Pankaj, Nagaraj
a) It is possible to maintain import duties as planned delivery costs in the PO and that too in local currency (presumably INR in your case) when the vendor currency is USD. This is done by maintaining appropriate condition types (in customization).
b) In the condition types, it is also possible to have a separate vendor for each condition type (for example one for Customs Duty, another for C&F Services etc.).
c) In case of imports, the duties mentioned in the PO will almost never match exactly due to a number of reasons, like exchange rate fluctuations. These can be corrected at the time of LIV. The PO history will show planned delivery costs as per PO under the T/E key of GR and actual costs under Vendor Invoice Receipt. This has been done by us at a number of places and works well.
d) Having materials under different POs under a single AWB is no problem as both GR and LIV support multiple POs as part of standard system behaviour. I did not see what the problem was here.
e) It is possible to treat these as unplanned delivery costs also. If you do that, please keep the following in mind:
i) At the time of LIV, these costs are divided based on cumulative invoiced values, automatically by the system. If they are subject to different rates of customs duties, the distribution will be skewed i.e. loading of duties on different materials will be different from what it should be.
ii) If unplanned delivery costs are assigned to a separate GL account (possible to configure), these costs will not be added to material valuation.
Trust this helps.

Hi,
The simplest solution is to treat these import duties as unplanned costs which will be settled during LIV process.
Cheers,
