๐Ÿ“„๏ธ Freight Allocation

The purpose of freight allocation is to apply the freight costs that either come from the manufacturer with the invoice or a third party billed separately to the overall item or serial cost. In most cases, freight allocation is primarily used for serial inventory but it does allocate freight to items also. The extended cost of the serial number will be reflected in the gross margin and the cost of goods sold. It is important to remember, if you use this feature, your freight invoices must be allocated to inventory asset not freight expense since this amount will become part of the serial cost.
