If inventory items are on the invoice, then Manager will spread the freight-in charges across inventory items on the invoice.
In the near future, it will be possible to select another purchase invoice for which freight in charges apply to. This will solve common issue when freight-in charges are billed by different supplier.
Previously if you have entered Freight-in as line on Purchase invoices then it would automatically appear under Freight-in checkbox.
Btw @lubos this needs to be extended to Purchase Orders and Quotes too where its not available.
Hi There. a good added feature. But may i suggest that the Freight in checkbox follow the currency of the purchase invoice. I am from dubai.
My impolrt purchases are from italy hence in EURO’s.
The purchase invoice is recorded in EURO’s obviously but the freigh in has a standard currency of AED (which is my default company currency for reporting.)
It is standard practice for suppliers in europe to add the cost of delivery in their invoices which needs to be recorded in EURO’s so as to arrive at the total purchase invoice amount which is then paid.
This needs urgent attention. If i am missing a way to change teh currency in freight in check box option, please guide.
Thank you for your response @eko .
this thread is for downloaded version. I use the cloud version of manager.io for my accounting. How do i upgrade teh cloud version to the latest one?
This looks good, and when the ability to link to other invoices for freight-in comes it should save us some work and potential for error. However, I don’t like the current way the purchase invoice is rendered in Manager with the freight-in costs listed per item as new lines. For example, I have a purchase invoice with 91 line items (not all of them are inventory items) and five freight-in items. Each of the freight-in items is listed for each inventory item, making the purchase invoice 493 lines when viewed. I would prefer a return to the previous display of total freight-in per item listed as a new column, or for the freight-in items just to be listed as their own lines as in the transaction edit form.
@lubos … is it possible to still do an automatic freight-in allocation if you have multiple inventory items on your purchase invoice?
The old system worked well for us as we usually have a freight charge from our supplier to our freight forwarder and an additional freight charge from our freight forwarder (on its own purchase invoice). We used a ‘freight clearing’ account and it worked well for our situation.
We are confused as to how to process our purchase invoices now with the new checkbox. I have read the guide on the freight-in and it mentions it is possible to do manual allocation of freight and also automatic allocation if you have multiple items.
We have tried entering our latest purchase invoice but can’t balance the purchase invoice with the new checkbox for freight-in as the delivery charge to our freight forwarder is not being added to the purchase invoice total when it is listed in the new ‘checkbox’ section.
Please help
The checkbox is not the only change to Freight-ins it seems, Freight-ins used to distribute their value on all items in the purchase invoice, so when viewing the purchase invoice, item’s prices had their share of the Freight-ins added to them!
Now, Freight-in value is added as separate lines in the purchase invoice! How is this a better look of purchase invoices than before???
