Add Shipping Cost to a Purchase Order

Shipping costs may only be added to New POs.

• The Add Shipping Cost command can be selected as soon as a single line item has been added to a PO.

• When you add a shipping cost to a PO, the system allocates that cost proportionally to each of the account codes already entered in line items on the PO.

• If you add or edit items after adding the shipping cost, the shipping line item account codes won't be re-allocated to reflect any additional account codes or changes in quantities or price. You can delete the shipping line item and then add it again to get the system to re-calculate the shipping account code allocations based on the new information.
