Entering freight charges

To enter freight charges on a sale you create an account to record the freight charges and set the “Is Freight” switch to the ON position on that account.

This only needs to be done once, then on subsequent sales you simply use the existing account.

Freight Charges Account

You then create line items that use the freight account to record the amount of the freight being charged.

You should have a separate account for freight charges that you charge customers (a revenue account), and freight charges that you are charged by suppliers (an expense account).

On invoices you can optionally have all freight charges aggregated and shown as a single summary amount on the invoice.

This is controlled by the settings in the “Invoice Settings” section of the “Book Settings” screen.
