When you capture the Supplier Invoice for that delivery and match it to the GRN, you will use the actual unit cost of the items, so that the supplier account is credited correctly. The system will then take the difference between the GRN value and the Supplier Invoice value to a Purchase Variance account which, by default, is part of your Cost of Sales financial category.
You might want to re-categorise the Purchase Variance account away from the COS category.
