Purpose and when to use this record

Record carrier freight charges connected to a purchase or commodity movement so the payable and landed cost can be reviewed together.

At a glance

  • Identify it by: Invoice #, Date Created, Invoice Date, Due Date, and Tonnage Report Start Date.

  • Check its business context: Vendor, Payment Terms, Tonnage State, Corn Checkoff Item, and Vendorinvoice Ptr.

  • Why care: Confirm item, formula, unit, warehouse, quantity, and production state together; mistakes can distort both material consumption and finished-goods cost.

  • Why care: Treat posted, processed, paid, reversed, and edit-locked states as controls—not ordinary descriptive fields. Confirm the source transaction before changing any state that the screen permits you to change.

Before you begin

You need the Brisk permission for the action you are taking on freight invoices. If a Create, Edit, or Delete control is absent, do not work around it with another user’s account; ask an administrator to review your role.

Have valid Vendor, Vendorinvoice Ptr, and Commodity Sale records ready first. Those selections determine where this Freight Invoice belongs and which later screens can find it.

Common mistakes and troubleshooting

  • The record will not save: Recheck Vendor, Invoice #, Amount, Vendorinvoice Ptr, and Commodity Sale and any message beside the field. A required related record may also be inactive or unavailable to your role.

  • The record saved but is not available where expected: Recheck Paid, Posted, and Edit Locked, then clear the filters on the destination list. A saved record can still be inactive, unpublished, locked, unapproved, or in the wrong workflow state.

  • The values look right but the result is wrong: Open Vendor, Payment Terms, Tonnage State, Corn Checkoff Item, Vendorinvoice Ptr, and Commodity Sale from the detail page. Correct the specific relationship that is wrong instead of forcing a total or status to compensate for it.
