Hey all – my company handles about 500 trucks of freight inbound and outbound / month. All this freight is incurred internally as an expense and not charged to the customer or supplier. The costs hit our gross profit level on the individual deal. My understanding is that Epicor has no way to add an…

Yes this can be done with a Miscellaneous charge. That charge will have a GL Control that will be tied to the freight GL account you want.

From what I understand, even if you do a Miscellaneous charge that uses a GL control that will hit a COGS GL, the charge (say $650 for outbound freight) will still hit the customer invoice/AR.

Hmm, this might count as a funky solution, but couldn’t you use a PO for shipping and associate it with either an order line or an outsourced operation?

You should talk to your CAM, the landed costs module might be able to do what you need.

Yes we have been talking about that. We use Landed Cost for material coming into our sites. I was seeing if we could almost mirror the landed cost module on the outbound :sweat_smile: as we do a ton of container shipments as well that we want to track. It didn’t seem possible. Thanks for feedback I…

I see, I don’t have that module so I wasn’t aware of its shortcomings
