No Freight from Purchase Order to AP Down Payment Request

[paulo_diside]

When I create a Down payment request and copy the information from a Purchase Order the value of the freight does'nt appear on the down payment.

WIth this I can't do the payment of the freight to my supplier.

As I need to link the PO and the Down payment I'm stucked with this issue.

Any ideia ? I'm I myssing some step ?

Thanks in advance,

Paulo

Anyone found a solution to this issue yet?

This should be considered as a very basic system behavior.

Hi,

You are not missing any step. This is standard system behaviour. You may create item for charges( it should be purchase item) and add this item in PO for additional charges.

When you copy from PO, these values are copied to Down payment request.

Thanks.

Thanks Nagarajan,

I do have an item for that,

but I need to use the freight, because I need to distribute the freight costs to the items in the PO/Invoice.

I'm using a workaround that is: create a new line in the down payment, with that item, with the freight value.

But this is not correct, and it's confusing for the users.

You can use landed cost to allocate your freight charges to item costs.

Thanks Frank,

Since we buy part of the goods overseas, I use landed costs to allocate the costs paid here for importing those items.

The idea is to keep things separated, if its a freight in the supplier invoice and paid in advance should be registered as it happens.
