Freight invoices posted to a sales order

[Klaus01]

Hi,

we have supplier invoices (from freight forwarders) that should be posted to a sales order. We know how to do that. But unfortunately the system forces us to select an item line of the sales order. As the freight is for the complete sales order, we'd like to post ist to the "header" of the sales order.

Posting it to line item would make the contribition margin calculation of the line item wrong.

As we have a couple of line items per sales order (up to 100) it doesn't make sense to split the invoice manually.

Is there any way to post these supplier invoices correctly to the header?

Kind Regards,

Klaus

Hello Paolo,

valid question - I would take Service - Fixed Price without Actuals. Wouldn't create anything in logistics.

Best regards,

Hi Klaus,

in this case, I would recommend to add an additional, zero amount sales order item that is [optionally] not printed (via scripting in the forms). Then, if you attribute the freight supplier invoice to this line, it does impact only the margin of the whole sales order, not of a "real" item.

Perhaps a feasible workaround, but yes, a valid point. Please raise an idea for this.

Best regards,

Thomas

Hello Thomas,

what item type would you use to create a zero sales order item? would it not affect delivery?

Kind regards,

Paolo
