How do most folks handle frt on  a PO?
 
Right now I am adding an additional inventory item (frt) and making a notation such as Vendor will ship this USHolland.
 
I don't  think you should have to do a PO for the desired product and a different PO for the frt?   Our rec'd PO's don't become an invoice (we use vouchers).    
 
The frt might be added to the vendors invoice......BUT what if the vendor shipped  frt collect ?
WHAT IF  WE get a frt bill from USHolland----the way I am doing it now I have to go into the origanal vendor and check to see how it was shipped, etc and then  receive USHOLLand from the original vendors PO.    
 
I am sure there is a better way.....because this would be a nightmare for the folks that use PO invoices.
 
Thanks,
Laura
 
 
 

Laura,
I just voucher the freight bills.  I don't use P.O.'s for them.  Treat it like the gas or electric bill (presuming, of course, you are not using P.O.'s for them).  Doesn't seem to be a reason to use the P.O. system on a non-inventoried item like freight.
 

Thanks Karen,  
One of the problems we have is that sometimes our vendor will add frt to their invoice... AND... we will get a bill from the truck lines.   I don;t want to pay anything twice!
 
I was thinking that as long as my girl had had to pay  from a line item off our PO we wouldn't end up double paying a frt bill.
