Understanding Freight Audit History

After you complete freight update and match the invoices, you can adjust the information in the Freight Audit History table (F4981). This table contains a record of each billable and payable charge that is assessed to a shipment or load and tax information. Records are added to this table when you update freight charges. You can audit carrier invoices from the Freight Audit History table. You can review and adjust the freight audit history for both outbound and inbound shipments. You also can override the carrier's tax information.

(Release 9.2 Update) The Freight Audit History application (P4981) enters the order number, order type, and key company fields for both billable and payable freight lines in the Freight Audit History table (F4981). Using the order number, you can search all the payable records associated with a carrier invoice.

(Release 9.2 Update) Use the G/L Date processing option (Defaults tab) of the Work with Freight Audit History (P4981) application, to specify the default G/L date for the Accounts Payable period. When making Freight adjustments to shipments, you can specify whether the system uses the Freight Audit History G/L date, current system date, or blank so that you can manually enter the G/L date if desired.
