Question

PO Freight charges for Drop ships and prepayments

I have Purchase orders where we have prepaid the invoice with the freight.  I had to add the freight as a line item, in order to make the prepayment match what the PO.  But on the SO I do not have it as a line item as I want it to show up in the freight at the bottom, not as a separate line item.   Now that I have prepaid the PO it will not let me receive the PO, and it has a status of Awaiting Link.  How do I complete the PO so that I can invoice the customer, since the SO will not let me invoice because the items have not been received.  I think this should be a high priority for Accumatica to fix as one of their upgrades as it does not operate properly.  The freight costs should always have it’s own field for cost and sell so that it is easily tracked through accounting.  I do not know why a freight cost field was not added to the shipping tab on the Purchase order in the first place.  If someone knows of a way for me to be able to get these items processed in our system.

 

Thank you,

Kevin Buelow

I would recommend using the Landed Cost feature to allocate freight on your Purchase order, especially since the Freight line is not on the original sales order.

Hello Vanessa,

 

Thank you for the reply.  I am still new to Accumatica, and our implementation team did not help us very well in setting all of this up.  Do you have more specifics about this, or is there a step-by-step guide for this somewhere?  Also do you now the best way to get my existing PO stuck in limbo from the prepayment to being able to receive it.  It is in the status of awaiting link for the freight line.  But I do not have a freight line on the SO to link it to.  

 

Thank you,
