When you receive an invoice from a vendor, Sage 100 ensures that when you go to pay the vendor the Receipt of Goods matches the invoice. However, this is not the case for freight invoices. When a freight cost is allocated as a landed cost, there is no method to ensure that the freight amount that is allocated to the inventory received is the same amount for which you receive an invoice. Indeed, for freight on outgoing orders, you can add freight to the invoice as a miscellaneous charge/item and you can specify the cost of the freight but when the invoice arrives there is no way to ensure that the amount you recorded on the invoice is the same as the invoice. At the end of the quarter we are having a difference of $50,000 or more because of the difference between what we state as the freight amount and what we are billed for however it is difficult to know how this is happening because there is not a way to reconcile this at per each transaction. The freight amounts hit a general ledger account and you can only see the sum of these transactions. Does anyone have any ideas on how we can reconcile this better?
