Before trying to assign freight costs, the purchase order created for the subcontracting work is received, which created value entry with the entry type Direct Cost and document type Purchase Invoice.

looks like the issue is that you post receipt before assigning the freight cost. try to assign one before the line is received.

fortunately, there is a nice function for such situation. you can create a new purchase invoice, add an item charge. click on the qty to assign no., You'll be able to get receipt lines and assign it accordingly.

Hi both,
unfortunately the two answers do not solve the issue because standard code tests that the Work Centre = ''.

FromPurchRcptLine.TESTFIELD("Work Center No.",'');

so obviously NAV/BC believes that any other value would cause an issue... but why, I am unsure.

I cannot find any documentation anywhere.

Any other ideas?

Hi,

This is a long due Gap and still not solved.

Basically when you receive material from the Subcontracting order, it does not allow you to add freight cost to it. Better way is to add this as Direct cost to a new work center, use Cost by Unit instead of time and post output, use it during Production order posting.
