When we send parts to a subcontractor we use a freight company to ship these items.

We create a PO with Supplier A to do the subcontract work.

Supplier B (UPS, Old Dominion, etc) is paid for the shipping costs.  How can I associate the shipping costs with the cost of making the part?

Hi @TosohLBlum , I believe you can add the freight cost as a charge line to the PO you send to your subcontractor. And you may include your freight supplier as the Invoicing Supplier in this charge line so when you create the Manual Supplier Invoice for this PO, you can invoice both PO line and charge to different suppliers. And you can send a different PO to your freight supplier and close it without invoicing. Thanks.

I added the charge line and assigned it to a different supplier, but when I go to create the Manual Supplier Invoice, it shows both the PO line and the charge line there to be matched to the PO supplier invoice.  How do I match the charge line to a different supplier?
