Costing Freight to a Job

Yahoo Archive

We add a freight line onto every job since we know it will require freight
later on. We have modified our reports and such not to show this line item
since really it is just for accounting.

Subject: [Vantage] Costing Freight to a Job



We bury our freight charge into the per unit price of our product.
The problem here is that we need to cost the freight to the job
retroactively.

When I do "Add Job Miscellaneous Line" from the AP Invoice area I
have to add a bogus material called freight. The problem here is
that I can't add this material if the job is complete.

Well, EVERY job will be complete if I am entering an invoice for it,
considering we get the invoice for freight AFTER it ships.

Is there anyway to do this without having to un-complete jobs all
the time?

Anyone else have a similar situation? I have been sitting on this
issue for a month now, and Epicor has had no solutions for me to
date.

Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

Thank you,
Ben
