Hi Tran,
Thanks for your quick reply. This freight happened just in some special condition, and it is provided by third party,not the material vendor itself. Of course I can use direct posting when do LIV, but it may not be very convenient at practical level. Moreover, the expected freight cost can't be updated in time when GR posted

I have another idea that to use the STO between stock locations within plant. Normally, the material is transported by the material vendor so we just receive them to the real stock locations. If some deliveries of POs require third party logistic vendor to transport, when we got the advanced note from material vendor, we post GR into a dummy stock location, then create a STO between stock locations to add third party freight cost in its item condition. When we post this STO, the material will be transferred from dummy stock to real stock and the expected freight cost will be posted into material cost.

What about your advice?

Dear experts,

We have a requirement that we order PO using move average price, Usually the material is transported by our material vendor in partial delivery and the freight cost is included in the price, but sometimes for the urgent purposes, we may inform a third party to handle the partial delivery.That means we don't know how many of the total quantities will be transported by the third party when PO is created. If I expect a cost using a freight condition in PO to treat this as a planned delivery cost, there must be some quantities of the GR/IR Freight not be cleared.

Does anybody experience a similar scenario,please give me an optimum solution .Thanks!
