Entering Freight Information
You can assign freight charges to an invoice or to each invoice line. When you assign freight to an invoice, Receivables includes the freight amount in the total amount of the invoice. To assign freight to each invoice line, choose Freight from the Lines window after entering your invoice lines.
You cannot enter or update freight information if the invoice's transaction type has Allow Freight set to No or if the line type is either Tax or Charges.
Receivables does not calculate tax on freight charges.
Prerequisites
To assign freight charges to a transaction:
1. Navigate to the Transaction or the Transactions Summary window.
2. Query the transaction to view.
3. If you are in the Transactions Summary window, select the transaction, then choose Open.
4. To enter freight information for this invoice, choose Freight.
To enter freight charges for a specific invoice line, choose Line Items, select the invoice line to which you want to assign freight charges, then choose Freight.
5. Enter the freight Carrier. Receivables uses the following hierarchy for the default value:
- Carrier assigned to the ship-to address of the site
- Carrier assigned to the bill-to address of the site
- Carrier assigned to the ship-to address of the customer
- Carrier assigned to the bill-to address of the customer
6. Enter the Amount of freight charges to be collected for this invoice or invoice line. If you are assigning freight to an invoice line and this is a standard freight line, the default Amount is the Unit List Price of the standard memo line adjusted for any currency differences.
To assign freight charges to all of your invoice lines, open the Freight for All Lines alternative region, then enter the Amount of freight charges for each line. Receivables calculates the Total amount of freight charges for your invoice lines.
7. Enter the freight GL Account. AutoAccounting creates the default freight account. If it cannot create the entire account, Receivables displays a pop-up window so you can complete the account information. See: Using AutoAccounting.
