Matching Accrued Duty and Freight for a PO Receipt
10 units of Item A at 15 USD per unit are purchased from a single supplier, WorldGoods, and shipped to your company. The cost for these items consists of the unit cost from the item supplier and the cost to ship each item.
Duty charges for Item A are accrued at a rate of 2 USD per unit and freight charges are accrued at a rate of 1 USD per unit. The freight company, FreightLine, carried the goods and sends an invoice for the freight costs.
Tax on the accrued charges is 12%.

Invoice Postings (Logistics Supplier)
FreightLine sends an invoice for 67.20 USD in freight costs, and this invoice is recorded separately in Supplier Invoice Create.
Item Supplier Matching Postings
When the invoice for the items (from WorldGoods) was matched in Receiver Matching, the following matching postings were generated. The postings include a credit to the Unmatched Invoices account for the invoice amount for the items.
Logistics Supplier Matching Postings
The invoice for the logistics supplier (FreightLine) shows that duty was charged at 20 USD above the accrued charge and freight was charged at 10 USD above the accrued charges. Therefore, the matching prices for freight and duty are updated in the Receiver Matching logistics charge pop-up window and the variances are recorded.
• In Receiver Matching Create, accrued duty is recorded as 22.40 USD, the accrued value plus 12% tax.
• When the duty variance of 20 USD is added, postings are made for the tax on the updated duty amount 12% of 10 USD = 4.80 USD, and the original tax amount of 2.40 is then netted out.
• Accrued freight is recorded as 11.20 USD, the accrued value plus 12% tax.
• When the freight variance of 10 USD is added, postings are made for the tax on the updated freight amount 12% of 20 USD = 2.40 USD, and the original tax amount of 1.20 USD is then netted out.
