Freight Management describes the features within NorthScope for managing the accrual, payment, and variance accounting of delivered freight charges on Sales Order and/or Transfer transactions. The process includes:

Accruing expected freight expense on Freight Legs on Sales and Inventory Shipments.
Automated creation of one or more Freight Purchase Order.
Processing freight bills thru A/P that create the vendor payable, debit accrued freight amounts, calculate & post any freight variances to the General Ledger, and close the Freight Purchase Order.
Analysis of freight variances and reviewing the details within the freight subsidiary ledger.

The purpose of this guide is to provide instruction for configuring and using the Freight Management features.

Freight Management Terms & Definitions

Term	Definition
Delivered Freight Types	Delivered Freight Types identify the unique components used in calculating the total delivered freight amount. The Delivered Freight - Freight Types include: Freight + Surcharge.: The sum of the Freight and Surcharge amounts. Handling: The amount related to Lumper and/or other handling charges. Other Charges: The amount related to any other charges such as Stop, Waiting, etc.
Freight Purchase Order	A Freight Purchase Order is a Purchase Order that was automatically generated to reflect the expected (accrued) delivered freight amount on a Sales Order, Sales Return, or Inventory Transfer Shipment Leg. In order for the system to auto-create a Freight Purchase Order, the following conditions must both be true: The Transaction Class of the Source Transaction must be enabled for Freight Purchase Orders. All the Freight Legs on the transaction, that have an estimated delivered freight amount, must be assigned to a Carrier that is enabled for Freight Purchase Orders. Unless both conditions are true, no Freight Purchase Orders will be created for the transaction. A Freight Purchase order will have values in the ERPx_APPOHeader table for: SourceTransactionFunctionalAreaSK, SourceTransactionTypeSK, SourceTransactionID, SourceTransactionSK, SourceLoadTransactionLegSK, and FreightVarianceGLAccountSK
Freight Purchase Order Line Item	A Freight Purchase Order Item refers to a line item on a Purchase Order that was automatically added to a Freight Purchase Order. Freight Purchase Order Items have a 'Line Source' enumeration value of either: Freight Freight-Handling Freight-Other Because Freight Purchase Order Items are auto added, to reflect the source transactions Shipment, they cannot be removed or edited.
Freight Variance GL Account	The GL Account used to offset differences between the freight amount that was accrued on the posted Sales Order or Inventory Transfer (the amount that becomes the Freight Purchase Order amount), and the amount paid on the AP Invoice. This is only automated on Freight Purchase Orders that were auto created from Sales Orders and Inventory Transfer transactions.
Shipment	Shipments are used to describe the unique delivery of product on a Sales Order, Sales Return, or Inventory Transfer. A Shipment contains one or more Freight Legs and describes the Items that were/are to be delivered by a single Carrier, on a single Date, and most often (but not always) shipped from the same Site.
Source Transaction	A Source Transaction identifies the transaction that originated the Freight Purchase Order. This will either be the Sales Order, Sales Return, or Inventory Transfer transaction.

Freight Management FAQ's

FAQ	Answer
What are all the transactions involved with Freight Management?	To fully use the Freight Management features within NorthScope, the following transactions are used: Sales Order, Sales Return, and/or Inventory Transfer: To record the expected freight amount. Expected Freight amounts are recorded on one or more Freight Legs, on the Shipment page of these transactions. Purchase Order: To create the object to match expected/accrued freight amounts to the actual paid freight amounts. AP Invoice: To record the payment of the actual freight bills and post any freight variance amounts to the General Ledger.
What transactions are used to auto create freight Purchase Orders?	Freight Purchase Orders can be auto generated against the following transactions: Sales Orders Sales Returns Inventory Transfers
What conditions must all exist for a Freight PO to be created?	A Freight Purchase Order is a Purchase Order that was automatically generated to reflect the expected (accrued) delivered freight amount on a Sales Order, Sales Return, or Inventory Transfer Shipment Leg. In order for the system to auto-create a Freight Purchase Order, the following conditions must both be true: The Transaction Class of the Source Transaction must be enabled for Freight Purchase Orders. All the Freight Legs on the transaction, that have an estimated delivered freight amount, must be assigned to a Carrier that is enabled for Freight Purchase Orders. Unless both conditions are true, no Freight Purchase Orders will be created for the transaction. A Freight Purchase order will have values in the ERPx_APPOHeader table for: SourceTransactionFunctionalAreaSK, SourceTransactionTypeSK, SourceTransactionID, SourceTransactionSK, SourceLoadTransactionLegSK, and FreightVarianceGLAccountSK
Where are expected freight amounts entered?	Expected freight amounts are entered on the Shipment page of a Sales Order, Sales Return, or Inventory Transfer. Amounts can be entered for each Delivered Freight - Freight Type for each Freight Leg of the Shipment.
How are Freight Purchase Orders created?	Freight Purchase Orders are auto-created when a Sales Order, Sales Return, or Inventory Transfer transaction that is configured to create a Freight Purchase Order, with a Freight leg on a Shipment that contains an estimated freight amount for a Carrier that is also configured to create a Freight Purchase Order, is posted.
Can Freight Purchase Orders be edited?	Some header fields of a Freight Purchase Order can be edited but only the Ln., Line Description, and Line Comment fields can be edited for a Freight Purchase Order Line Item. Freight Purchase Orders cannot be deleted, they can only be closed. Freight Purchase Order Line Items cannot be removed but new purchase order lines can be added. However, manually entered lines will not impact the Freight Variance amount that is computed when the AP Invoice is posted.
What happens when an A/P invoice for a "freight" bill is posted?	When an A/P Invoice, entered against a Freight Purchase Order, is posted the following things occur: Any variance between the AP Invoice amount and the Freight Purchase Order amount (the amount of the accrued freight from the source transaction) is offset to the 'Freight Variance GL Account' assigned to the Transaction Class. The Status of the Freight Purchase Order is changed to "Closed"
What happens if a Freight Purchase Order is manually Closed?
How do users fix mistakes?	A source transaction is posted with an incorrect freight accrual (e.g., it should have been $100.00 but was posted for $100,000). The mistake was caught before the AP Invoice was entered/posted Do nothing because the accrued freight amount will be "trued up" when the AP Invoice is posted. Enter an 'Accrue & Reverse' journal entry to correct the mistake. This should be done only if the AP will not happen in the same period as the source transaction and the mistake is of financial significance. Do NOT make a 'Manual' Journal Entry to correct the accrued freight account as this would only temporarily correct the balance. When the AP Invoice is posted, the debit to the accrued freight would be based on the original "incorrect" amount, resulting in an incorrect balance in the accrued freight balance. This should only be done if the Freight Purchase Order is also being edited, at the same time, to ensure any freight variance will be based on the new amounts. Do NOT edit the Freight Purchase Order as this would only impact the AP Invoice / Freight Variance amounts. This should only be done if a 'Manual' Journal Entry was also made, at the same time, to correct the balance in the accrued freight account(s). A freight bill was paid, that should have been linked to a Freight Purchase Order but was not. As a result, the accrued freight account is understated Delete (or Close) the Freight Purchase Order Make a 'Manual' Journal Entry to reflect what the Freight Variance should have been. If the actual invoice had been more than the Freight Purchase Order, then Debit the 'Freight Variance' account(s) and Credit the 'Accrued Freight' account(s) in the amount of the variance. If the actual invoice had been less than the Freight Purchase Order, then Debit the 'Accrued Freight' account(s) and Credit the 'Freight Variance' account(s) in the amount of the variance.

Planning Checklist

This section identifies the areas to consider and configure before assigning costs for the first time.

Determine how Freight Purchase Orders will be managed going forward.
1. Will they be used for all Sales Orders, Sales Returns, and Inventory Transfers or only some?
2. Will they be used for all Carriers or only some?
3. For the transactions they will be used for, do you have processes in place to ensure no applicable transactions are posted without estimated freight?
4. Are there any other transactions that post to a freight accrual account? If so, do you need to setup a new Freight Accrual account(s) to keep the manual entries separate from those linked to a Freight Purchase Order?
Ensure all applicable “freight” related GL Accounts are created in the General Ledger.
1. Sales Freight Expense: One or more accounts to record delivered freight expenses from Sales transactions.
  1. One "Delivered Freight Expense" account can be used for both Sales and Inventory
  2. Two "Delivered Freight Expense" accounts can be created to separate Sales and Inventory
  3. Multi "Delivered Freight Expense" accounts can be created to separate as needed (Fresh vs Frozen or Salmon vs Crab)
2. Transfer Freight Expense: One or more accounts to record delivered freight expenses from Sales transactions.
  1. The same comments from above apply
3. Freight Accrual Control Account(s) - Used for delivered freight accruals on transactions that create Freight Purchase Orders. One or more accounts to record delivered freight accruals from posted Sales and Inventory transactions that auto create Freight Purchase Orders. The balance in this account(s) should match the balance of open Freight Purchase Orders.
  1. This account(s) should have the Control Account Type of "Freight" assigned to signify the details of the account are maintained in a subsidiary ledger.
  2. One "Freight Accrual" liability account can be used for both Sales and Inventory
  3. Two "Freight Accrual" liability accounts can be created to separate accrued sales freight from accrued transfer freight
4. Freight Accrual non Control Accounts - Used for delivered freight accruals on transactions that DO NOT create Freight Purchase Orders. One or more accounts to record delivered freight accruals from other transactions (e.g., manual journal entries, manual AP invoices) .
  1. This account(s) should NOT have the Control Account Type assigned, as the balance will not tie out to a subsidiary ledger.
5. Freight Variance: One or more accounts to post freight variances to.
  1. This account(s) should be included in the Cost of Goods section of the Income Statement.
    1. This account will be Debited anytime the paid invoice exceeds the accrued freight amount
    2. This account will be Credited anytime the paid invoice is less than the accrued amount
  2. One "Freight Variance" account can be used for both Sales and Inventory
  3. Two "Freight Variance" accounts can be created to separate freight variance between Sales and Inventory
Assign the Freight Accounts to each 'Inventory' Item on the GL Accounts tab of the Item Record View.
1. Sales Freight Expense (Debit): Identifies the account number and description of the Freight Expense GL Account that is debited when the item sold, on a Sales Order transaction, is included on a freight sales program or a Delivered Freight Amount has been entered on the transaction.
2. Sales Freight Accrual (Credit): Identifies the account number and description of the Freight Accrual GL Account that is credited when the item sold, on a Sales Order transaction, is included on a freight sales program or a Delivered Freight Amount has been entered on the transaction.
  1. This should be the non Control Account for freight that is used to record 'accrued freight' on Sales Order Shipments that DO NOT auto-create Freight Purchase Orders. The account used for Freight Purchase Orders is set on the Sales Transaction Class.
3. Transfer Freight Expense (Debit): Identifies the account number and description of the Freight Expense GL Account that is debited when the item is assigned to an inventory transfer transaction and the transaction contains an included freight expense.
4. Transfer Freight Accrual (Credit): Identifies the account number and description of the Freight Accrual GL Account that is credited when the item is assigned to an inventory transfer transaction and the transaction contains an included freight expense.
  1. This should be the non Control Account for freight to record 'accrued freight' on Transfer Shipments that DO NOT auto-create Freight Purchase Orders. The account used for Freight Purchase Orders is set on the Transfer Transaction Class.
Ensure all applicable non-inventory "Freight” related Item Codes are created in the Item Master.
1. When Freight Purchase Orders are created, line items are added based on which Delivered Freight Rate Types contain expected freight amount(s). Each Delivered Freight Rate Type charge must be mapped to a non-Inventory Item. The same Item can be assigned to each Delivered Freight Rate Type for both Sales and Transfers or they each can have unique item codes assigned.
2. Add one or more non-inventory Item Codes to be used for Freight + Surcharge Amounts
3. Add one or more non-inventory Item Codes to be used for Handling Amounts
4. Add one or more non-inventory Item Codes to be used for Other Charge Amounts
Ensure there is a Purchase Order Class configured for Freight Purchase Orders.
1. It is recommended, but not required, to use a distinct Purchase Order Class for Freight Purchase Orders. Purchasing → Configuration → Transaction Class
Sales Order & Sales Return Transaction Classes. Configure the 'Freight Matching' section on the Transaction Class Record View for each Sales Order and Sales Return Transaction Class you will be managing with Freight Purchase Orders. Sales → Configuration → Transaction Class
1. Auto-Create Purchase Orders for Delivered Freight: Set to "No" until you are ready for the cutover but configure the remaining items now for the Transaction Class(es) that will participate in Freight Purchase Orders.
2. Sales Freight Accrual GL Account: Assign the Freight Accrual Control Account that will be used for automated Freight Purchase Orders.
3. Freight Variance GL Account: Assign the GL Account that will be used to manage variances between expected and actual freight amounts.
4. Purchase Order Class: Assign the Purchase Order Class used for Freight Purchase Orders
5. Purchase Order Item ID for Freight + Surcharge Amounts: Assign the Item ID to be used
6. Purchase Order Item ID for Handling Amounts: Assign the Item ID to be used
7. Purchase Order Item ID for Other Charge Amounts: Assign the Item ID to be used
Inventory Transfer Transaction Classes. Configure the 'Freight Matching' section on the Transaction Class Record View for each Transfer Transaction Class you will be managing with Freight Purchase Orders. Inventory → Configuration → Transaction Class
1. Auto-Create Purchase Orders for Delivered Freight: Set to "No" until you are ready for the cutover but configure the remaining items now for the Transfer Class(es) that will participate in Freight Purchase Orders.
2. Transfer Freight Accrual GL Account: Assign the Freight Accrual Control Account that will be used for automated Freight Purchase Orders.
3. Freight Variance GL Account: Assign the GL Account that will be used to manage variances between expected and actual freight amounts.
4. Purchase Order Class: Assign the Purchase Order Class used for Freight Purchase Orders
5. Purchase Order Item ID for Freight + Surcharge Amounts: Assign the Item ID to be used
6. Purchase Order Item ID for Handling Amounts: Assign the Item ID to be used
7. Purchase Order Item ID for Other Charge Amounts: Assign the Item ID to be used
Carriers. Configure the 'Freight Matching' properties for the Carrier(s) that participate in Freight Purchase Orders. Sales or Inventory → Setup → Carriers
1. AP Vendor Name: Assigns the Vendor to be used on the associated Purchase Order record.
2. Enable for Sales Freight Purchase Orders: Set to "Yes" to make the Carrier eligible for participation in Freight Purchase Orders for Sales Orders and Returns
3. Enable for Transfer Freight Purchase Orders: Set to "Yes" to make the Carrier eligible for participation in Freight Purchase Orders for Transfers

Cutover Plan

This section identifies the steps necessary to begin using the Freight Management features once all the items in the Planning Checklist have been completed

Ensure the Freight Accrual Control Account(s) have no balance.
Set the "Auto-Create Purchase Orders for Delivered Freight" Property to "Yes" for all the Sales, Returns, and Transfers that will auto create Freight Purchase Orders

Ongoing Freight Management (after the cutover)

These steps should be followed prior to closing each Fiscal Period or as needed

Ensure the total balance in the accrued freight Control Accounts matches the total value of the open Freight Purchase Orders ← We do not have an easy way (report) to do this
1. Balance in the freight Control Account(s) as of a Period End
2. Balance in open Freight Purchase Orders
  1. 'AP Amt. Remaining' column in the Purchase Order Line List View, when the Purchase Order Line List View is filtered to only include freight purchase order lines with a Purchase Order Date <= period end date.
  2. Getting this out of the Purchase Order Line List View may be a challenge. Users will need to add the new "Source Transaction" and then open the Column Filter Tool for that column and set it to either "Is not null", "Is not empty", or "Has value"
  3. This is where a new Freight Control Account Subledger inquiry or report should be added

Auto-Creating Freight Purchase Orders

This section provides details on how Purchase Orders are auto-created from the Freight Management feature. Freight Purchase Orders can be created from:

Posted Sales Orders and/or Returns
Posted 1-part Transfers
Posted Transfer Receipts from 2-part Transfers

Purchase Orders that are automatically created when posting Sales and/or Inventory transactions containing delivered freight (Freight PO's), and their associated line items, have different edit rules from manually created Purchase Orders and/or manually added line items. This section identifies the values, where they came from and the edit rules for each field of an "Open" Freight Purchase Order.

Header Toolbar

The Toolbar Icons shown have different functionality for Freight Purchase Orders vs. manually entered Purchase Orders. The functionality of the toolbar Icons not specified in this section work the same across all Purchase Order types.

Icon	New behavior
Delete	Freight Purchase Orders cannot be deleted. If a Freight Purchase Order is no longer needed the Status must be set to "Closed". If a user attempts to delete a Freight Purchase Order, the message "[PO#] is a Freight Purchase Order and therefore cannot be deleted. Freight Purchase Orders can only be closed." will appear.
Mass Update	If a Freight Purchase Order is manually closed, a journal entry will be auto created to Debit the freight liability account and Credit the Freight Variance account. This ensures the Accrued Freight Control Totals remain in balance. This feature is not yet complete.
More Actions	Selecting the option 'RV: Source Transaction' opens the record view for the Sales Order, Return, or Transfer transaction that created the Purchase Order. This is only applicable to Freight Purchase Orders as manual Purchase Orders do not have a source transaction.
