External Charge Table

Use the external charge table to define charges that will increase the landed cost of the item. External charges will not print on the hard copy of the claim nor will they impact vendor payables. The purpose of defining external charges on an invoice is to provide the ability to calculate the landed cost of each item. An example of an external charge is freight from a third party carrier.

An external charge on a claim that allocates back to items will in fact decrease the inventory value of each item and decreases the inventory ledger account. The offsetting entry is made to the accrual account specified in the charges master.
