How do I add shipping or freight charges to my invoice?

You can add shipping charges to your invoice in multiple ways. The following information describes the process and description for each method:

To add header-level shipping charges to an invoice:

1. Click Add to Header, and select Shipping Cost.
2. Enter the appropriate shipping amount and date.
3. Click Update to apply the shipping charge to the total invoice amount.

A header-level shipping charge relates to all line items included on the invoice. For example, if you add a header-level shipping charge for $50.00, this means it costs your customer $50.00 for you to ship all the items on the invoice to them.

To add line-level shipping charges to an invoice:

1. Click the radio button next to Line level shipping.
2. Scroll to the line items section.
3. Enter the shipping amount and date for each applicable line item.
4. Click Update to apply the shipping charges to the total invoice amount.

A line-level shipping charge applies only on a line-by-line basis. For example, you might want to charge $30.00 for shipping on one line item but only $20.00 for shipping on another line item.

To add shipping to a shipping-only invoice:

• Create a purchase order-based invoice for just line item that pertains to the shipping amount by removing any other line items from your invoice.
• If you want to send an invoice that includes only a shipping amount, your customer needs to include a separate shipping line item on the purchase order.

The method you use to submit shipping charges depends on what your customer allows through the shipping-related invoicing rules.

After you submit the invoice, you can only add shipping charges by editing or canceling the invoice. Contact your customer if you are unsure how to charge for shipping or freight.
