Pricing Procedure for purchase order
Hi,
I want to make a pricing procedure for a particular purchase order type which has only two cost related entries - one for basic material cost and one for freight. Can someone tell me how to make a pricing procedure for this?
The above requirement is for procurement of material. Apart from this, there are purchase orders that are to be raised for freight only. How does one do that? Does one raise a material master record for freight services and then raise a purchase order for this "material" or is there some other way to do it? Also, can the same purchase order type be used for procuring material (basic cost + freight) as well as for freight services only?

Since the calculation schema for PO is subject to either Vendor Schema Group or Purchasing Organization Schema Group, if your required pricing procedure is only applicable to one particular vendor, then I would recommend you to use the Vendor Schema Group. This Schema Group once being created will be assigned to the Vendor in the Vendor Master Data.

No, what you have to do is to maintain either Framework Order or Blanket Order (subject to if you would like to confirm your acceptance of such freight service or not) and then make the LIV payment with reference to this 'Open' Purchasing Document. However, in this particular case, it is true that these freights will not be computed as part of the delivered costs of the materials. Alternatively, you can maintain freight as a separate PO line item in the spot PO (together with the material items). Again, this setting is also not enabling you to include your freights into your delivered costs of the materials.
