3rd Party Freight on Purchase Order

Anyone have ideas for processing 3rd party freight on inventory purchases in 4.0?

Our ideal process would:

1) Allow purchaser/buyer to approve the 3rd party freight expense in advance (up to $) in a way that AP users could easily verify within DAX.

2) Allow reporting on actual freight expense by item/PO for standard cost calculation/validation.

3) Allow reporting on estimated, but not yet invoiced 3^rd party freight for manual accrual.

Our current process is to manually obtain approval of the freight expense from the purchaser (via email). Pay the 3rd party freight vendor via AP invoice journal, code to PPV and then go back to the PO and allocate the freight line by line so we can query the actual costs by item/PO for use in standard cost calculations/validation. We track uninvoiced 3rd party freight manually, via Excel log.
