How to add a fixed freight amount to every PO, or require freight maintenance charge to be entered on every order

Posted on by 112

Hi, 

Is there a way to automatically put freight on every PR request? Either a fixed amount or percentage of the order? It is very difficult getting a freight quote from all of vendors (over 2K amount of vendors), but we need a way to have this on the PR before it sent out as PO, since the invoice will fail if the PO doesn't have freight (can take a percentage or fixed amount from a line that is not on the PO). 

We used to have our procurement team approve each invoice, but apparently it's a SOD violation since they can create POs and approve the invoice overage. 

Thanks

    Hi Dr. Ludwig

    I followed the steps, (omit item charge group since it doesn't link to an inventory item), it doesn't show up on my PR. Is there something else I need to add in order for the charges auto populate? or does this only work with item or inventory numbers?

    Thanks Dr. Ludwig! One more quick question - if this will not tie to any item number (these are PRs for noninventory items), do I need to set up link per item charge?

    Hello Clare45,

    You can refer to the below link for the automatic allocation of charges.

    Hello Clare45,

    You can make use of automatic charges to get a charge amount included.

    To realize that pleas set up:

    - a charge code

    - an item charge group

    - automatic charges linked to the charge group

    and finally link the item charge group to your item.

    The next time you create a purchase requisition for that item, the charges shall be included.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
