  1. Select Financials > Payables > Match Setup > Add On Charges.
  2. Click Create.

    Type
    Select a type for the code. Types are Cost, Allowance, Freight, and Insurance.
    Track Type
    Select a track type. Track types are Other AOC, Insurance, Freight, and Customs Charges.
    Spread Method
    Select a method of spreading or distributing add on charge/allowance amounts across the invoice. You can spread the cost by volume, weight, rate, amount, or quantity. No Spread can be used by both Expense and Match invoices, but an Expense invoice can only use the No Spread.

    For inventory items, if you use a spread method of Volume and Weight, then you must identify the weight for the item in Item Master. You must also identify the stock cubic amount for the volume. For non-inventory items, you can add the volume and weight on the line. You must identify the weight and volume for the lines in order for it to spread.

    Add on charge can be spread on the PO by amount, quantity, weight, rate, and volume. Spread AOC on the invoice can be changed or added for amount and quantity only.

    The rate is identified on the add on charge when you add it to the purchase order. The rate is a percentage of the line's extended cost.

    Taxable
    Select this check box if the add-on charge is taxable. If you specified a tax code, then you must select Taxable in this field.
    Summarize
    Select this check box to summarize and print the add on charge/allowance amount for line items at the end of the purchase order.
    Print On PO
    Select this check box to print the add on charge/allowance on the purchase order or to transmit using EDI.
    Landed

The amount is posted to the posting account that is specified on the add on charge.

    Select the account and dimensions that are defined for add on charge amounts.
    Difference Account
    Select the account and dimensions to which remaining add on charge amounts are posted due to a spread.
