Planned delivery costs are provisioned at goods receipt only when the freight condition steps in the determined calculation schema are set up to post (with the appropriate account key and accruals key for delivery-cost provisioning). If the determined schema calculates the freight condition without generating a delivery-cost provision, the freight is displayed on the document but is not posted at goods receipt, and consequently there is no provision for the follow-on invoice to settle, which is why invoicing reports that no delivery costs exist.
- This is configuration-driven behaviour of the calculation schema. It is not caused by the document type in itself: a scheduling agreement can post planned delivery costs at goods receipt when a suitably configured calculation schema is determined for it.
Resolution
- In Set Calculation Schema - Purchasing, copy the relevant standard purchasing calculation schema to a custom (Z) schema.
- In the custom schema, configure the freight / delivery-cost condition steps so they post a delivery-cost provision at goods receipt by setting the appropriate account key and accruals key for delivery costs (refer to the guidance below).
- Assign the custom schema in schema determination (Schema Group of Vendor × Schema Group of Purchasing Organisation) so that Scheduling Agreements for the intended suppliers use the custom schema. Scope the determination narrowly to avoid impacting unrelated suppliers or scenarios.
- Post a new Goods Receipt with reference to a Scheduling Agreement and confirm the freight now posts at GR and appears in the accounting document; then post the related supplier invoice and confirm settlement of the provision.
- After each half-yearly release, review differences between the standard schema and the custom copy and bring across any legally required updates (for example, tax-related steps).
