I am looking for some input as to how other Lawson customers are handling freight charges with EDI and 810 vendors. We have been getting freight charges on the invoices and when the MA126 runs it matches the invoices and sets them up for payment. Our AP staff does not physically look at the invoice for these auto-matched situations to identify that there have been freight charges added. They are using the MA126 report for the back up for the payments and the MA126 report does not provide the breakdown of freight charges. What are other customers doing to prevent their organizations from vendors charging freight on invoice coming through EDI without having the freight on the PO as a line item.
One example that I could give is: Medline charged us $12.00 for an item that was on a 30 line item PO. The item was shipped separately. The invoice had the line item to match the PO and Medline still charged us freight of $13.00. The total of the invoice was $25.00 but yet the PO line was only $12.
Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
