How are people handling the financial side of sales when freight is included in the price? Financially, we do not want Sales to be inflated by the cost of the freight.

You can add a cost item called freight

This is great for taking care of the accounting, but we don't want this to show as a separate line item on the invoice to the customer. For all they know, they are receiving product at a delivered price of $140. They don't need to know that $100 of this is product and $40 of this is freight.

You could still customize your invoice report to not print the detail layout(s) for freight items (whether by item name, group, type, etc.)

Yes, or original implementation had freight as a cost item AND a direct delivery item. Worked great to create the payable at the time of the transaction and everything. We added code to the invoice routine to "hide" the freight - but had to spread it to ALL the items on the invoice (a little more work!).

Just wondered, mostly from an accounting perspective - what other companies were doing.
