Last updated on JULY 10, 2020

Applies to:

Goal

In Payables setup,  an account for the Freight is defined, when Inventory account for the ITEM line is being used.
Then do match to receipt for an invoice, and make sure that in the distributions the ITEM line as INVENTORY account.
After that, add manually a FREIGHT line and click the ALLOCATIONS button, and indeed the applications create the FREIGHT distribution line using the account setup in Payables options, as it should.

However, if during the match to receipt you tick the MISC / FREIGHT tick box, a small windows is popping up, and allow you to add manually FREIGHT amount, however when using this method the applications is creating FRIGHT distribution line using the INVENTORY charge account coming from the PO, instead of using the FREIGHT account defined in Payables > Setup > Options.
