This field captures a freight charge specified by the vendor at the header level. Freight is typically captured at the line-item level.

This field is not usually mandatory, but the system converts any extracted value to a valid amount using a period as the decimal separator. The system uses this value in the validation calculation applied against all amount fields. It uses the following formula:

Invoice Total = Line item total + total tax + freight + miscellaneous charge – discount – withholding tax – ISR Retention

If line items are not mandatory, then the amount fields can also be validated with the following formula:

Invoice Total = SubTotal + total tax + freight + miscellaneous charge – discount – withholding tax – ISR Retention

Where Total Tax is the total amount of all taxes on the document. This can include Tax Amount and any other country-specific tax fields.

The tolerance for the above calculations is set in the Settings > Invoice Processing > Global Settings > Tolerance Settings, and the system applies the tolerance based on the tolerance group that is linked to the currency of the invoice.

If line pairing is set to occur during extraction, the system gathers all invoice freight amounts, both in this field and also at the line item level, and processes them. This is modified in the Settings > Invoice Processing > Capture Profiles > Misc Charge Settings > Misc Charge Categories tab. Standard settings for processing include booking the freight as a planned or unplanned delivery cost, or creating a special general ledger entry against the invoice.
