How to: Enter Item Charges on the Original Purchase Document

Item charges, such as freight, handling charges or insurance, can be entered on a separate purchase invoice or on the original purchase document where the items that the item charges relate to are listed. For more information, see How to: Enter Item Charges on Separate Purchase Invoices.

The following procedure describes how to enter an item charge on an existing purchase document that has not been posted as fully invoiced. If you receive the purchased items and the invoice for the item charge at the same time, or if the original purchase document has not been posted in full yet, then follow this procedure.

The same procedure applies to purchase credit memos and invoices.
