Adding Freight and Handling Charges to Work Orders

If the vendor charges you freight and handling to return the finished product to your warehouse, you need to enter that information on the Work Order Entry Totals screen. Use this screen to view the breakdown of the total amount you owe the vendor for services rendered, and to determine the method used to capitalize those costs.

Note: After the work order has been reconciled in A/P, you can change only the freight carrier and bill of lading number.

To add freight and handling charges to an order:

Open a work order that has been processed.
Use the Totals hot key to display the Work Order Entry Totals screen.
Review the following fields, as needed:

Field	Description
Process	The work performed, such as Assembly or Painting.
Comp Date	The date by which the process was expected to be complete.
Proc Cost	The costs incurred during the process per specified unit of measure. See the UM field on the Work Order Entry screen for the unit used to determine this amount.
Setup Cost	Any costs incurred in preparation for processing one unit of the product. See the UM field on the Work Order Entry screen for the unit used to determine this amount.

In the Freight field, enter the freight charges from the vendor's invoice.
In the Capitalize Freight field, enter the general ledger line item level at which to apply the freight. Dollars is the default value.
In the Handling field, enter the handling charges from the vendor's invoice.
Review the Total field to determine the total amount your company owes the vendor.
Complete the following fields, as needed:

Field	Description
Freight Carrier	The company that transported the products back to your warehouse.
Bill of Lading	The number that identifies the vendor's shipping document. If you complete the Freight Carrier field, you must also complete this field.

The system populates the Pieces field from the quantity of the finished product you entered on the Work Order Entry Material Detail screen, and populates the Weight and Load Factor fields based on the product's maintenance record.
