Title: Specify GL of Freight Charges on AP-C Invoice
Post by chrisbowden on 05/07/07 at 15:23:47

I have some AP-C PO Invoices that I want to bill the freight charges to a different GL account than the default freight account setup in Accounting Defaults. Though I know I can do them as a separate invoice in AP-B AP Voucher, it would be more convenient to do it as part of the AP-C invoice. Does anyone else have a need to do this from time to time? If so, please reply so that we can sweet-talk Lynn and Allen into putting in a Y/N option on the AP-C freight section to specify a different GL when entering freight on an AP-C invoice.

Thanks!
Chris

You already can, sort of. SD-Q has a setting to have tax and freight post to the same GL account as the item being purchased, limited to specified item types.

Create a part number for this type of freight and assign a class that will charge the respective GL account. On the Purchase Order, add a line using this Freight part number, then receive the line for freight in AP-C. Even if you do not know the exact dollar amount of freight at the time the PO is created, it can always be changed when entering the invoice in AP-C. :-*

That's a great idea for a workaround. (Sometimes I can't see the forest for the trees!)

Thanks for the suggestions!

From Help: Enable APC Frt & Tax Distribution (Y/N) (Evo-ERP only)
If this is Y then AP-C will redistribute tax and freight among the GL Accounts of the items purchased rather than the default Tax and Freight accounts

Does this work if if there are multiple lines on the Purchase Order, each with a different GL account? How would it know how to distribute the frt and tax among 4 or 5 different GL accounts on the same PO?

Thanks

It has been a long time since we added that feature but I believe it distributes proportionally based on line item price. Only available in Evo.

So, is it better not to add freight at the time the PO is entered and just wait and add the freight it in AP-C?

I dont think it would distribute if you added in PO-A.

"From Help: Enable APC Frt & Tax Distribution (Y/N) (Evo-ERP only) If this is Y then AP-C will redistribute tax and freight among the GL Accounts of the items purchased rather than the default Tax and Freight "accounts

Freight gets distributed per the GL account of the item but tax is still going to 79900- which is sales tax on purchases. DBA>AD-A>MFG GL account> PO Sales tax Expense

How do we get sales tax to distribute?
